Excellent value The only thing that's missing is a sunroof and this is comparable to a Ford F-350

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 2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD stands out as a heavy-duty truck that blends serious work capability with a more upscale personality than many buyers expect from a one-ton pickup. It traces its appeal to the Sierra line’s “commercial grade” character, but the modern truck also leans into refinement, especially in its higher trims. For shoppers who need a truck that can do real towing and hauling while still offering a more polished cabin and available luxury features, that combination is a major part of its identity.
For 2024, the Sierra 3500HD received a slight styling refresh that updated the front fascia and headlights. The turbodiesel also gained more output, rising to 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. A larger 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument panel were added to the SLE trim and above, and trailering tech expanded with enhanced adaptive cruise control, a weight limit monitor, and a transparent trailer camera view. The lineup also included the new Denali Ultimate trim, which became the top model and added features such as power-retracting running boards, adaptive cruise control, cooled and massaging front seats, a digital rearview mirror, and a sunroof.
Even with those upgrades, the Sierra 3500HD remains a truck with clear tradeoffs. It is described as unwieldy in parking lots, and top trims can be prohibitively expensive. Fuel economy is also not a strength, with the gasoline V8 expected to return only between 10 and 15 mpg, while the turbodiesel should improve those figures by two or three mpg. Still, for buyers focused on capability, available technology, and a more refined heavy-duty experience, the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD has a strong and distinctive appeal.
