Following. There is basically no AT4 stock near me that has the trailer camera package, so hoping I can maybe add it later. I would love this for towing my RV.
I wouldn't hold your breath on that. GM has made it very difficult to add options later.

If you want the cameras you better order one with it already installed to insure you have what you want.

I work at a GM store and I am looking at getting a new body Silverado and ran across this issue myself. I want the "HD Surround Vision" camera package, but I am finding out that it isn't compatible wi

@Gypsy1962 did you get any good results after hooking everything up?  I'm in the same boat with the technology package and no aux camera option.

found that out the hard way too.  There was no trucks with the trailer camera package at any dealers around me, so i thought i could add it after too.  GM salesman even said i could of course...  Brought it in for an oil change and to have the camera added and they said its not possible on these new gen trucks...

I am curious if the rear trailer camera will stay on or if you just get an 8 second peek like you do when the camera is not connected. 
 

if I have to activate it for every look that seems to lessen the value. 
 

Thanks.

I have this plug on my 2019 GMC Sierra SLT Premium also.  Could you put this rear camera on a boat trailer?  Been trying to search for answer but no luck.  Thanks in advance!!

Best I can tell, at least in my 2019 SLT - the hard wire connections are there..  there is a connector behind the license plate that should be for a camera, and from 3rd hand information it seems the cabling is in the door/mirror for the side view trailering cameras...  so if you can get the cameras, great... what you'd be missing is the programming for the head unit to actually recognize them...  the dealer will most likely *not* do this.  Our only hope is to get somebody like WAMS to program it up for us :)

be warned though if your truck didn’t come with this it’s next to impossible to add after the fact...

Thanks!  Appreciate the quick reply.  I'm investigating whether not being able to add this is actually a fact.

Ordered a 2020 DENALI CARBON PRO 1500 and dealer said can't get the auxiliary trailer camera option cause of the technology package .This is crazy,you would think because of the technology package you can get the trailer camera option.

Well. I have the package and the camera on my 2020 NHT SLT.  I have a buddy with a 2020 Denali 3/4-ton that has the connection as well - but since his has the 360* cameras, his didn’t come with the separate cam.

 

I will go see him tomorrow and take my cam and we will just try it out.

Think the dealer led you astray. That was the case for 2019 but my understanding was they changed it for the 2020 trucks...

I have a 19 HC as well as the trailering aux camera kit and just ordered the connector # that 2kSierra was so kind to provide.  I'll connect the existing tied back camera cable that's already present behind the license plate to the new connector once I receive it.  Then, plug in the aux cam kit I already have and see where things go from there.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
