No amount of performance is overkill in the world of pickup trucks. That’s why the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD packs a work-ready V8 to tackle the toughest towing and hauling jobs. The full-size pickup truck is waiting for you at your local GMC dealership, ready to deliver heavy-duty performance at the worksite.
Ground-Trembling V8
GMC offers a choice of two powerful V8 engines for the Sierra 2500 HD. A gasoline 6.6L V8 is standard, producing 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. You can safely tow a 16,000-lb conventional trailer, or attach a gooseneck trailer to increase the weight rating to 18,700 lbs. The max payload capacity of the gas-powered Sierra 2500 HD is 4,039 lbs.
The second option is the thunderous 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8, producing 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. The torque monster gives the pickup truck a conventional towing capacity of 20,000 lbs, and a max gooseneck trailer weight rating of 22,430 lbs. You can also load the diesel-powered truck with a maximum payload of 4,094 lbs.
Smart Trailering Technology
The Sierra 2500 HD offers numerous trailering technologies to help you handle heavy weights, including a dedicated tow mode, trailering mirrors, gross combined weight alert, and trailer theft detection. To tow safely in cities and highways, the pickup truck is equipped with trailer blind zone alert, trailer angle indicator, trailer sway control, and trailer brake control systems. Additionally, there is a pre-departure checklist accessible from the infotainment screen, covering essentials such as trailer light and brake tests.
Drivers can access most trailering functions on their smartphones using the myGMC mobile app, which supports managing trailer profiles, calculating load weight, and keeping track of trailer maintenance. The app also provides a wealth of informational videos that provide instructions on trailering features and safety.
Versatile Tailgate Design
You can effortlessly get goods in and out of the truck bed by lowering the available GMC Multipro Tailgate via the key fob. This six-function tailgate can be opened flat 180 degrees and has a load-stop function to stop loose items from rolling off the bed. Its inner gate can be unfolded downward to function as a bed step capable of holding 375 lbs.
Even when you aren’t trying to load cargo into the truck bed, the tailgate can be handy in many ways. If you need a makeshift platform in the remotest location, simply open the inner gate flat for a sturdy work surface that can hold your weight.
Hit the road with the GMC Sierra 2500 HD to see its monstrous V8 in action. Schedule a test drive at Randy Bowen Chevrolet GMC in Chandler, OK to get behind the wheel.
