Jennings Auto Group – Does the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offer Super Cruise with trailering in Beardstown, IL?
If you’re asking the question “Does the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offer Super Cruise with trailering?”, the short answer is — yes. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 makes Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance available on High Country, and it works even while towing on compatible roads when properly equipped. At Jennings Auto Group near Beardstown, IL, our team has helped many local shoppers understand what Super Cruise® does, how it integrates with Silverado’s trailering tech, and which trim, engine, and package combinations make the most sense for hauling boats on the river, equipment to job sites, or campers for weekend trips to the State Fish and Wildlife Area.
Super Cruise® connected by OnStar® manages speed and steering on compatible roads, giving confident, hands-free assistance during long highway stretches — and uniquely, it supports trailering. When your Silverado 1500 is set up correctly, Super Cruise® can help keep the truck and attached trailer centered and moving smoothly, reducing fatigue on I-72 and Route 67. It’s a standout capability in a full-size pickup, and a smart match for Silverado’s broader towing ecosystem that includes up to eight available cameras with as many as 14 views, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and the In-Vehicle Trailering App for checklists, profiles, and monitoring.
To decide if Super Cruise® is right for your Silverado 1500, consider how it complements the truck’s core strengths. Silverado delivers up to 13,300 lbs. of available trailering and up to 2,260 lbs. of available payload, depending on configuration. Four engines cover every use case: the TurboMax™ with best-in-class standard 430 lb.-ft. of torque, the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, and the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel with 495 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class highway fuel economy up to 28 MPG. If you prioritize long-distance towing with fewer fuel stops and relaxed highway manners, the Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel pairs naturally with Super Cruise® availability on High Country. If maximum power is your priority, the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 brings robust acceleration and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Just as important as the engine is the cabin tech that supports towing day to day. Silverado’s available 13.4-inch diagonal touch-screen and 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center put camera views, trailering status, and navigation where you want them. The available 15-inch Head-Up Display projects key info in your line of sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ help you stay connected, while available Google built-in keeps navigation and voice assistance simple. For comfort on longer hauls to Springfield or Jacksonville, available front leather-appointed seating and refined interior trims on LTZ and High Country make the miles easier.
If your weekends include gravel, mud, and unpaved access roads, Silverado’s off-road pedigree gives you confidence before and after the highway. Trims like Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss deliver a factory 2-inch suspension lift with the Z71 Off-Road Package, Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case, and an automatic locking rear differential. For the most capability, ZR2 adds Multimatic DSSV™ dampers, front and rear e-lockers, and 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory® MT tires. And when the work begins at the destination, Durabed’s high-strength steel, 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs. per corner, best-in-class standard cargo volume, and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate make loading, staging, and unloading efficient.
Shoppers often ask how to evaluate whether Super Cruise® with trailering fits their specific use. Here is a simple framework our team uses with customers in Beardstown and across central Illinois:
- Map your routes: Identify how much of your towing is on compatible divided highways where hands-free assistance offers the most benefit.
- Define your trailer profile: Note length, weight when loaded, and brake setup — then create a custom profile in the In-Vehicle Trailering App.
- Choose your engine: Balance torque needs and fuel economy. Many long-haul owners favor the Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel.
- Align your trim and tech: If you want Super Cruise®, start your build on High Country and add available trailering cameras.
- Test with your gear: Bring your hitch specs to our dealership. Our team can help you visualize camera views and feature integration.
When you are ready, our Beardstown team will walk through the build and help you experience how Silverado’s systems work together — from Adaptive Cruise Control for everyday commutes to Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert for merging confidently with a load. We can also demonstrate the Multi-Flex Tailgate configurations and how the available full-width step and work surface improve bed access and workflow.
