How It Drives
GMC Sierra 2500HDs since 2020 have a gasoline 6.6-liter V8 making 401 horsepower and 464 lb ft of torque for impressive unladen acceleration. Stepping up to the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel dramatically boosts torque to 910 lb ft for effortless towing, albeit at a price premium. The ride becomes bouncy when the truck is unloaded but settles down with a hefty trailer in tow or a large load in the cargo bed. An available AT4 Off-Road Package adds skid plates, twin-tube shocks, and all-terrain tires for enhanced capability.
Safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has evaluated only the fourth-generation GMC Sierra 2500HD. It received a four out of five overall safety rating. Newer models have yet to be tested.
Reviews
GMC Sierra 2500HD owners on Kelley Blue Book rate the third and fourth generations an average of 4.6-4.7 out of 5. These trucks' strongest traits include reliability and performance. The score for the fifth generation dropped to 4.3, but it received high ratings for performance, comfort, and styling.

With a nearly 20-inch longer wheelbase, 3-inch taller height and up to 1,400 pounds of additional curb weight depending on configuration, the Sierra 2500 casts a significantly larger exterior shadow than the 1500, even when both have a crew cab configuration.
