The 2011 GMC Sierra 3500 HD DRW is a powerful, heavy-duty truck that is both comfortable and functional. This truck is built for decades of use and comes mightily equipped with mechanical equipment like a heavy-duty, maintenance-free battery, a solid suspension package with 35mm twin shock absorbers and a front stabilizer bar, and an aluminized, stainless-steel muffler and tailpipe. You'll always have all the power you need with this trim's beastly 6.0-liter, V8 Vortec engine.
When conditions get bad, this truck keeps going. A Stabilitrak stability control system with Roll Avoidance (in the RWD models) gives you an extra measure of security while daytime running lights and dual halogen composite headlamps never fail to light the way. With a heavy-duty, 6-speed automatic, electronically-controlled transmission with overdrive and tow/haul mode this truck will never let you down.
