For your 2011 Silverado, I recommend the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System item # HM50002. This system mounts to the license plate bracket on the back of your truck. It features a 3-1/2" color monitor that will give you a clear picture along with visual cues and audible alerts to ensure safety when backing up. The camera is powered by connecting to the reverse light circuit on your Silverado or by connecting directly to the OEM 7-Way.

I linked a video below of item # HM50002 being installed on a 2013 Chevy Silverado for you to take a look at.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

By all accounts the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller #C51170 works well and is easy to use and install on most vehicles. It is a brand new item so not a lot of feedback has come in on it. I did learn a few things though after speaking with our…

You are a little on the warm side for your transmission fluid. If you can keep it under 200 degrees you will have the max life out of it. That being said transmissions really start to go downhill at 260 degrees. The Derale cooler part #D13503 with…

The best hitch I'd recommend for your 2011 Chevy Silverado is the Curt hitch part #14301 because it has great towing capacities at 10,000 lb trailer weight and because it has only the hitch tube that hangs below the rear bumper for a more…
