* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  GMC trucks are known for their durability. The 3500HD is a workhorse that generally holds up well to demanding use.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Routine maintenance is straightforward, but parts for heavy-duty trucks can be more expensive than for lighter vehicles.
• Technology (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Technology features are basic, focusing on essential functions. Expect simple infotainment and limited driver aids.
• Comfort (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The Work Truck trim prioritizes utility over luxury. Seats are functional, but ride quality can be stiff, especially when unloaded.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The 3500HD is built for work, not agility. It handles heavy loads well but can feel cumbersome in everyday driving.
