Is GMC updating the Sierra in 2025?
Yes, the Sierra HD saw some updates. There are a few features that now come standard either across the entire lineup, or are now standard on a lower trim level. The feature now standard across the lineup is a trailer-brake controller. This makes it easier for you to remain in control at all times.
The next feature that you can find that is available at a lower level is the Adaptive cruise control with trailering assist. It was available on the upgraded Denali and AT4 trims, but is now available on the base variants as well.
What are the 2025 GMC Sierra HD specs?
The max towing capacities of both HD variants is pretty strong for a heavy duty truck. A properly equipped Sierra 3500 can tow a staggering 36,000-pounds. While the 2500 when properly equipped can tow 22,500-pounds. While the 2500 isn’t as much, it’s still more than capable.
