Holz Chevrolet – Can Super Cruise® on the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Tow Hands-Free near Madison, WI?
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 brings a rare combination of comfort, capability and confidence to Wisconsin highways, and that includes available Super Cruise® driver assistance technology that works even while towing on compatible roads. At Holz Chevrolet Buick GMC, we help drivers near Madison, WI understand how this feature fits real towing needs from weekend trips to the Dells to long hauls up I-94.
Super Cruise manages steering and speed on compatible, pre-mapped roads and can be used while towing when your Silverado 1500 is properly equipped. You remain responsible for monitoring the road with the Driver Attention System active, but this technology can help you arrive more refreshed on longer stretches. Silverado is the only full-size pickup in its class to offer hands-free driver assistance with towing capability, and our team can help you set it up so it works the way you expect.
Capability remains the foundation. When properly equipped, Silverado 1500 offers up to 13,300 lbs max available trailering and up to 2,260 lbs max available payload. The available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel delivers 495 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class highway fuel economy up to an EPA-estimated 28 MPG. The standard TurboMax™ engine provides best-in-class standard torque at 430 lb.-ft. Pair that strength with Silverado trailering tech — up to 14 available camera views, the In-Vehicle Trailering App, and features like Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert — and you get a smarter, more confident towing experience that complements Super Cruise on compatible roads.
Think of Super Cruise with Trailering as one more layer of confidence that stacks onto the Silverado 1500’s strong core — Durabed with best-in-class standard cargo bed volume and 12 standard tie-downs, the available Multi-Flex Tailgate with six configurations, and available HD Surround Vision. This is all designed to make hitching, hauling and highway miles feel easier around Madison, WI and beyond.
