How GMC's advanced towing technology helps drivers haul boats, campers, trailers, and toys throughout Central Florida with greater confidence
One of the biggest reasons people buy a GMC truck or SUV is simple: capability.
Whether you're towing a boat to the coast, hauling a camper to a Florida state park, or pulling equipment for work, GMC vehicles are designed to help you do more. But no matter how experienced you are, towing can be stressful and, even, dangerous.
Backing a trailer into a boat launch. Navigating Orlando traffic with a camper. Changing lanes on I-4 with a trailer behind you. These situations demand attention and confidence.
That's why GMC continues to invest in advanced trailering technology designed to make towing easier, safer, and more intuitive. Today's GMC trucks and SUVs offer an integrated suite of Smart Trailering Technology that help drivers connect, monitor, maneuver, and manage their trailers with greater ease.
For drivers throughout Orlando, Winter Park, Clermont, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, and Central Florida, these innovations are becoming some of the most valuable features available on modern trucks and SUVs.
What Is GMC's Smart Trailering Technology?
Modern GMC vehicles offer much more than a hitch receiver and towing package.
Available trailering technologies include:
- Multiple trailer-focused camera views
- In-Vehicle Trailering App
- Trailer profiles and maintenance tracking
- Trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring
- Trailer light testing and diagnostics
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert
- Available Super Cruise compatibility while towing on select vehicles
Together, these systems help make towing more manageable from the moment you hitch up until you arrive at your destination.
Towing Technology for Boats, Campers, and Work Trailers
Florida is a boater's paradise whether you’re launching a boat at Port Canaveral or Tampa Bay, and getting your boat there safely matters. Available camera systems and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert help drivers maintain awareness when navigating crowded roads, highways, and marina parking areas.
For many boat owners, these technologies help reduce stress before they even reach the water.
Central Florida offers easy access to some incredible camping destinations.For families towing travel trailers, GMC's In-Vehicle Trailering App allows drivers to create custom trailer profiles, perform pre-trip checks, and monitor trailer systems directly from the infotainment screen.
Towing isn't just for recreation. Many Central Florida businesses rely on trailers every day.
GMC Trailering Technology can support:
- Landscapers
- Contractors
- Electricians
- HVAC companies

How Does the GMC In-Vehicle Trailering App Work?
One of the most useful tools available is GMC's In-Vehicle Trailering App. With the app, drivers can save information for multiple trailers, including:
- Trailer type
- Dimensions
- Mileage
- Maintenance schedules
This helps the vehicle tailor certain towing-related features to the specific trailer being used.
Perform Lighting Checks
Instead of requiring a second person to help, the app allows drivers to activate trailer lights while walking around the trailer to verify operation. This will help drivers feel confident knowing that every light system on their trailer is working before they head out on the road.
Monitor Trailer Conditions
When properly equipped, the system can provide information about trailer tire pressure and temperature, helping drivers stay aware of potential issues before they become problems.
