2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD Regular Cab

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.

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.
