8 Features of the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD

1. 6.6L V8 Gas Engine

The Sierra 3500 is a powerful pickup truck thanks to its 6.6L V8 gas engine and Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. This is the standard powertrain combo, offering 401 HP at 5200 rpm and 464 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm.


2. 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 Engine

Some drivers have extreme towing needs that require a more intense engine like the 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8. This available engine yields 470 HP at 2800 rpm and 975 lb.-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm. With this engine, you can reach a maximum towing capacity of up to 36,000 pounds.


3. GMC MultiPro Tailgate

Hauling, loading, and unloading cargo is easier than ever with the available MultiPro tailgate. The GMC MultiPro tailgate can be positioned in six different ways to meet a variety of cargo needs. This tailgate comes standard on the SLE and all higher trims.


4. Infotainment System

The 2024 Sierra 3500 comes with a 7-inch color Infortinament system that provides various entertainment and vehicle information resources. This includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth audio streaming, and SiriusXM radio.


5. Hitch Guidance

The Hitch Guidance feature is the perfect tool to streamline your towing process. Hitch Guidance gives you a digital guideline for attaching your trailer to your hitch quickly and correctly. This function uses a rear vision camera to give you a detailed view of your hitch at all times, even when driving!


6. Under-Seat Storage

The Sierra 3500’s front seat has built-in storage beneath the seat cushions, giving you a hidden space for extra cargo. Just lift up the 40/20/40 split bench to reveal a small cargo area perfect for tools, first aid kits, clothing, or other work and travel essentials.


7. Sierra HD Pro Safety

All trucks in the 2024 Sierra lineup come with an exclusive safety package, Sierra HD Pro Safety. This package contains a variety of assistive driving functions that can reduce your risk of accidents.
