Baker GMC Hudsonville - What to Know About the 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
The 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD brings heavy-duty strength together with modern refinement, making it a smart choice for contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs confident capability all week and weekend long. It builds on proven hardware with thoughtful updates, intuitive technology, and an interior that balances durability with comfort. Whether the day calls for towing equipment, hauling materials, or heading out with a camper, the Sierra 2500 HD is engineered to step up without breaking a sweat.
Under the hood, available gas and Duramax diesel V8 engines pair with a 10-speed automatic to deliver smooth, predictable power. Advanced trailering tools simplify setup, help with hitching, and provide added awareness when rolling down the highway. The ride is composed for a heavy-duty platform, and the cab layout is ergonomic, with large, easy-to-use controls and a crisp infotainment interface. GMC’s clever MultiPro tailgate and bed utility features make loading, unloading, and organizing gear more efficient, so every stop is quicker and every task feels easier.
- Powertrains: Choose between a hardworking gas V8 or a torque-rich Duramax diesel, both mated to a refined 10-speed automatic.
- Trailering tech: ProGrade Trailering, in-vehicle checklists, and a multi-view camera system support confident towing and easier maneuvers.
- Bed and tailgate: The MultiPro tailgate, integrated steps, tie-downs, and available power outlets turn the box into a versatile workspace.

Trim configuration is straightforward—select the capability foundation you need, then tailor comfort and tech. From practical, ready-to-work models to premium trims with upscale materials, the Sierra 2500 HD lineup offers flexibility for jobsite demands and family duty alike. Cab choices range from a focused regular cab to a spacious crew cab, and bed lengths accommodate everything from toolboxes to long equipment. Four-wheel drive and specialized packages extend utility in challenging weather, on unpaved access roads, and at remote campsites.
