the industry-first available transparent trailer view, which helps you virtually see through
the compatible conventional trailer. And for 2021, the following are just a few of the
enhancements designed to further increase your trailering awareness:

JACK-KNIFE ALERT This available feature tracks the position of the compatible
conventional trailer in relation to the truck, and if the front of the trailer approaches
3 8 13
the rear of the truck, an alert is displayed that you’re in a potential jack-knife situation.
Based on available equipment and user settings, the visual alert may be accompanied
by audible or Safety Alert Seat notifications.

TRAILER LENGTH INDICATOR When enabled and driving forward with the turn signal
activated, the available Trailer Length Indicator displays as a red overlay twice the
length of the compatible conventional trailer to help show when other vehicles are 4 9 14
present and may interfere with a lane-change maneuver.

The following views and features are not compatible with fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers: transparent trailer
view and rear side view with trailer biasing, Rear Trailer Guidelines with Trailer Angle Indicator, Trailer Length
Indicator and Jack-Knife Alert. See the following page for more camera-view and feature compatibility details.

Safety or driver-assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe

TRAILER HITCH TYPES GMC︱56

SELECTING THE RIGHT HITCH Choosing the right hitch and making the proper electrical connections affect how your vehicle

handles, corners and brakes, and allow you to alert other drivers of your intentions. Before selecting a hitch or trailering package,

you should be familiar with the weight ratings specific to your GMC vehicle.

HITCH BALL ON STEP BUMPER

WEIGHT-CARRYING HITCH This consists of a hitch ball mounted on a step bumper or draw bar, or a tow eye latched to a pintle

hook. Hitch balls are available in a range of sizes. Make sure that the diameter of your hitch ball matches your trailer coupler. Also

check that the ball and ball mount meet or exceed the Gross Trailer Weight Rating.

WEIGHT-DISTRIBUTING HITCH This is most often used for heavier trailering. This hitch type more evenly distributes the trailer load
HITCH BALL ON DRAW BAR by using spring bars to shift some of the hitch weight forward onto the tow vehicle’s front axle and rearward to the trailer’s axles.

FIFTH-WHEEL HITCH AND GOOSENECK HITCH These are designed for heavy trailering. Located in the bed of the truck, these

hitch types are most frequently used with travel trailers, horse trailers and other large trailers.

TRAILER TYPES GMC︱57

CONVENTIONAL TRAILER While typically used to

describe recreational trailers, like campers or boat trailers,

conventional trailers generally utilize a ball-type hitch.

FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER Fifth-wheel trailers can be

slightly larger than conventional trailers and offer a wide

range of configurations. These trailers are designed

specifically for pickups equipped with a fifth-wheel hitch.

GOOSENECK TRAILER Gooseneck trailers place the hitch

weight of the trailer over the rear axle of the truck rather

than the rear bumper.
