It’s perfect for adventures both on and off the road. Let’s take a closer look at the new Duramax diesel engine and the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X’s other features.

Power Meets Innovation: The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X With the 3.0L Duramax Engine

The 2024 Sierra 1500 AT4X offers a choice between two formidable engines catering to diverse driving needs. The new 3.0-L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine comes standard on this model, delivering 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. This power is sufficient for a maximum towing capacity of 8,800 pounds. Besides robust performance, the diesel engine also boasts exceptional fuel efficiency. It returns an impressive 19 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.

If you’re looking for more power, you can select the optional 6.2L V-8. It delivers a formidable 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Although it features a slightly higher tow rating of 9,000 pounds, it only gets 14 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway.

Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive with low range, enhancing its off-road capability. The Duramax proves its worth on extended highway trips with its remarkable fuel economy. This truck is ideal if you prioritize power.

Introducing the 3.0L Duramax Diesel Engine

The 2024 Sierra 1500 AT4X is equipped with a standard 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel inline-six engine. This engine provides you with all the power you need for road trips and off-road adventures while saving you money with its excellent fuel efficiency.

The Duramax engine holds its own against the optional 6.2L V-8. It yields about 7 mpg less than its V-8 counterpart, allowing you to travel further on your adventures before having to refuel. When the terrain becomes challenging, the Duramax Turbo-Diesel’s low-end power truly shines, providing the control and power you need for any off-road journey. This engine provides incredible flexibility, whether you’re climbing over boulders or cruising on the highway.
