2021 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty

The Sierra HD comes standard with a gas-powered 6.6-liter V-8 that generates 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive. The optional Duramax diesel 6.6-liter V-8 cranks out 445 ponies and 910 lb-ft of twist, and it works through an Allison 10-speed automatic. You can also specify either a single- or dual-rear-wheel axle (known as a "dually"). While we've only driven the diesel variant, we did sample the gas-burning powertrain on the internally identical Silverado 2500HD and appreciated its dutiful behavior. However, there's no arguing that the Duramax/Allison combination is a highlight of the heavy-duty Sierra, and it's a no-brainer for those who regularly tow substantial loads. The engine is surprisingly refined, and the transmission is very responsive. Together they helped the 2500HD Denali we tested achieve impressively quick acceleration times. The gigantic GMC also has an agreeable ride quality for its breed. Though its steering is vague at highway speeds the Sierra nonetheless feels more agile than its heavy-duty competitors. The trail-ready AT4 model is a more-rugged take on the commonly chrome-riddled rig, with an off-road suspension and a locking rear differential to go with its otherwise blacked-out aesthetic.

The strongest Sierra 3500HD can carry 7442 pounds in its cargo bed and pull as much as 35,500 pounds. However, those massive capacities require the diesel engine, regular cab, rear-wheel drive, and dual-rear-wheel axle. The Sierra 2500HD is only offered with a single-rear-wheel axle, and its burliest version is good for 3979 pounds of payload and 18,500 pounds of towing.

We'd start with start with the crew can and choose the standard bed on the Sierra 2500HD. We'd steer clear of the rugged AT4 and chrome-laden Denali models despite their enhanced appearance. Instead, we'd recommend picking the SLT trim level and adding four-wheel drive and the Duramax diesel V-8. The SLT comes standard with GMC's versatile MultiPro tailgate, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, power-adjustable front seats, and remote start. It also unlocks more options than the lesser SLE trim. We'd pick the SLT Convenience package that includes front bucket seats with ventilated cushions, heated rear seats, and a power-sliding rear window. The Driver Alert packages are also worth adding because they make the behemoth easier to live with thanks to assists such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and front and rear parking sensors.

For 2021, the heavy-duty Sierra receives a host of new or improved trailer-assistance features. There's a new jack-knife alert that does what its name suggests and a trailer-length indicator that lets the driver know when nearby traffic might interfere with a connected trailer. The Multipro tailgate is now standard on the SLE trim level and there are three new paint colors. The Denali adds a newly standard high-definition 360-degree camera and a bed-view camera as well as a new Diamond Edition. The latter wears exclusive black 20-inch wheels and power-retractable running boards. Finally, the off-road-oriented AT4 is now available with mud-terrain tires and a high-clearance step accessory.
