The 2026 GMC Sierra HD (Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD) is engineered for serious work. It features an available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 delivering 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, with max towing up to 36,000 pounds. Recent chassis and camera-based trailering improvements enhance capability. Sierra HD includes up to 14 camera views, two-speed transfer cases, skid plates, and trail hardware on Z71, AT4, and AT4X variants. The upscale Denali cabin rivals luxury sedans, with authentic wood, patterned aluminum, and massaging front seats on AT4X and Denali Ultimate trims. ProGrade and advanced trailering systems simplify complex towing tasks. Visit Markquart Motors or call (715) 833-0444 to test drive a Sierra HD.
