When looking for a heavy-duty pickup, reliable engine performance, impressive towing strength, and a comfortable cabin are all important. Meet the 2023 GMC Sierra 3500: a truck that's now available here at your local GMC dealer that meets all these needs while accommodating up to six passengers and offering the following five highlights.

1. A Strong Turbo-Diesel V8

With two stunning 6.6-liter V8 engines available for this edition, a 401-horsepower gas engine and a 445-horsepower turbo-diesel variant, the turbo diesel has garnered the most attention and for good reason. In addition to having an edge when it comes to power output, this engine also provides exceptional towing strength, with a maximum capacity of 36,000 pounds, as well as the ability to haul up to 6,523 pounds in its bed.

2. Infotainment in Full Color

With the GMC Infotainment System, you have an 8-inch diagonal touchscreen display and voice-activated technology, allowing you to control entertainment options and other functions in multiple ways. With both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, you can connect smartphones wirelessly to the system to listen to music and access select apps, while both the navigation and Wi-Fi hotspot features are sure to be appreciated on long drives.

3. A Multi-Purpose Tailgate

The MultiPro Tailgate is a unique offering that makes carrying out work around the truck easier with its multiple uses. Not only does this tailgate have a retractable step for climbing in and out of the bed and when hauling longer cargo, but you can also use its multiple gating functions to secure everything. It also makes for a sturdy work surface, allowing you to get closer to the bed while performing tasks on it at a comfortable height.

4. Luxurious Seating Options

Despite being a rugged pickup, this edition provides plenty of decadent seating options, including 10-way power driver's and front passenger's seats with power lumbar support and both heating and ventilation settings. Leather trim is available throughout, as well as other fabrics in unique color combinations, including Dark Walnut with either Dark Ash Gray or Slate. For extra convenience, there's also both a 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat and a 40/20/40 split bench seat up front with an under-seat storage area.

5. Automated Headlamps

While many sophisticated safety features are available for this truck, the IntelliBeam Auto High Beams are among its most impressive. If you're driving at night and lighting conditions change on the road, this feature can toggle between your low and high beams as needed and can also briefly switch to low beams when it senses the headlights of approaching vehicles.

Combining muscular performance with advanced technology, off-road capabilities, and a first-class cabin, the 2023 Sierra 3500 aims to please everyone. We're sure you'll be even more impressed once you see all of its other features, so contact us today at Toth Buick GMC to schedule a test drive.
