Cars.com today announced that the 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD won the overall title in this year’s Ultimate Heavy Duty Challenge 1-ton diesel category. To earn its victory, the 3500 HD went through rigorous testing with Cars.com, PickupTrucks.com, and Mrtruck.com, along with its competitors, the Ford F-350 and the Ram 3500.
“Our judges hugely appreciated the all-new interior and infotainment interface and 8-inch navigation screen,” said Mark Williams, editor at PickupTrucks.com. “In the end, the GMC was the best all-around player of our competitors.”

The 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD reportedly did quite well in vehicle control while towing and required absolutely no brake pedal depressions during a 7.2-mile descent in Colorado, from the Eisenhower Pass, which features 7 percent grades. The other two trucks did not compare. In fact, the Sierra 3500 HD also led in 0-60 mph time on the Milan drag strip, fuel economy while trailering in Michigan, and 60-0 braking distance at Milford Proving Ground.
