What’s new on the 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD?
Technology
The available 13.4-inch diagonal tablet-style touchscreen serves as the cabin’s information hub, supporting split-screen operation for simultaneous app use. Google built-in integration comes standard on trims above Pro, connecting navigation, voice commands, and various applications when paired with a data plan. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility allows smartphone integration without physical cables. The available 15-inch diagonal head-up display and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster combine with the central screen to create over 40 inches of digital display area.
The ProGrade Trailering System addresses the specific challenges of pulling heavy loads with up to 14 available camera views. Enhanced Transparent Trailer View works with gooseneck and fifth-wheel setups, using cameras mounted on the truck and trailer to display the area behind as if the trailer were not present. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert extends monitoring to cover areas alongside the trailer. The available Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering accounts for additional drag and increased braking distances when towing. Standard driver assistance features include Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking.
Exterior
The Sierra 2500HD presents a substantial visual profile that communicates its work-ready purpose. Up front, the bold grille design anchors a face that incorporates animated lighting sequences activated when approaching or starting the vehicle. Each trim level receives distinct fascia and grille treatments, allowing buyers to select the aesthetic that matches their preferences. The truck’s proportions reflect its heavy-duty mission, with a wide stance and elevated ride height providing the ground clearance needed for uneven terrain around North Battleford’s rural properties and work sites.
Depending on configuration, the 2500HD measures up to 6,776 mm in overall length with the Crew Cab Long Bed arrangement. Wheel options range from 17-inch steel units to available 22-inch aluminum designs on select trims. Ground clearance varies by configuration, reaching approximately 261 mm on Denali and Denali Ultimate Crew Cab models. New for 2026, the Glacier White Tricoat and Coastal Dune paint options join the existing colour palette, while rear wheelhouse liners come standard on Denali and Denali Ultimate Dual Rear Wheel configurations.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the Sierra 2500HD prioritizes both functionality and comfort for drivers spending long hours behind the wheel. The instrument panel layout places controls within easy reach, while available premium materials elevate the environment beyond typical work truck expectations. Storage compartments throughout the cabin accommodate paperwork, tools, and personal items. The Crew Cab configuration delivers 1,131 mm of front legroom and 1,102 mm for rear passengers, ensuring adequate space for work crews travelling between job sites.
The Denali Ultimate trim reaches a particularly refined level, featuring full-grain leather appointments, open-pore Paldao wood accents, and 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage functionality. A premium microsuede headliner extends across visors and pillar trim, while a 12-speaker Bose audio system provides quality sound. Even work-focused trims receive thoughtful interior updates, with unique designs distinguishing SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali variants. Heated and ventilated seating options help manage Saskatchewan’s temperature extremes across all seasons.
Engine and Powertrain
The standard 6.6L V-8 gasoline engine produces 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine pairs with the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, which replaced the previous six-speed unit to keep the engine operating closer to peak power during demanding tasks. The smaller gear steps translate to more confident acceleration whether hauling equipment across the prairies or pulling an empty trailer back to the yard. E85 FlexFuel compatibility adds fueling flexibility where available.
For operators requiring maximum pulling capability, the available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V-8 delivers 470 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 975 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. Low-end torque production improved substantially over earlier generations, providing stronger response when accelerating from stops with heavy loads. The diesel pairs with the same Allison 10-speed automatic. Both 2WD and 4WD configurations are offered, with the 4WD system addressing the traction challenges of Saskatchewan’s variable road conditions throughout the year.
The 2026 Sierra 2500HD lineup spans Pro, SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims, with AT4X offering enhanced off-road capability. The Pro trim establishes a capable foundation for commercial and fleet applications. SLE and SLT add convenience features and interior refinements, with SLT now gaining MultiPro Tailgate availability. The AT4 brings off-road-focused equipment including specific suspension tuning. Denali models introduce premium interior appointments and the distinctive Vader chrome grille treatment. At the top, Denali Ultimate adds exclusive 20-inch Ultra-bright machined aluminum wheels, Alpine Umber full-grain leather interior, power sunroof, and the six-way MultiPro Tailgate with integrated Kicker audio. Cab configurations include Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab, with standard and long bed options varying by cab style.
