The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD can tow up to 36,000 pounds-one of the most powerful towing capacities on the market. To achieve this maximum capacity, you'll want the available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 engine, which pairs with an Allison-certified 10-speed automatic transmission and delivers 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque.

If you go with the standard 6.6L V-8 gas engine (401 hp, 464 lb-ft torque), you'll still have excellent towing capability. The Sierra 3500 HD also includes smart trailer assist features like Transparent Trailer View and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert to help you tow safely.
