The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD is engineered to deliver unparalleled power, capability, and luxury. It boasts a maximum towing capacity of 22,500 pounds-among the highest in its class-and comes with your choice of a standard 410 hp 6.6L V8 gas engine or an available 470 hp Duramax turbocharged diesel V8. Both pair with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive power delivery.

Beyond raw performance, the Sierra 2500HD combines rugged design with refined comfort. The exclusive MultiPro Tailgate, 83.5 cubic feet of cargo space, and available off-road suspension make it work-ready. Inside, 16-way power front seats with massage, heated and ventilated seating, and available premium tech like a 13.4-inch touchscreen keep you comfortable and connected.
