Overview
Today's crop of full-size trucks are plenty capable for most users, but for the select few who need to tow and haul even more, heavy-duty trucks are the way to go. The 2024 Sierra 2500HD is the first rung in GMC's heavy-duty lineup, supporting the even more capable 3500HD. When this Sierra HD generation debuted four years ago, it lagged behind rivals in towing capacity and interior quality, but improvements along the way have largely evened the playing field. Within that field, the GMC Sierra is positioned as a more luxurious version of the related Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.
Edmunds spotlight: Big upgrades for 2024
With heavy-duty pickups, capability is the name of the game, and for 2024 the GMC Sierra 2500HD receives upgrades that finally make it competitive against other trucks in the class. Power from the optional diesel engine rises to 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. GMC says the engine offers 25% more low-end torque compared to last year. The gasoline engine also upgrades to a 10-speed transmission, replacing the previous six-speed. These result in an increase in conventional towing to 21,900 pounds for crew-cab models and 22,500 pounds for regular- and extended-cab models. Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the new AT4X trim that builds on the returning AT4 model, while the new Denali Ultimate trim pushes luxury even further.
Competitors to consider
With towing capabilities now comparable to other heavy-duty trucks, the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD is on more solid footing. It's more expensive than the related Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD but also notably more luxurious. We're partial to the Ford F-250 Super Duty, which was redesigned last year. It benefits from a wealth of new technology, including worksite apps and tools. The Ram 2500 is another favorite, with a smooth ride and a cabin similar to the GMC in premium design and materials.
Which Sierra 2500HD does Edmunds recommend?
For most people, we recommend the midrange SLT trim. It adds several features that dress up the interior and improve capabilities, making it feel much more polished than the rather spartan lower trims.

GMC Sierra 2500HD vs. Ford F-250 Super Duty
Coming off a full redesign last year, the Ford F-250 is the heavy-duty pickup to beat in the class. With a conventional hitch capacity of 20,000 pounds to match the Sierra and a fifth-wheel/gooseneck capacity up to 23,000 pounds, the F-250 holds a slight towing advantage. In terms of technology, the Ford has an edge, offering 5G capability and several useful tools and apps for worksites.
GMC Sierra 2500HD vs. Ram 2500
The Ram 2500 also matches the Sierra's 20,000-pound conventional two capacity and finds a few advantages in regard to comfort, interior and technology. Ram uses a coil-spring suspension, which delivers a smoother and more comfortable ride, especially when the bed is unloaded. Its interior is more luxurious than the competition, rivaling the GMC's Denali trims. Add in the handy RamBox bedside bins and it's hard to turn away from the Ram.
GMC Sierra 2500HD vs. Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
The Sierra and Silverado are nearly identical underneath their bodywork, with similar capabilities and manners on the road. The Chevy isn't as luxurious or refined as the GMC, but it's also not as expensive. That places the Silverado as a better truck for job-site duties, while the Sierra could be thought of more as a foreman's or manager's rig.
