Sometimes a heavy-duty doesn’t get all the same safety features that a regular pickup truck might. That may be the case for some trucks, but the 2024 GMC Sierra HD gets more safety standards than ever. From the Sierra 2500 to the new Denali Ultimate model, this pickup truck has all the heavy-duty towing capabilities buyers want.
Buyers of the 2024 GMC Sierra HD will receive the Pro Safety Package
And according to reports, the 2024 GMC Sierra HD is the most luxurious and capable truck the brand has ever made. For 2024, the Sierra HD comes with a few new accoutrements, like the Sierra HD Denali Ultimate and AT4X off-road trims. GMC says the 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine with an Allison transmission gets 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque. It can withdraw between 21,900 and 22,500 pounds. For the 3500, maximum towing capacity is 36,000 pounds with the Duramax V8 engine, Max Trailering Package and hitch.
The Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Trailering System allows the driver to “see” through the trailer using a camera behind the truck. Another camera is located at the rear of the trailer and puts the image together on the screen, which improves visibility.
Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and the new Combined Gross Weight Alert make towing safer. GMC offers available adaptive cruise control with the Trailering System that can account for the added towing and increased braking distances while towing.
The Sierra HD Denali Ultimate is as luxurious as it gets
For the 2024 GMC Sierra Heavy-Duty Denali Ultimate, long names aren’t the only thing this truck has to offer. GMC says it is “the most luxurious, luxurious, and technologically advanced Sierra HD yet, equipped with unique improvements to overall design and premium interior appointments.”
A Vader chrome grille, 20-inch ultra-bright aluminum wheels, and fender badges featuring Denali Mountain Landscape add to the exterior appearance. The Denali Ultimate also gets a six-way MultiPro Tailgate, Kicker audio system, and electric steps assist are also standard. It also features an exclusive Alpine Umber interior, full-grain leather appointments, and open-pore Paldao wood. For off-road driving, the car gets upgrades to make it capable of getting off the beaten path.
While pricing for the 2024 GMC Sierra HD has yet to be confirmed, it will likely fall between $40,000 and $90,000. At the end of the day, more security systems and technologies provide a huge improvement for potential buyers. For those who need a heavy-duty truck that doubles as a family vehicle, the GMC Sierra HD might be worth another look.
