The GMC Sierra HD is related to the Chevrolet Silverado HD and steers more toward comfort and luxury rather than Chevy’s work-first trucks.
There aren’t many differentiators between the two, other than the GMC Denali version.
Crosstown rivals from Ford and Ram boast similar capabilities from their trucks and have a little more polish inside.
(Particularly the Ram heavy-duty pickups.) The Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan XD aren’t in the same league as the domestic heavy-duty trucks but offer four doors and an open bed with a more reasonable price tag if you’re considering a truck as a family vehicle.

The 2021 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty pickup lineup is impressive in its capability and performance. |
Big, bold, and massively capable with gas and diesel engines, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD gets the job done. |
The ginormous 2021 Ram heavy-duty lineup reports for work, home, weekend, and hauling detail all at the same time. |
The 2020 Ford Super Duty has the towing technology and the goods to pull up to 37,000 pounds. |
The 2020 Nissan Titan full-size pickup still aims for the margins among pickup buyers, and its value falls down in top trims. |
