Safety and the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado: Amazing Technologies

The Chevrolet Silverado is one of the most respected vehicles in the full-size pickup truck category. In fact, everything it offers is state-of-the-art, whether it's comfort, towing capabilities or even the amenities offered.


And add to that a host of technologies that increase occupant safety. Let's see three.


1 - Cameras to help you


In the old days, when hauling loads, it was good to have a friend to properly align the trailer for the hitching operation. Then, when we hit the road, we relied on the mirrors to see what was behind it. Today, it is possible to count on a camera system giving us 15 different shots to help us through all the stages. Concretely, there are 4 views for attaching the trailer, 5 for parking maneuvers and low-speed operations, as well as 6 for driving, including a socket that makes the load being dragged invisible, so that we can see the road behind us.


2 - Towing mode


Hitting the road with 7,000 or 10,000 pounds hitched in the back can increase stress levels, especially when you're not yet a transportation expert. It can become even more stressful if one has to take more mountainous roads where there are many climbs and steep descents. We must therefore think about managing the transmission to take advantage of the maximum power when climbing and use the engine brake when descending to spare our brakes. By activating tow mode, the Chevrolet Silverado does all of this for you, leaving you free to concentrate on driving.


3 - Safety features by the ton


Finally, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado can come with a host of safety features. Whether we're talking about a frontal collision warning system, automatic emergency braking, blind spot or rear cross traffic alerts, automatic low beams or head-up display, the list is endless. Above all, when you consult it, it is reassuring, because you know that you are behind the wheel of a safe model when the mentioned elements are present.
