The truck class of the vehicle market is typically split into three major classes. There are light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty pickup trucks available to drivers. Enter the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500, a powerful truck that deserves a class of its own and is shaking up the vehicle market status quo as we know it. With its superior cargo space, formidable towing capabilities, and countless available customizable add-ons, this titan of the industry will never leave you wanting more power.
The Build Behind the Power
The Sierra 2500 heavy-duty (HD) comes ready for action with a 6.6-liter V8 engine. The truck runs on the power of 401 horses and offers 464 pound-per-feet of torque. The engine is fitted with a six-speed HD automatic transmission that optimizes the drive with a built-in gear for overdrive. The transmission boasts Tow Mode and Auto Grade Braking functions that work to reduce strain on the brakes when traveling downhill with a heavy haul.
Fans of the Sierra 2500 revere the truck for its smooth drive. That’s why GMC specifically designed the included suspension package to maintain that admirable drive even when hauling a hefty load. Since heavy towing can make the engine heat up, the Sierra 2500 has two implemented cooling systems. The external auxiliary cooler has the purpose of keeping the transmission at optimal performance while towing, and the external engine cooler will discourage the oil from burning up too quickly.

Hitch Guidance
The “HD” in Sierra 2500 HD could also stand for high-definition, as that’s the video quality the Hitch Guidance camera uses. The included Rear Vision Camera will display helpful guidelines when you put your truck in reverse to assist you in lining up perfectly with your trailer. While you’re driving, you can also periodically check on your trailer using the display screen located on your dashboard. You can also use this camera for perfect parking every time.
Available Packages
The Driver Alert Package is an excellent choice for the safety-conscious driver. It includes valuable programs such as Blind Zone, Lane Changing, and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts. The Sierra 2500 has two available Gooseneck packages that add on a trailer brake controller, a gooseneck ball, and a tiedown kit.
The Convenience Package is ideal for those who want a little more luxury in their life. Some features of this package include the Remote Keyless Entry system, the EZ Lift tailgate, and LED lighting for the cargo bed.
