6 Tech Features In The Silverado 1500 That Will Make You Forget You're Driving A Truck

You know what driving a truck feels like. Hoisting yourself up into the tall cab, revving the engine, and letting the torque take the wheels. But trucks are getting smarter and wiser. Do you know what it’s like to be in a modern, high-tech pickup? You might just forget you’re driving a truck, and that’s not the worst thing.

See what it’s like to drive the new 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 with all of the latest tech features, and then stop by Chevrolet GMC of Mount Vernon for a test drive in 2026 Chevy trucks near you.

1. Super Cruise

When you imagine being chauffeured around town, you think of limousines or luxury sedans. You never would have pictured yourself receiving royal treatment in a truck, but that was before Super Cruise.

Super Cruise supports hands-free driving in the 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 in Mount Vernon.

With this high-tech feature, this is where rugged looks meet refined capability.

2. Connected Services

Your Silverado doesn’t just drive for you. It does everything you need it to do, like manage your truck’s status, keep you connected to customer service, and even provide entertainment.

The 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 in Mount Vernon offers available Connected Services for useful on-road services and In-Vehicle Apps.

3. Universal Home Remote

With the universal home remote, your Silverado 1500 becomes part of your home in Columbus. Activate or deactivate your home’s security, open or close your garage, and activate any other compatible home automation device or feature, all from your Silverado’s cabin.

4. Rear Camera Mirror

First you see it, then you don’t. Your truck’s rearview mirror has been the same old mirror since the dawn of time. That never changed until today. The Rear Camera Mirror in the latest Silverado 1500 plays magic tricks, projecting live footage on your mirror until it returns to its reflective sheen. Except it’s not magic. It’s just technology of the future.

5. Over 30 Inches of Screen Space

Remember when all you had was a little analog screen that gave you the time (and if you’re lucky, the radio station’s number)? The 2026 Silverado 1500’s new touchscreen in Mount Vernon will make you think you’re sitting in a decked-out SUV rather than your classic pickup truck.

6. Lane-Change and Blind-Zone Alerts

Driving a pickup used to take an incredible amount of self-awareness with a vehicle so tall and large. No one is saying you shouldn’t still be hyper vigilant, but advanced safety tech in the new Silverado 1500 makes driving through Mount Vernon a lot less stressful.

Lane Change Alert gives you the all-clear when merging over, essentially giving you a thumbs-up when it’s safe to get over. With the addition of Side Blind Zone Alert, you no longer have to worry about what you can’t see.
