The 2024 Sierra 2500 Arrives with More Power and Exciting New Features

Every year brings a new model of the famed GMC pickup: the GMC Sierra 2500. Some years, there are just a few new touches, while other years bring substantial changes that add more power, capability, and glamor to the truck. We have the GMC 2500 for sale here at Victory GMC, and we can tell there’s much more to be excited about this year. The Sierra’s receiving updates both large and small that will make driving around Victoria and all of Texas more enjoyable than ever before. Everyone here has been reviewing the specs, and after taking this truck for a test drive, we can safely say we’re impressed. We know that all of our customers will be thrilled with what the 2024 model has to offer.

For years, the Sierra 2500 has been an impressive pickup that lets drivers tow an incredible amount and stack a lot into the pickup bed. The GMC Sierra is famed for offering a slew of different cabs and bed sizes so that each driver’s pickup feels unique to their needs and tastes. Laborers love how it lets them excel at work, constantly beating out the competition. Families adore how the Sierra 2500 opens up vacation opportunities since they can now take so much more luggage or gear to make camping trips last forever. And the average commuter? Well, they get to enjoy being behind the wheel of a commanding, imposing truck. Who wouldn’t?

Without further delay, let’s look at the GMC Sierra’s 2024 upgrades so you know why this truck should be your next buy.

The Diesel Engine is More Powerful Than Ever

For pickup truck drivers, there’s little more exciting than checking out the performance numbers of their favorite trucks when a new model is announced. While there’s no question the Sierra 2500 has always been a powerhouse, this year, its available diesel engine is cranking out some genuinely eye-popping numbers. With the same 10-speed automatic transmission you know and love, the available 6.6-liter Duramax-Turbo Diesel V8 engine provides a staggering 470 hp and 975 lbs of torque. What does that translate to? 

High horsepower and torque give you more propulsion when you have to take off from a standstill, so when you need to get onto the highway because you’re taking a trip to San Antonio or Corpus Christi, you’re going to be very satisfied with the acceleration the Sierra 2500 is capable of giving you. These stats also assure that you’ll be able to travel at high speeds without difficulty. It’ll never feel like your truck is struggling to keep pace with your desired speed, nor will the ride feel awkward, as if the engine is coughing as it tries to meet your need for speed.

The best, though? These numbers mean towing is better than ever. When properly equipped with the Duramax diesel engine and the available Max Trailering Package, the Sierra 2500 can tow up to 22,430 lbs. As a point of comparison, that’s almost three times the weight of the Sierra 2500 itself. You will be able to tow the heaviest machinery out to your work site or tow the boat of your dreams down to the Gulf so you can have a nautical adventure.

10-Speed Automatic Transmission Available on Gas Engines

It used to be the case that you had to invest in the 6.6-liter Duramax-Turbo Diesel V8 engine to enjoy a 10-speed transmission. That’s no longer the case with the 2024 Sierra 2500, as the 6.6-liter V8 gas engine now offers the same! The benefits of the 10-speed automatic transmission are many. Your gears will change far faster to keep up with changing conditions on the road, which is a benefit when traveling around Texas, where both road and weather conditions can change with a moment’s notice. You’ll feel you have better command of the road or off-road. The 10-speed transmission lets you get more out of the torque, too, so your power is better.

What we’ve noticed our customers really love, though, is that this better transmission system results in better fuel efficiency. Trucks can swallow a lot of gas, but a transmission with more gears helps to optimize engine performance and offset that consumption. Anything that helps with fuel efficiency is a massive bonus. Your visits to the pump will be a little less often when your transmission is this effective.

The Denali Ultimate Trim is All New

The Sierra 2500 glides into its new model year with a novel Denali Ultimate trim. It takes luxury and style to the next level with a jaw-dropping suite of convenience features and a stylish look to boot.

For the exterior, the Denali Ultimate trim will reward you with a Signature Vader Chrome Grille that makes certain the front of your pickup truck is intimidating, whether it’s in park or rocketing down the highway. Add to that the 20-inch Ultra-Bright machined aluminum wheels with gloss-black inserts, and absolutely no one will miss you coming down the road. For anyone who wants to be the envy of the highway, the Denali Ultimate trim is a no-brainer.

It might not seem possible, but with the Denali Ultimate trim, your truck’s interior may be even more beautiful than the already gorgeous exterior. The front seats receive leather stitching that will immediately impress your passengers. The door panels are leather-wrapped, too, so when your passenger shuts their door, they’ll have more to be awed by. The front seats are heated and cooled; for us here in Texas, the latter will be a true gift for those scorching summer mornings. There’s more fun to be had with the front seats, though: they are 10-way power adjustable and have a massage feature. This way, if you and your passenger have a long trip across Texas on the agenda, you won’t feel uncomfortable. You’ve got some other standard features like a heated steering wheel, remote start system, wireless charging pad, adaptive cruise control system, a heads-up display, and programmable universal home remote. You may, in fact, not even want to leave your truck when you arrive at your destination.

Some Additional Upgrades Slip In, Too

The front headlights are now LED, which means you can cut through the fog easily and see better what’s on the road in front of you. The tail lights also feature sequential turn signals, a throwback to turn signals from decades ago that results in yet another aspect of your truck that’ll get you noticed.

The other trims of the Sierra 2500 also receive some new touches that are sure to excite. For instance, the AT4X off-road trim gives you improved off-roading abilities if you’re someone who likes to drive across dirt, sand, or mud. With this year’s model, you’ll have more substantial steel bumpers and better skid plates to protect your truck from the damage rough terrain might otherwise cause.
