Wilcoxson GMC – Mastering Towing with the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500’s ProGrade® Trailering System for Pueblo, CO Drivers
Weekend towing should be simple, confident, and repeatable—whether you’re hitching a fishing boat before sunrise at the reservoir or guiding a camper into a high-country site. The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 delivers that peace of mind with an available ProGrade® Trailering System that integrates guidance, status checks, and smart safeguards through the available 13.4-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in. Paired with the available in-vehicle Trailering App, Sierra helps you create custom trailer profiles, track maintenance reminders, and follow on-screen checklists so you can focus on the road ahead, not the what-ifs.
Confidence doesn’t end when you pull away. An available integrated Trailer Brake Controller communicates with Sierra’s antilock brakes to provide measured, consistent braking to compatible trailers, while StabiliTrak® stability control monitors for loss of traction and responds to help you maintain your intended path. If you tow more than occasionally, the available Max Trailering Package delivers the kind of hardware we appreciate for demanding loads: a 9.76-inch rear axle, enhanced cooling radiator, revised shock tuning, heavy-duty rear springs, and a 220-amp alternator. Combine those elements with the TurboMax™ engine’s 430 lb.-ft. of best-in-class standard torque or the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel’s poise and available max diesel towing of up to 13,300 lbs., and the system moves from “helpful” to “indispensable.”

- In-Vehicle Trailering App: Custom trailer profiles, status tracking, and checklists accessible on the center screen.

Loading and setup are easier with Sierra’s bed innovations. The available CarbonPro® composite bed resists dents and corrosion, so rough gear doesn’t leave a mark. The world’s first six-function MultiPro™ Tailgate adds a step, a load stop, and work-surface flexibility—exactly the features that make connecting a coupler or securing a generator less of a chore. Opt for the available MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER for campsite tunes after the tow.
Technology that reduces fatigue can make a full towing day feel shorter. The available 15-inch multicolor Head-Up Display projects key info onto the windshield, helping you stay focused. And when properly equipped, Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology can be used while towing on compatible roads—great for long interstate stretches. Add Adaptive Cruise Control where available, and Sierra’s tech suite stands out for both everyday ease and long-haul confidence.
At Wilcoxson GMC, we tailor Sierra to your needs—boat, camper, side-by-side, or work trailer—and walk you through how to use the ProGrade® Trailering System and in-vehicle Trailering App on day one. We’re proud to be serving Pueblo, La Junta, and Canon City with product knowledge that goes beyond specs, so you tow smarter from your very first trip.
