More Standard Power Than Ford F-250

The GMC Sierra 2500 HD starts strong with a standard 6.6-liter gasoline eight-cylinder engine producing 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. Compared to the standard engine offered in the Ford F-250, the Sierra delivers more horsepower right from the start, giving drivers stronger acceleration and confident performance whether towing or hauling.

For drivers who need even greater capability, the available 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 generates 470 horsepower and an incredible 975 pound-feet of torque. That gives the Sierra outstanding pulling power for large trailers, equipment, and heavy cargo.

Allison 10-Speed Automatic Transmission

Every Sierra 2500 HD engine pairs with the renowned Allison 10-speed automatic transmission. Designed to deliver smooth power under demanding conditions, this transmission provides responsive shifting while helping maximize towing confidence and everyday drivability.

Whether you're climbing steep grades or pulling heavy loads on the highway, the Allison transmission helps maintain consistent performance and efficient power delivery.

Trailering Technology That Leads the Segment
