The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD can tow up to 36,000 pounds-making it one of the most capable trucks on the market. To unlock this maximum capacity, choose the available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 engine paired with the Allison-certified 10-speed automatic transmission.

The diesel engine produces 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, specifically engineered for heavy loads. If you opt for the standard 6.6L V8 gas engine (401 hp, 464 lb-ft torque), you'll still have excellent towing power-just check exact specs with our team.

The Sierra 3500 HD also includes smart trailering technology: Transparent Trailer View, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and available adaptive cruise control with trailering to help you work smarter.
