The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD gives you two powerful engine choices. The standard powertrain is a 6.6-liter V-8 gas engine producing 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For maximum capability, upgrade to the available 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 engine, which generates 470 horsepower and an impressive 975 pound-feet of torque, also with a 10-speed automatic. Both engines offer rear- or four-wheel drive options. The diesel engine is ideal if you regularly tow heavy loads or need superior hauling power.
