The difference in between 3500 model of Sierra and 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 Heavy Duty is similar with the difference between Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500, for example. Usual the higher model, like 3500 is, has a little touch of luxury and feeling of the higher level of features. The rear end of Sierra is a little wider than the front end, where a chromed frontal fascia and high-density mesh grille are. The platform and body are the same as on the last model, but there will be three trim versions – Regular Cab, Double Cab and Crew Cab as on the last model, too, with the small changes in the front grille, with lighting and other details.
