This model also offers available driver-assistive systems, like BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning.
Many of these systems also exist on the Chevy Silverado 2500. However, the Ford F-250 pulls ahead with the available Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System with Pro Trailer Backup Assist™.
This system has multiple cameras and features to help you master hitching and towing. The Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ function uses a knob to help you maintain better control when backing up your trailer. There is also a customer-placed camera you can attach to the back of your trailer to get better visibility.
While the Silverado 2500 has plenty of cameras, it does not have a package like this.
