The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD is a premium heavy-duty pickup truck built for serious power and capability. It features a standard 6.6L V-8 gas engine with 401 horsepower, or you can upgrade to a 470-hp Duramax turbo-diesel V-8-both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

What sets it apart is towing capacity: up to 36,000 pounds with the diesel engine, well beyond competitors. You'll also enjoy innovative trailer-assist tech like Transparent Trailer View and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, plus a multi-function tailgate with six positions for work and play.

The interior blends rugged capability with premium materials and modern tech, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available advanced infotainment with Google built-in. Safety features like adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, and lane-departure warning come standard.
