Sierra heavy-duties are offered in a range of 2500HD (three-quarter-ton) and 3500HD (one-ton) models and are available in WT, SLE and SLT trim. The range of configurations – three cab styles, three cargo box styles and five wheelbase lengths – delivers tremendous choice.

Some full-size truck manufacturers do not even offer three-quarter-ton or one-ton heavy-duty trucks. And among those that do, the used GMC Sierra 2500HD for sale in Guelph offer many segment-best capabilities, including 18,500-pound (8,392 kg) gross combined vehicle weight rating for vehicles with a gas V-8 and a 13,000-pound (5,897 kg) conventional trailer weight rating enabled by a larger-capacity trailer hitch platform. Maximum towing capacity is 16,700 pounds (7,575 kg), when equipped with a fifth-wheel hitch.

2008 GMC Sierra 2500 For Sale In Guelph

Sierra models in 2008 receive new, larger 17-inch wheels (replacing 16-inch wheels), which are available with bright wheel covers. Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD are offered in regular, extended and crew cab configurations, which are complemented with standard (6-foot 6-inch) and long (8-foot) cargo box lengths.

The GMC Sierra 2500HD at Wilson’s Better Used Cars, and the 3500HD are quieter, more spacious and refined inside, with increased passenger comfort and storage space. Each features two distinct interior designs that reflect their respective brand identities, including specific trim, appointments and gauge cluster appearance.

Base- and midlevel-trim models include a functional pure pickup interior design theme with a contemporary adaptation of GM’s ergonomic cockpit instrument panel design. In addition, this interior includes specific door panels with large door pull and release handles, as well as unique seat configurations; center console and underseat storage systems. It also includes two glove boxes (a traditional lower glove box and a covered upper storage compartment).

Powertrain

The standard engine is a 6.0L gas V-8 with variable valve timing. It is rated at a best-in-class 353 horsepower (263 kW) and 373 lb.-ft. of torque (506 Nm)* on single rear-wheel configurations (up to 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating). Variable valve timing helps improve performance and fuel economy.

A Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic transmission is paired with the engine. This powertrain combination offers a higher maximum gross combined weight rating (GCWR) – 18,500 pounds (8,392 kg) – than previous gas-powered combinations and is the segment leader for vehicles with a V-8 gas engine. The 6L90 has a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio – including two overdrive gears – that helps deliver an excellent balance of performance and fuel economy. It also offers manual range selection and tap up/tap down control.

A cleaner, more powerful Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel engine is available. It continues to lead the segment in power and torque, with power ratings of 365 horsepower (272 kW) and 660 lb.-ft. of torque (895 Nm).

Upgrades to the engine introduced in ’07 include a diesel particulate filter system that helps provide a 90-percent reduction in particulate matter and a 50-percent reduction in NOx (compared with pre-2007 standards).

Safety

The Sierra 2500, available at your top rated Guelph Used Car dealer, is designed to help drivers avoid crashes and protect passengers in the event one occurs. The robust ladder frame and strong body structure provide occupant protection.

The frame is designed with crush zones that crumple to absorb crash energy, while the body structure incorporates the strategic use of high-strength steel and structural adhesives designed to help maintain passenger compartment integrity and manage energy in a crash.
