What Does Your Truck Need to Do?

Before you begin shopping for a heavy-duty truck, think about what tasks you intend to do with it. What type of trailers to tow or loads to carry are important factors Bee Cave, TX customers should consider.

What Are You Towing?

Before you choose a GMC Sierra HD or Chevy Silverado HD truck, think about:

  • What are you towing? The GMC Sierra 3500 HD can tow over 13,000 pounds more weight than the GMC Sierra 2500 HD.
  • Loaded trailer weight?Factor in the weight of the trailer itself when determining how much you'll be able to tow.
  • Conventional, gooseneck or fifth wheel? To reach the Sierra 3500 HD's peak 36,000-pound tow rating, you'll need to use a gooseneck hitch.

Other aspects to ponder include:

  • How frequently do you tow? If you tow many times per week, you'll want a sturdier truck like a Sierra 3500 HD.
  • Do you prefer gas or diesel? Diesel trucks deliver significantly more torque for enhanced towing capability.
  • Single or dual rear wheel? The GMC Sierra 3500 HD is available with dual-rear wheels, but the Sierra 2500 HD is not. Dual rear wheels greatly increase the amount your heavy-duty truck can haul or tow.
  • Four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive? Four-wheel drive can be helpful if you often travel to job sites in challenging conditions around Pflugerville, TX.
  • Crew Cab, Double Cab, or Regular Cab? If you have a large work crew or family, Crew Cabs offer more space for six passengers.
  • Standard or Long bed? If you commonly haul longer or larger loads, a long bed is recommended.
  • Payload requirement? For the heftiest payloads, a GMC Sierra 3500 with a long bed and dual rear wheels may be necessary.

However, the Sierra HD offers two high-end luxury trims (Denali and Denali Ultimate) compared to just one for the Silverado HD (High Country).
