The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD is a big truck, a very big truck. It's big in every way, from its styling and interior to its cargo and towing capacity. Simply put, the GMC Sierra 3500 HD is ready to meet the needs of professionals and homeowners looking for power and performance. With significant enhancements, especially to the engine, this new model promises to deliver an unrivaled driving and towing experience.
What’s new
The 2024 version of the Sierra 3500HD features a host of innovations. At the heart of these changes, the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine has been revised to deliver more power - 470 hp and an impressive 975 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 25 hp and 65 lb-ft over the previous version. These improvements are the result of the introduction of a more powerful turbo, new cylinder heads, redesigned fuel injectors and many other technical improvements. These changes guarantee improved acceleration, especially when towing heavy loads. The engine braking system has also been reinforced.
Engine Options
The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD offers two major powertrain options. On the one hand, there's the 6.6-liter V8 gasoline engine that delivers 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the aforementioned 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel is the ideal choice for those seeking maximum power. Both engines are now mated to a 10-speed Allison transmission for robust performance and a smooth ride.
