GMC makes a strong argument for being the top brand in purposely professional pickup trucks. At the top end of the scale, the 2024 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty lineup will be arriving at the Gord Anderson GM showroom with several captivating additions for the model year. The top-line changes include updates for the recently introduced AT4X being added to the automaker’s heavy-duty lineup.

All engines on both heavy-duty versions will be attached to a 10-speed Allison® automatic transmission. Pro and SLE trims offer an iteration of the transmission with an integrated power take-off feature.
