This truck was in pristine condition, exactly what I was after in a vehicle. I passed on it because the asking price was pretty much what it was worth new in 2015. I have a hard time paying that kind of money for a 11 year old truck.

Besides the bells and whistles we grabbed this dually because we pull a toy hauler. We went from a sturdy 2500 Dodge Ram to this beauty. We choose the dually 3500 due to the pulling capacity and payload as toy haulers are heavier in front to compensate for the weight that you can put in the back. We have no issues pulling it now and the truck does not squat because the support of the 4 tires. Other friends have regular 3500 and still have issues with the payload and had to put in more money into their vehicle to beef up the suspension when pulling a toy hauler because the payload is less. YOU WONT REGRET BUYING ONE!

Why it stands out
The 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD stands out as a heavy-duty truck that still leaned hard into work-truck capability while offering enough refinement to feel more upscale than its roots might suggest. In this generation, GMC had already moved the Sierra 3500HD toward a more polished cabin and a broader range of trims, but the truck still kept its core identity centered on towing and hauling. For buyers who wanted a serious one-ton pickup with a more premium edge, that combination is a big part of its appeal.
For 2018, the Sierra 3500HD came with a rearview camera as standard equipment, and the infotainment update also reached the supporting trims. The Denali trim gained a more stylish grille, which helped reinforce the truck’s more luxurious side. The lineup still offered a wide range of body styles and powertrains, including a gasoline V8 and a turbodiesel V8, and the diesel remained the stronger choice for maximum capability. Properly equipped, the truck could haul up to 7,374 pounds of payload and tow up to 23,200 pounds with a fifth-wheel hitch.
There are tradeoffs, though. Even in this year, the Sierra 3500HD was still a large, heavy-duty pickup, so it was not the easiest vehicle to live with in tight spaces. It also carried the baggage of a generation that had seen recall issues over time. Still, for shoppers who wanted a capable truck with strong towing numbers, available luxury touches, and a more refined feel than a bare-bones workhorse, the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD had a clear identity.
