Leading the pack is the 2024 GMC Sierra HD, with its first-ever Sierra Heavy Duty Denali Ultimate model, representing the pinnacle of this evolution. This model year introduces unparalleled luxury and comfort, along with robust turbocharged performance and cutting-edge technology, including best-in-class trailering assistance technology. Expanding the lineup further is the off-road optimized Sierra HD AT4X, adding yet another dimension to GMC's robust truck portfolio. The introduction of this model showcases GMC's commitment to diversifying its offerings while maintaining its strong performance and reliability.
The 2024 Sierra HD boasts impressive technological innovations that provide a multitude of benefits for users. One standout feature is the state-of-the-art 13.4-inch-diagonal tablet-style infotainment touchscreen, which leads the class. This system not only offers split-screen capability but also integrates Google built-in for seamless connectivity. Alongside this, drivers are treated to a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15-inch head-up display, immersing them in a highly engaging digital experience. The inclusion of Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto further differentiate the Sierra HD in the heavy duty truck segment.
These advancements in technology offer significant advantages for users. The sizeable infotainment screen grants easy access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings, enhancing both convenience and safety for drivers. The split-screen functionality allows for seamless multitasking, enabling drivers to stay focused and quickly find the information they need. With customizable displays, the digital instrument cluster ensures that critical information is always readily available. Furthermore, the integration of smartphone capabilities represents a notable leap forward from previous models, providing users with a more connected and intuitive driving experience. These cutting-edge technologies also set the Sierra HD apart from its competition, showcasing a range of unique and often exclusive features that cannot be found elsewhere in the segment.
The 2024 GMC Sierra HD's exterior design reflects both boldness and sophistication. Each trim features distinct front bumper, fascia, and grille designs, showcasing GMC's attention to detail. Animated lighting technology enhances the truck's presence, responding to various actions like approaching, starting, or signaling. The vehicle sports new wheel designs, including larger 18-inch polished aluminum wheels for dual rear-wheel models and optional 22-inch accessory wheels. The color palette has expanded with six new options, adding to the vehicle's aesthetic appeal.
These design choices aren't merely cosmetic; they serve practical purposes as well. The revised front end, for instance, is not just visually striking but also likely contributes to improved aerodynamics and cooling efficiency, essential for heavy-duty performance. The larger wheel options not only enhance the truck's stance but also potentially offer better handling and stability, especially under heavy loads. The inclusion of animated lighting and new color choices improves visibility and personalization, allowing owners to adapt the truck to their individual tastes and needs.
Inside the 2024 Sierra HD, the distinction between trims is evident, with unique interiors for the SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate models. GMC focuses on premium materials and new color and stitching designs to elevate the cabin's look and feel. The introduction of innovative layouts and full-grain leather appointments in higher trims adds a luxurious touch, positioning the Sierra HD's interior well above the standard in its class.

For example, the Denali Ultimate trim features all-new 16-way power-adjustable and massaging front seats, a premium microsuede headliner, and high-quality leather-wrapped handles, ensuring a luxurious driving experience. The practical layout of controls and the infusion of technology, including large digital displays and infotainment systems, enhance user-friendliness and overall cabin ergonomics, making both short trips and long hauls more comfortable and enjoyable.
The 2024 Sierra HD features a robust 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V-8 engine combined with a 10-speed Allison transmission. This combination delivers an impressive 470 HP and 975 lb-ft of torque, boasting a 25% increase in low-end torque over the current model. Additionally, the lineup includes a standard 6.6L gas engine, now paired with an Allision 10-speed automatic transmission for improved power distribution.
The engineering enhancements in the Sierra HD's powertrain result in exceptional performance and efficiency. The increased low-end torque provides quicker acceleration and a more responsive driving experience, especially under load. Consequently, the 2024 Sierra HD offers impressive towing capacities. The Sierra 2500 HD has a base towing capacity of 18,500 pounds, while the Sierra 3500 HD takes it even further with a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds when equipped with the Duramax Turbo-Diesel powertrain. Furthermore, the upgraded turbocharger and combustion system improve overall engine efficiency, resulting in better fuel economy and reduced emissions. The 10-speed Allison transmission optimizes gear shifts, ensuring smoother power delivery and maintaining peak engine performance, particularly beneficial when towing heavy loads.
The 2024 Sierra HD lineup introduces the first-ever Denali Ultimate and the AT4X trims. The Denali Ultimate stands out with its unique grille, exclusive 20-inch wheels, and topography fender badging, while the AT4X trim, including the AEV Edition, offers enhanced off-road capabilities with features like a factory-installed suspension lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and 35-inch Goodyear Territory tires.
