Mequon area shoppers looking for a performance-driven and ultra-capable pickup truck are sure to consider the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, but does the model feature a diesel engine?
Each 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 trim features a standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine except for the Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate, which boasts a 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine. Mequon shoppers may upgrade to the diesel engine on other Sierra 2500 models, though the Denali Ultimate is the only trim to have it as standard.
A Closer Look at the 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8
When it comes to diesel engines, you know you’re getting an unrivaled combination of durability and power. Durability and power are just the beginning with GMC, as the brand’s Professional-Grade Duramax Diesel engines provide capability without compromise.
The GMC Sierra Heavy Duty (HD) has long been known for its incredible performance, including its fantastic towing capacity. The 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8 engine is paired with the 10-speed Allison automatic transmission, delivering an impressive 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.
GMC’s professional-grade engineering allows this powerful engine to perform more efficiently by optimizing the cooling capacity with a larger radiator and fan. The dual-path intake system utilizes dense and cool air through the hood scoop and larger grille to enhance performance even further.
In order to help maintain optimal operating temperatures, Sierra Heavy Duty models equipped with the available Duramax Turbo-Diesel have an integrated engine after-run cooling function, which can continue to idle the engine after extended and exhaustive periods of use. This allows vital components under the hood to properly cool down.
