If you’re a fan of American-made pickup trucks with immense power, you’re already familiar with the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 and its companion, the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500. These two iconic pickup trucks offer several innovative technologies focused on towing and unmatched capabilities thanks to two superb powertrains.

2024 GMC Sierra 2500
The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 comes standard with a 6.6-liter V8 gas engine that produces an impressive 401 horsepower alongside 464 lb-ft of torque. If you need something more powerful, opt for the 6.6-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine that pumps out a whopping 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque.
When fully equipped, this GMC truck also gets a best-in-class Crew Cab max towing capacity of up to 22,070 pounds and a best-in-class heavy-duty cargo bed volume. If you opt for the Sierra SLE trim level, you’ll also have the option of the X31 Off-Road Package, which includes Twin-Tube Rancho® Shocks and Skid Plates.
2024 GMC Sierra 3500
If you’re looking for something even more powerful, you’ll want to consider the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500. You’ll have the same two powertrain options for this truck, each paired with a new and improved Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission. You’ll also benefit from a maximum towing capacity of up to 36,000 pounds, easily besting the Sierra 2500 and its 22,500-pound towing capacity.
These two trucks also offer the most trailering-assistance technologies in their class, including up to 14 available camera views with the newly available transparent trailer view. Adaptive Cruise control with trailering support is also new for 2024, meaning this technology can now account for extra drag and increased braking distances.
Why the Differences?
Of course, this raises a question: how can two trucks put the same powertrains to such different uses, and how do you pick the right one? Second question first: talk to your GMC dealer, who can help you choose the suitable truck for your needs. To address the other question, while the powertrains are the same, both trucks’ frames and axle weights are different, so the GMC Sierra 3500 HD is more capable.
