Jay Hatfield GMC – How Transparent Trailer View on the 2026 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Helps Chanute, KS Drivers Tow Smarter

If you tow regularly around Chanute, KS—whether that’s equipment between sites, livestock trailers on rural roads, or a fifth-wheel headed for the lake—camera visibility can be the difference between a calm hookup and a stressful afternoon. The 2026 GMC Sierra 3500 HD offers an available Transparent Trailer View as part of its trailering camera suite, digitally stitching images to help you “see through” a compatible trailer and monitor objects, traffic, and lane position more intuitively. This is more than a convenience; it’s a practical advantage for threading through narrow entrances, reversing into tight yards, and checking for vehicles in the next lane when you’re fully loaded.

Transparent Trailer View works in concert with the Sierra HD’s ProGrade Trailering System, which also includes in-vehicle checklists, hitch guidance, and helpful angles for bed and surround views. Add the available 13.4-inch GMC infotainment display with Google Built-in and you’ll have a clear, high-resolution space to manage those visuals in real time. The goal is simple: reduce guesswork. From the first alignment with your coupler to the final nudge into a storage space, the Sierra 3500 HD’s camera technology supports confident decisions and a safer workday rhythm.

• Confidence in traffic: Transparent Trailer View can help confirm lane clearance when merging or changing lanes with a long trailer.
• Peace of mind in reverse: Combined with hitch guidance and rear angles, the views help you square up to a coupler or ramp with fewer corrections.
• Awareness at angles: Additional camera perspectives assist at job sites where obstacles, posts, or equipment might be out of a typical mirror’s line of sight.
• Time savings on-site: Faster hookups and fewer trial-and-error movements mean more time for actual work.

For best results, start with proper camera calibration and ensure your connections are secure before each tow. If your routines vary—gooseneck this week, bumper-pull the next—preset your trailering profiles in the infotainment system to speed up setup. With heavier loads, consider the available dual-rear-wheel configuration for stability and visibility symmetry under braking and cornering, and always verify you’re within the truck’s rated capacities. Taken together, the Sierra 3500 HD’s camera ecosystem, chassis tuning, and 10-speed automatic help reduce fatigue over long days while keeping focus where it belongs—on safe, predictable control.
