What makes the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD one of the strongest pickups on the market? From the high-powered engine to the cutting-edge tech features, you can expect a lot from the Sierra 3500 HD, including these six versatile features.
1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine
The standard engine on the Sierra 3500 HD is a 6.6L V8 gas engine that’s combined with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination yields an impressive 401 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm.
2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine
If you have heavy-duty towing needs, the available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is an excellent alternative to the standard gas engine. The 6.6L Duramax offers a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds, making it possible to tow boats, other vehicles, and everything in between. This engine is also paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission and generates 470 horsepower at 2800 rpm with 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm.
3. GMC Trailering Package
The Sierra 3500 HD comes with a helpful trailering package that provides everything you need for towing. The GMC Trailering Package includes a trailering hitch platform, a trailer hitch, a 2.5-inch receiver hitch, a 7-wire electrical harness, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, and Hitch Guidance. With the Hitch Guidance function, you can view your trailer and hitch on an in-cabin digital display to ensure that everything is safe and attached correctly throughout your ride.
4. GMC MultiPro Tailgate
The Sierra SLE’s higher 3500 trims come with a GMC MultiPro tailgate that has six different configurations for hauling cargo and accessing your truck bed. You can fold down the top portion of the tailgate to haul long items like lumber or pull this portion downwards when the tailgate is open to create a step for climbing into the truck bed.
5. GMC Pro Safety
GMC Pro Safety is a collision-avoidance package that uses multiple functions to prevent accidents. Using features like Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Alert, GMC Pro Safety warns you about possible hazards on the road, giving you the chance to change your course of action before a collision occurs.
6. GMC Infotainment System
Inside the 2024 Sierra 3500, there’s a 7-inch GMC Infotainment system for all of your entertainment needs. This system features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, allowing you to pair a compatible phone with the truck for a more personalized in-cabin experience. The GMC Infotainment system also comes with AM/FM radio and SiriusXM satellite radio compatibility for a variety of music options.
