The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD can tow up to 36,000 pounds-exceptional capability that far exceeds many competitors. To achieve this maximum capacity, pair the truck with the available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 (470 hp, 975 lb-ft torque) and select the dual rear-wheel axle configuration.

GMC equipped the Sierra 3500 HD with intelligent trailering technology to make the job easier: Transparent Trailer View displays what's behind your trailer, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert warns of vehicles in blind spots, and available adaptive cruise control with trailering helps maintain safe speeds while towing.

The truck also features a multi-function tailgate with six positions, including a work surface, plus customizable cargo-box options with LED lighting and tie-downs. For towing advice specific to your needs, call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to speak with a specialist.
