Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch can monitor bed weight and tongue weight, while BLIS with towing assistance helps provide added awareness around the truck and trailer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The in-bed power outlets can also provide up to 2 kW of power for tools, lights, pumps, or other equipment in remote work areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More &#8211; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastruckbarn.com\/blog\/best-used-diesel-truck-for-landscapers-in-fort-worth-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>What Is the Best Used Diesel Truck for Landscapers?<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How Can a Silverado HD Help Around a Ranch?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A used Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD or 3500HD with the Duramax 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V8 can deliver up to 470 horsepower and 975 lb.-ft. of torque.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That muscle is useful for towing stock trailers, horse trailers, tractors, loaded flatbeds, or large equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available Hitch View helps line up the receiver, while Transparent Trailer View can provide a camera perspective that makes monitoring a compatible trailer easier.
