General Motors says its new truck interface will debut in model year 2027 on Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickups before spreading to more vehicles (opens in a new tab). The company gave no price and no on-sale date beyond the 2027 model year, and the truck it displayed was a pre-production vehicle.
GM says the home screen will pair an interactive map with a separate area for towing information, fuel economy data or media. The digital cluster changes layout depending on what the truck is doing, with modes for trailering, offroad and Super Cruise. GM says the interface sits on a single scalable foundation that covers electric, gas and diesel vehicles.
A 3D driving visualization shows surrounding traffic, lane markings and road objects, which GM ties to times when available Super Cruise is active. Adaptive Cruise Control and Super Cruise each engage with a single button press, according to GM. The company also claims it is the only automaker offering hands-free trailering with Super Cruise.
Controls, phones and cameras
GM says drivers will be able to customize shortcuts for frequently used functions, while controls for climate, audio and cameras will retain familiar locations. Vehicle settings open through a one-tap Quick Access window, and GM kept physical controls for buyers who want tactile feedback.
Incoming calls and messages no longer take over the whole screen, and after a call is accepted a timer stays at the top of the display that opens the full phone app when tapped. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay run alongside the native system, with phone content shown in a large card window next to native apps. Native app experiences are powered by OnStar, and the system includes Google Gemini, Google Maps and Google Play apps.
When a trailer is hooked up, GM says the interface adapts on its own, pairing trailering visualization in the cluster with a trailering card on the center screen. Hitch View helps a driver line up a trailer without a spotter, and underbody camera views help navigate obstacles that are hard to see. Off-road performance information is available on the center screen, and trailer light checks can be run from a smartphone through app integration, covering brake lights, turn signals, reverse lights and running lights.
What it needs
GM lists the Android Auto app, a supported Android smartphone and a compatible active data plan as requirements for Android Auto. Apple CarPlay requires a supported iPhone; data charges apply. Super Cruise needs a current plan or trial for the service and compatible roads. GM says ongoing wireless updates will develop the interface during ownership. It also says screen polarization will let only the passenger see content on the passenger display when the vehicle is moving.
If you are shopping a 2027 Silverado or Sierra, treat the interface as part of the deal only once GM confirms pricing and which trims get it.
