PRECISION MATTERS.
It matters in every pound-foot of torque, every millimeter of fit and finish and every decibel of quiet. That’s
what drives us to reimagine solutions and create rewarding driving experiences. The new 2017 Sierra 2500HD
and 3500HD are prime examples. Their quiet, refined interiors put you in control of an available all-new
next-generation Duramax Turbo Diesel engine—our most powerful ever—combined with chassis systems for robust
heavy-duty hauling and trailering. Together they produce a premium-duty breed of Professional Grade trucks.

WORKS HARD. HARDLY BREAKS A SWEAT.
Sierra HD trucks are designed, engineered and built to help you achieve more with the enhanced heavy-duty capability of the renowned available Duramax Turbo Diesel engine
and Allison® 1000 transmission. This new-generation powertrain packs more horsepower and torque. Sierra 3500 Denali HD offers robust payload and trailering as well as premium
comfort and technology, followed closely by Sierra 2500 Denali HD, packing the same craftsmanship and un-truck-like accommodations. And for those who venture off pavement,
the HD All Terrain tackles roads less paved. All of them feature quiet cabins and our most innovative cargo boxes.

THE LEGEND. NOW MORE LEGENDARY.
Sierra HD gets its heavy-duty power from a proven source, the all-new available Duramax 6.6L V-8 Turbo Diesel mated
to the Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission. With 910 lb-ft of torque and 445 hp under your right foot, it’s our
most powerful Duramax Diesel ever. Prefer your power gasoline-fueled? Sierra HD comes standard with the force and
efficiency of our 360-hp Vortec 6.0L V-8.

DIGITAL STEERING ASSIST: TURNING MADE EASY.
GMC engineers love challenges. The 2017 Sierra HD offers a steering system smart enough to tailor its response to your unique driving situation, in real time. Available Digital Steering Assist senses
speed (especially important when trailering) to enable ease of handling at low speeds and improved steering feel at highway speeds. It also changes when the Tow/Haul button is activated, providing
additional assist at reduced speeds and less at highway cruising speeds.
HIGHWAY SPEED
HIGHWAY DRIVING While cruising at highway speeds, Digital Steering
Assist decreases power assist to enhance road feel for heightened
confidence and reduced driver fatigue on uneven roads.
LOW SPEED
TRAILERING & PARKING In low-speed situations, such as hitching up
to a trailer or parking, Digital Steering Assist increases power steering assist
for easier low-speed maneuverability.
WHERE THE HEAVY BEGINS.
VORTEC 6.0L V-8 It’s standard on Sierra HD for uncompromised power.
Developed for heavy-duty performance, it’s paired with a 6-speed heavy-duty
automatic transmission for maximum fifth-wheel towing of up to 14,800 lbs.
CORROSION-RESISTANT DURALIFE BRAKE ROTORS GMC engineers
used patented Ferritic Nitro-Carburizing (FNC) technology that can
help double rotor life.
FULLY BOXED FRAME The Sierra HD frame is fully boxed, with the

front segments hydroformed to minimize weight without sacrificing
strength to tackle the toughest heavy-duty demands.
EATON® HEAVY-DUTY AUTOMATIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
No other class competitor offers a fully automatic locking rear
differential for on- and off-road use.
MULTILEAF REAR SPRINGS Mounted to the rear frame are
3"-wide leaf springs that help achieve a maximum payload
rating of up to 7153 lbs.

HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL To create a quiet cab, nearly two-thirds of HD’s cab
structure is made from high-strength steel. This fortress of strength rests
on hydraulic body mounts for a smooth, comfortable ride.

INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION Sierra HD’s independent front suspension is
designed for heavy-duty punishment as well as ride comfort. With the available Snow

HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS PULL A LOT.
SIERRA HD PULLS IT OFF WITH CONFIDENCE.
Sierra HD’s new available enhanced Duramax Diesel power and integrated trailering technologies give you the confidence to control heavy loads, especially in challenging situations.
Because, at GMC, we’re not only building Professional Grade trailering machines, we’re building confidence in those who drive them.
GOOSENECK/FIFTH-WHEEL PREP PACKAGE Available on all cab and box types, this package
includes a box-mounted seven-pin trailer harness and hitch platform to fit a gooseneck
or fifth-wheel hitch for factory-installed durability.
PREMIUM TRAILERING MIRRORS The available heated, power-adjustable trailering mirrors
include segment-first LED rear guidance lamps. The lamps are integrated into each mirror
to enhance trailer visibility when backing up. Also included are amber auxiliary clearance
lamps. When equipped on All Terrain, SLT and Denali models, the mirrors include driver memory
and can also power-fold to help in car washes and other tight places.
DIESEL EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEM The available switch-activated Diesel Exhaust Brake System
offers exhaust braking capability at low engine speeds. It’s combined with the Allison 1000
transmission’s Tow/Haul mode and Automatic Grade Braking features to reduce the amount
of conventional braking needed while trailering or traveling downhill.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL Help keep both Sierra HD and your trailer heading in the same
direction, automatically. Sensors help detect a swaying trailer, and the system helps bring it
back in line by applying both the truck’s and the trailer’s brakes (when properly equipped).
