When it comes to heavy-duty pickup trucks that can handle the toughest jobs, the GMC Sierra HD lineup stands out from the competition. Whether you need to tow a huge trailer or haul a massive payload, you can count on the incredible strength and capability of Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks. GMC's professional-grade engineering puts Sierra HD a cut above rivals like the Ford Super Duty, Ram Heavy Duty, and Chevrolet Silverado HD. In this post, we'll compare the Sierra HD to these competitors and show why it's a top choice in its class.
Powerful Engine Options and Towing Capabilities
Its powerhouse engine options are at the heart of the Sierra HD's impressive performance. The standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine cranks out 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft of torque, letting you tow up to 17,370 pounds. That's more than the base engines in the Ford Super Duty and Ram Heavy Duty can manage.
For the ultimate in towing might, step up to the available Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8. This workhorse produces a whopping 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft of torque, giving the Sierra HD a max towing capacity of 35,500 pounds when properly equipped. That's more than any competitor can match, including the Ford Super Duty's 35,000-pound max and the Ram Heavy Duty's 35,100-pound limit.
Advanced Towing Technologies
The Sierra HD is engineered to make towing simpler and less stressful. With smart trailering technologies like a transparent trailer view camera system, in-vehicle trailering app, and trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring, you'll have extra confidence when pulling a camper, boat, or equipment.
When compared to features found in the Ford Super Duty or Ram Heavy Duty, you'll find the Sierra HD comes out on top every time. The Sierra's integrated trailer brake controller and available diesel exhaust braking also provide enhanced control on the road, giving it an edge over the competition.
Premium Interior Comfort and Connectivity
Inside the spacious, well-appointed cab, the Sierra HD keeps you connected and entertained. The intuitive infotainment system with an eight-inch touchscreen features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Meanwhile, the leather front seats and a Bose premium sound system turn the Sierra into a comfortable mobile office or a home away from home. While the Ford Super Duty and Ram Heavy Duty also offer premium interior options, the Sierra HD's cabin is more spacious, and its materials are a step above those of competitors.
Top-Notch Safety Features
The Sierra HD is a top pick for safety, with available driver assist features like lane departure warning, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and OnStar safety and security. Paired with a high-strength steel frame, reinforced cargo box, and robust four-wheel disc brakes, the Sierra HD is built to protect you and your crew. It offers more standard and available safety features than the Ford Super Duty and Ram Heavy Duty, giving you added peace of mind on the job site or the highway.
Versatile Model Configurations
GMC offers the Sierra HD a range of configurations to suit your work needs and style, from the well-equipped Sierra to the luxurious Denali. Choose from regular cab, double cab, or crew cab bodies, with standard bed or long bed options. Rugged 4X4 drivetrains are available across the lineup for enhanced all-terrain traction.
