Towing Capacity, Payload, and Bed Options

The Sierra is built for towing. Depending on the model, the Sierra can handle impressive payload and towing capacities, with the 3500 offering the highest capacity at over 36,000 lbs when properly equipped. Available options include:

• Dually Setup: For maximum towing capacity, the dually configuration adds dual rear wheels for enhanced stability.
• Bed Lengths: Choose from short, standard, or long bed lengths depending on your needs for cargo space.
• Cab Options: Crew Cab, Double Cab, and Regular Cab options to provide the right amount of space for passengers and gear.

Diesel vs Gas: Which is Better for Your Sierra?

When considering whether to go with a diesel or gas-powered Sierra, it comes down to your needs. Diesel engines offer higher torque and better towing capabilities, especially on the 2500 and 3500 models. They also tend to have better fuel economy when towing. Gas engines, on the other hand, are generally less expensive upfront and are better suited for daily driving with good towing power.
