Tackling Tough Jobs with the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD

With unmatched power, advanced technology, and rugged durability, the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD is built to handle even the toughest jobs with ease.

The 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD: Built to Tackle Your Toughest Jobs

Under the Hood

This year’s Sierra 3500 HD features a 6.6-liter eight-cylinder engine paired with an Allison ten-speed automatic transmission, delivering 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque in a rear-wheel-drive setup. If you desire more power, a turbo-diesel version of the 6.6-liter eight-cylinder engine is available as an option, boosting your Sierra HD to 470 horsepower and a whopping 975 lb.-ft. of torque.

Build and Stability

The 2024 Sierra 3500’s stability control system includes Proactive Roll Avoidance in addition to traction control, while the truck bed is constructed from high-strength roll-formed steel and includes an integrated assist step. A fully boxed frame enhances the truck’s structural rigidity and overall strength.
The standard four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes feature DuraLife rotors and Ferritic Nitro-Carburizing to reduce wear and extend brake life. The automatic-locking rear differential senses slight differences in wheel speed and corrects them by locking the rear wheels simultaneously to increase traction. An external engine cooler and an external auxiliary transmission oil cooler help optimize engine and transmission performance, making towing heavy loads easier.

Sierra HD Pro Safety

Automatic Emergency Braking

At speeds between five and 50 MPH, this system uses a front-mounted camera to detect obstacles and autonomously engage the brakes to help avoid or lessen impacts. The system also supplements your braking when needed.

Buckle To Drive

This feature reminds the driver and front passenger to buckle their seatbelts with visual and audio alerts and keeps the shifter locked in PARK until the driver’s seatbelt is fastened.

Following Distance Indicator

This safety system tracks the gap between you and the vehicle ahead, measuring it in seconds and displaying the gap time to help you maintain a safe following distance.

Forward Collision Alert

Working alongside the Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert provides alerts if you’re too close to the vehicle ahead, using a high-definition camera to monitor the road and warn you of potential collisions.

Front Pedestrian Braking

This system includes a high-tech camera capable of detecting smaller objects in your Sierra’s path, such as cyclists or pedestrians. At speeds between five and 50 MPH, Front Pedestrian Braking will detect objects, warn you of them audibly and visually, help enhance your braking, and/or autonomously brake for you.

IntelliBeam

Your Sierra will automatically dim your high beams when other traffic is visible, whether preceding or oncoming.

Lane Departure Warning

An onboard camera monitors the road lines and alerts you if your Sierra’s tires start drifting outside of the lines without a blinker on.
