The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD achieves a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds-one of the most powerful capabilities on the market and more than double that of competing heavy-duty trucks.

To reach this impressive capacity, you'll want the available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 engine, which produces 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque.

The Sierra 3500 HD also includes smart trailering technology to help you work smarter:
- Transparent Trailer View for visibility
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert to watch your trailer
- Available adaptive cruise control with trailering capability

You can also choose dual-rear-wheel (dually) configuration for extra stability when hauling. Whether you're towing commercial loads or managing a job site, the Sierra 3500 HD delivers the power and smarts you need.
