SCAN FOR THE SILVERADO LTZ 2500HD PREMIUM REVIEW
Towing using cruise control is a contentious topic. I do it, but I have also had a few ‘Oh @##$%’ moments when the tow vehicle roared over a crest or carried a bit too much momentum for my liking, so I will not put a hand up to say it's the way to tow everywhere, always.
So why promote it in the MY24 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ 2500HD? It comes down to the integration of what was already a fantastic bit of tech, the ability to load dimensions and weights of trailers into the vehicle infotainment screen, and an update to the hardware used for judging safe distances between you and the vehicles in front of you.
The MY24 LTZ 2500HD has adaptive cruise control with an added camera that, when combined with the information of the bulk and weight towed behind you, changes the distance the cruise control will follow what's ahead of you on the road. Smart stuff. But to get the best of it, you need to use one of thebest features of the 2500HD: the ability to program trailer weight and dimensions into the system.
