EchoMaster has announced a new trailering camera system for the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups trucks, providing greater safety and convenience for customers who use their pickup to tow.
The new setup is called the Intellihaul 2.0 Trailering Camera System, and is available through Chevrolet and GMC dealerships. According to the manufacturer, the system was developed for 2019-model-year-and-newer Chevy Silverado 1500 / GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, as well as 2020-model-year-and-newer Heavy Duty Silverado and Sierra models, specifically those not equipped with the High Definition Surround Vision Package (RPO code UVS).
The new system includes a wireless trailer camera, side blind spot cameras, and a smart graphical user interface integrated with the factory infotainment screen. The graphical interface automatically activates based on driver inputs, such as when using the turn signals or reversing, but can also be activated using the touchscreen controls.
“While towing in Silverado and Sierra trucks, the driver is presented with significant blind spot areas when driving, parking, and reversing,” EchoMaster states in a press release. “This system provides visibility into those blind spots to help improve the driver’s situational awareness, enabling a safer and more informed driving experience.”
Standout features include HD camera quality, factory-matched side mirror pods, and multiple camera views. There’s also the option for up to four cameras total.
Two versions are available, including one for the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickups, and another for the Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups, with differentiation between the two systems coming down to the factory-matched blind spot camera housings. The system will not void the factory warranty.

A million dollar ?. How much?
Right. Cost? Must be pretty high, since no disclosure. I just received my TB LT and was disappointed when the 360 camera system wasn’t available unless you wanted High country trim.
I noticed it did not mention the 2021 model year of the 2021 GMC 3500. At present there is not a wireless camera that works with this year. Furrion has been testing an adapter that will allow their wireless cameras to be used. It should be available soon.
I see the gmc 2500hd denali don’t get this? Why on earth would you not put this on a truck that cost more than 70 thousand dollars? That makes no sense to me.
DOES NOT FIT… Echomaster confirmed the Intellihaul 2.0 Trailering Camera part # 19421450, does not fit the 2019 GMC Sierra New Body Style. The dealer called once everything was torn apart to tell me that they would have to drill although the instructions didn’t say to drill. I stopped them from drilling and I contacted Echomaster immediately. Echomaster confirmed that part # 19451450 does not fit. Echomaster just learned last week that the camera mirror housing does not fit the Sierra and do not have ETA for a new part that will fit the Sierras. Hope this helps!
I was speaking to a rep from Furrion and they have been testing an adapter and it looks like this will solve the problem with the voltage output and it should be coming to market soon. It’s to bad that with all the camera views available from GM they never thought about a wireless connection. They only provide a wired connection.
Hello, I have furrion Bluetooth for my fifth wheel, I had the same thought and they are very affordable.
Ford F-150 trucks have had this for awhile now, GM/Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan and all the rest are almost always having to play catch-up to Ford!
