“With its powerful, best-in-class diesel engine, the new Sierra HD models lead the segment in towing and hauling capabilities, a key consideration for customers in this demanding segment,” said Santo Giardina, truck marketing manager in Canada. “Whether used for the toughest of work requirements or for recreational towing or trailering, GMC HD customers will appreciate the impressive combination of leading utility and premium features.”

The 2011 Sierra HD lineup has expanded to include eleven 2500HD models and eight single- and dual-rear-wheel 3500HD models offered in WT, SLE and SLT trim levels. A new and larger 136 litre (36-gallon) fuel tank is standard on all models.
