Grand Island Chevrolet GMC – Smart Towing Made Simple around Central City, NE with the 2025 Sierra 2500 HD
Heavy-duty trucks are built to pull, but the difference between a long, calm tow and a white-knuckle drive often comes down to technology and setup. For owners traveling the highways and farm roads around Central City, NE, the 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 HD streamlines the process with powerful engines, intuitive trailering tools, and visibility tech that takes the guesswork out of hitching, braking, and lane changes.
Below, we focus on two areas that make the Sierra HD stand out for ranchers, contractors, and RVers alike: ProGrade® Trailering Tech and camera coverage. Then we answer common questions we hear from customers planning heavier loads and longer trips.
- ProGrade Trailering Tech suite: a built-in set of tools designed to guide you through hitching and towing with checklists, diagnostics, and helpful on-screen prompts.
- In-Vehicle Trailering App: manage trailer profiles, run a pre-departure checklist, test lights, monitor maintenance intervals, and see trailer tire pressure information when properly equipped.
- Camera coverage options: up to 14 available camera views, including HD Surround Vision, Bed View Camera, hitch guidance, and the available industry-first transparent trailer view.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering: available system that factors in additional drag and braking distances when a trailer is detected.
- Smart powertrains: a standard 6.6L gas V8 with an Allison® 10-speed automatic, plus an available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 with an Allison® 10-speed for maximum torque and control.
Pro tip for first-time fifth-wheel owners: create a named trailer profile for each rig you tow. The Sierra HD can remember important trailer-specific settings, making it easy to switch from a livestock trailer to a camper without reconfiguring every time. Combine that with the transparent trailer view and HD Surround Vision, and you can check blind spots before committing to a pass, see into the bed to monitor cargo, and align the hitch with precision on the first try.
Inside, the available 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google built-in gives you turn-by-turn directions, voice controls, and compatible apps, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your phone’s maps and playlists front and center. A 12.3-inch digital Driver Information Center helps keep critical data in view, and an available 15-inch multicolor Head-Up Display can project speed and alerts onto the windshield when you prefer eyes-up towing. Add an available Bose Premium Sound System, and those hours between stops feel shorter and more relaxing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I choose between the gas and Duramax® diesel engines?
If you tow heavy, tow often, or travel through hilly terrain, the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 with an Allison® 10-speed offers superior torque and an available integrated exhaust brake for downhill control. The standard 6.6L gas V8 with an Allison® 10-speed is a strong choice for mixed duty that includes daily driving, moderate towing, and lower annual mileage.
Can the Sierra 2500 HD help with hitch alignment when I’m solo?
Yes. With up to 14 available camera views, including hitch guidance and Bed View Camera, it’s easier to line up the receiver without a spotter. Add the transparent trailer view to check around your rig once you’re underway.
What safety features support towing on busy highways?
Sierra HD Pro Safety includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, Buckle to Drive, and IntelliBeam. Available Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering helps maintain gaps while factoring in added mass and drag.
How does the truck help me organize multiple trailers?
The In-Vehicle Trailering App lets you build unique trailer profiles, store maintenance logs, run pre-trip checklists, and test lights. It’s a simple way to keep different rigs ready for work or weekends.
Whether you’re hauling equipment to the fairgrounds or heading out with a fifth-wheel for a long weekend, the Sierra 2500 HD makes towing more predictable and less stressful.
