OKEMOS, Mich. – The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado is a tough truck with a tough job, but Chevy wants to keep your task of driving the pickup easy and convenient and that’s exactly what drivers will get with new technology in the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD.

With Digital Steering Assist, you have the power to haul and trailer with less effort than ever before thanks to electronic controls that improve road holding and stability on the highway and crowned roads. Whether or not your truck is loaded, Digital Steering Assist enables your Silverado to respond quicker to the condition of a road. Unfortunately, this technology isn’t available on Work Trucks.

Along with Digital Steering Assist, the new Silverado is debuting a Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailering Prep Package for the model that allows you to tow large trailers from the factory, and is accompanied by a spray-in bedliner. The trailering prep package equips your pickup with a frame-mounted hitch platform and tray that accommodates a gooseneck ball hitch or fifth wheel hitch mounting brackets, and a cargo bed-mounted trailer harness. You can also find a Gooseneck Completion Kit that features a 2-5/16-inch ball hitch and tow chain tie-downs at Hank Graff Chevrolet Okemos in the near future.

Chevy’s infotainment system MyLink will also see improvements for the 2016 Silverado, namely by providing you with more connectivity options.  A major MyLink update includes a new HD radio with a 7-inch-diagonal touchscreen that comes with improvements like a faster processor, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The 8-inch screen provides CarPlay capability as well, but Android Auto capability won’t be implemented until later in the year.

Along with a list of new technology for the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, the pickup achieved maximum trailering ratings that meet SAE J2807 –– Performance Requirements for Determining Tow-Vehicle Gross Combination Weight Rating and Trailer Weight Rating –– standards thanks to the optional powertrain combination of a Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel and Allison 1000 six-speed transmission.

This brief glimpse into a few the new upgrades the 2016 Silverado showcases are enough to remind us of how Chevy is always moving forward. Despite its constant innovativeness, you can still see vast amounts of ingenuity in the used trucks by Chevy at our Okemos area used car dealer.
