Getting Things Done in Style with GMC Commercial Work Trucks

GMC trucks have long been renowned for their high-end aesthetics and performance, offering sophistication inside and out. Because of this luxuriousness, people often don’t think of GMC when they’re considering work trucks for sale. To overlook GMC, though, would be to miss out on a great opportunity for a truck that does everything you need with an elegant touch.

The qualities that make GMC pickups luxurious, such as their strong powertrains, versatile bed/cab options, and infotainment tech, also make them excellent for the job site. Additionally, GMC makes trucks specially designed for the unique challenges that Georgia contractors and small business owners face. From landscaping to excavation, GMC offers the transportation solutions you need. Here’s a look at how different GMC work trucks help people get things done.

GMC Sierra 1500: A Do-It-All Work Truck

For many tasks, a light-duty pickup is more than enough to carry employees, equipment, and tools from job to job. The GMC Sierra 1500 is a utilitarian steed offering the capabilities required for many blue-collar jobs, including plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and maintenance technicians. Buyers can choose from an array of engines, including a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 and a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. They offer plenty of power and torque, and the rest of the drivetrain consists of quality components like an Allison automatic transmission and available high-capacity suspension.

These premium parts add up to remarkable work site performance for a truck of its size. In the right configuration, the Sierra 1500 has a towing capacity of over 13,000 lbs and a payload capacity of 2,240 lbs, which is more than enough for everyday technicians and contractors. You also have a choice of three bed and three cab sizes, depending on whether people or cargo is the bigger priority. Most models include a 120-volt power outlet in the truck for connecting equipment and accessories.

Owners also get to choose how much infotainment and driver assistance tech is at their disposal to help them on the job. The GMC Sierra 1500 Pro is more of a barebones work truck, offering basic modern amenities like Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and two USB ports. There is also a subscription-based WiFi hotspot to stay connected. Other trim levels offer large touchscreens, wireless device charging, advanced driver aids like trailer hitch guidance, and even GM Super Cruise for hands-free highway driving.

GMC Sierra HD: Heavy-Duty Job Site Performance

Do you need to haul heavy-duty equipment or multiple vehicles? The GMC Sierra HD lineup supersizes the Sierra so you can get serious about each job. Both the GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD offer a choice of a 6.6L gas-powered V8 or a 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8. That’s more than 400 cu.in. for old-school truckers. Each exceeds 400 hp, and the diesel power plant offers up to 975 lb-ft of torque so you can get up steep hills with a full load.

When you add the even more rugged frames and suspension on HD trucks, you get some of the best towing and payload around. The GMC Sierra 2500 HD has a maximum towing capacity of 22,500 lbs and a payload of 3,850 lbs. If you choose the GMC Sierra 3500 HD, you’re looking at 36,000 lbs of towing with the diesel engine and 7,290 lbs of payload with the gas engine. From machinery to furniture, these heavy-duty trucks can haul it all.

These trucks also have 120-volt power outlets in the bed and center console, letting you run saws, drills, laptops, and more. You can add a power take-off to redirect juice for operating auxiliary equipment. The MultiPro six-function tailgate is available on most trim levels for easy bed access, and a trailer brake controller is standard to manage all that cargo.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Chassis Cab: Customization Based on the Job

In its full loadout, a GMC Sierra HD is an impressive truck for hands-on workers. But what if you need a way to get even more done? A Sierra 3500 HD Chassis Cab is the answer. It arrives as just the cab and frame without a bed, making the area from the roof back your canvas.

There are many ways to customize a GMC chassis cab commercial truck. Add a dump bed for offloading gravel, soil, and aggregate. Create a flatbed truck so you can tow cranes, vehicles, and more without needing a trailer. Give it a utility service body with racks, shelving, and drawers for organizing supplies. Put a cargo body on your truck that fully encloses boxes, construction equipment, and more. Make the truck a spreader for evening landscape materials. Turn your chassis cab into an ambulance for rescue operations or a shuttle bus to transport students, pedestrians, and concert-goers. Own a stake body truck that merges a flatbed with removable side posts to prevent cargo from sliding off.

Many upfitting options can be ordered directly from GMC and installed at the factory. Inside the cab, you receive the same standard and available features as a regular GMC Sierra 3500 HD, including dual alternators, hill start assistance, and customizable touchscreens. With OnStar Vehicle Insights, you can manage a truck fleet and receive important travel data.

GMC Savana 3500 Cutaway: Transport and Protect Heavy Cargo

Georgia business operators who require the maximum carrying capacity and shielding against the elements will find it with the GMC Savana Cutaway Van, another customizable commercial vehicle. Like the chassis cab, this cutaway van can be transformed into an ambulance, rescue van, small bus, cargo truck, utility truck, or platform truck. Everything you need in the cab is at your fingertips, including safety assistance like forward collision alert and lane-keeping assistance.

Drive with the Confidence of a GMC Warranty

Regardless of what work truck you buy, you want to know it will last. GMC backs its work trucks with one of the leading warranties from bumper to bumper. All its new commercial and fleet vehicles have a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and offer free 24/7 roadside assistance for the same period. You also receive a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty, a six-year/100,000-mile rust-through warranty, and one free scheduled maintenance visit.

Furthermore, these warranties are transferable to a new owner, so you can buy a used GMC work truck and still have some protection in the bank. This is on top of whatever your dealership provides for used trucks, giving you even more confidence that your truck will last and that if something goes wrong, someone will make it right.
