Meet the 2023 GMC Sierra 2500

Mighty Powertrain Options

When a 6.6-liter V8 comes standard with the HD, you’ll never want to take your foot off the accelerator. The gas-powered engine offers drivers 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, and you can enjoy it with a six-speed automatic transmission. Those who find themselves towing more often than not should opt for the Duramax Turbo-Diesel 6.6-liter V8 engine, which pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and boasts a mammoth 910 pound-feet of torque.

A Car Made for Towing

Speaking of towing, opt for the diesel V8 and bag yourself 18,500 pounds of towing capacity on both the standard and long box crew cabs. The long crew cab will see you get an extra bit of payload, coming in at 3,597 pounds instead of the standard cab’s 3,563 pounds. The standard gas engine will still see you towing a maximum of 14,500 pounds and enjoying a 3,862-pound payload capacity on the long box.

Enhance your towing experience with the Sierra’s many available features, including Live-axle suspension that uses clever rear springs to balance your payload and assist in your driving experience. If you’re driving with the V8, you’ll love the Diesel After-Run feature that works to quickly cool down your engine after a particularly hard drive. Hitch View helps you position yourself as you back up to your trailer hitch, while Park Grade automatically applies brakes while you’re trailering.

Built Tough, and Looks Tough Too

From practical features like standard LED headlamps, to rugged flourishes like aluminum wheels, the Sierra deftly shows itself off as a pickup that’s not to be messed with. Available 20-inch all-terrain tires look and work brilliantly, while the Off-Road package gets you some robust skid plates. Inside, the AT4 trim has an exclusive Athletic Interior that you’ll never want to leave, while the SLT offers an impressive Premium GMC Infotainment System.

When it comes to absolute muscle, the 2023 Sierra is unbeatable. You’d be hard-pressed to find a pickup more suited to a life on the open road, trailering and towing as it plows across all kinds of terrains. Ready to take one for a test drive? Come by Mansfield GMC in Mansfield, OH, today.
