Like a reSt Stop.

This new Sierra HD has an available 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine. Our engineers have evolved this proven powerhouse engine to offer more power and torque. It's quieter, cleaner and B20 biodiesel compatible. And, with an approximately 36-gallon tank, it has a highway range of up to 680 miles.

GMC engineers are specialists in making the big challenges seem small. This time, we’ve made trailering heavy loads up and down steep gradients far less stressful, with many braking and control innovations. Sierra HD can help make trailering a full load from Denver to Grand Junction (a beautiful 4-hour drive through the Rockies) a lot less hairy. It also has an impressive 20,000 lbs maximum fifth-wheel trailering capacity.

tHere iS an eqUaL anD overwHeLming reaction.

It’s engineered to crush heavy-duty jobs. Drop a big payload into its bed and its improved suspension will push right back up. Its maximum payload capacity is now a substantial 6335 lbs 2010 models. Its maximum Front Gross Axle Weight Rating of 6000 lbs impressive 25 percent increase with the optional Snow Plow Prep. These numbers are built on a powerful foundation. Sierra HDs have an all-new chassis design, including a high-strength, fully boxed steel frame, an increased wheelbase, a wider track and hydraulic body mounts under the cabins of the Extended Cab

Our engineers increased tank capacity to hold approximately 36 gallons of fuel on all models. This significantly increases the time between fill-ups. Just how much time? You’ll have to ask Newton.

On single rear-wheel models, this new system works with StabiliTrak to minimize trailer sway by applying vehicle and/or trailer brakes.

“Smart” ex ha u St Br aK e

This innovative new feature for diesel models varies negative torque needed based on the truck load and grade. This helps reduce brake fade, extends brake life and gives drivers plenty of confidence when hauling heavy loads downhill.

integrated trailer BraKe control

This optional factory-installed trailer brake control operates from a dashboard-mounted controller switch. It measures brake force and activates brake controllers on the trailer.

Everything is larger, stronger and lighter. The result is an improved front axle rating and snow plow capability on all 4WD Sierra HDs.

fully Boxed Steel frame

This all-new, high-strength steel frame is fully boxed front to back. We have increased frame strength by 92 percent and torsional stiffness by a factor of five.

“IF I HAVE SEEN FURTHER, IT IS BY STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS.”

In 1687, Newton wrote his three Laws of Motion. And we admit we may have bent, stretched and reinterpreted them a little. But look at the result: a tougher, stronger, smarter Sierra Heavy Duty. Of course, this is a GMC and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. There’s a law Newton can relate to.
