What makes the 2026 Sierra 2500HD the heavy-duty champion in Bowling Green?
Looking for a truck that handles Kentucky jobsites and weekend hauls without breaking a sweat? The 2026 GMC Sierra 2500HD at Leachman Buick GMC brings professional-grade capability right to Scottsville Road. Choose the standard 401-hp 6.6L V8 or the available Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel cranking out 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic, this one-ton truck makes towing heavy loads feel controlled and confident. Whether you're hauling equipment near Nashville or pulling a camper through the hills, the Sierra HD delivers.
Seven trims from Pro to Denali Ultimate let you customize the perfect work-and-luxury balance. You'll find class-leading torque and smart trailering tech that makes a real difference when you're backing a trailer into a tight spot downtown.
Does the Sierra 2500HD look as tough as it works?
Absolutely. The boxy grille, bold LED lighting, and assertive stance turn heads from Bowling Green to Franklin. Each trim level gets unique styling cues: AT4 adds off-road flair, Denali features chrome accents and luxury touches. Inside, you can opt for full-grain leather, contrast stitching, and even massaging front seats on Denali Ultimate. The available MultiPro tailgate with six functions makes loading gear a breeze. And the CarbonPro carbon fiber bed (available on select models) resists dents and scratches better than steel. This is a truck that looks just as good parked at a job site as it does at a supper club.
