Wilcoxson GMC – How the 2026 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s ProGrade® Trailering System Simplifies Heavy Loads for Colorado Springs, CO Drivers
Heavy trailers, tight job sites, and mountain passes demand more than raw power—they demand precision. The 2026 GMC Sierra 3500 HD answers with the available ProGrade® Trailering System, a suite of integrated tools that turns complex towing into a confident, repeatable process. For Colorado Springs, CO drivers who split time between job sites and weekend trips, these built-in features make hooking up, monitoring, and maneuvering a whole lot easier. Camera views, in-cab checklists, and integrated controls do the heavy lifting behind the scenes, so you can focus on the road ahead.
ProGrade® starts with visibility. With up to 15 camera views, including Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, Bed View, and the Transparent Trailer View, you can align, connect, and navigate with a level of situational awareness that mirrors a second set of eyes. The in-vehicle trailering app simplifies setup—store multiple trailer profiles, run a pre-departure checklist, monitor tire pressures when properly equipped, and confirm lights before rolling out. Add in the integrated trailer brake controller, Trailer Sway Control, and the confidence that comes with the Allison 10-speed automatic and available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 torque, and you have a truck that feels as reassuring as it is capable.
- Hitching accuracy: Use Hitch Guidance with Hitch View to back precisely to the receiver.
- Visibility around obstacles: Rely on Bed View and available HD Surround Vision in crowded yards.
- Transparent Trailer View: Virtually see through your compatible trailer to spot merging traffic.
- Trailer profiles: Save settings for multiple trailers and recall them quickly.
- Safety checks: Run light tests and tire pressure checks when properly equipped.
Beyond the basics, ProGrade® is engineered for repeatability. Once you’ve set your preferred trailer braking, mirror, and camera settings, the Sierra 3500 HD remembers them. That consistency pays off when you rotate trailers during a busy week—no more starting from scratch each time. And because the system is fully integrated into the truck’s infotainment and driver information displays, the interface feels intuitive from day one. The available 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment system with Googlebuilt inn brings crisp graphics and smooth menus, while the 12.3-inch digital display keeps vital towing info in your natural line of sight.
For drivers tackling high plains crosswinds or steep grades, Trailer Sway Control and Tow/Haul Mode can help stabilize the experience. The system works with the Sierra HD’s underlying strength—robust frames, suspension tuning, and the stability of a dual-rear-wheel configuration when equipped—to maintain composure with heavy fifth-wheel or gooseneck loads. And when it is time to park or position the trailer in a tight space, the camera views and steering feel give you nuanced, low-speed control that inspires confidence every time.
Wilcoxson GMC brings practical, real-world demos to help you get comfortable with these tools. We set up realistic hitching exercises and walk-through camera views, trailer profiles, and safety checklists so you can see how the system supports your routine. For shoppers serving La Junta, Canon City, and Colorado Springs, our team can tailor a configuration—gas or diesel, single or dual-rear-wheel, cab and bed choices—that matches your towing profile and the terrain you travel most.
