About the GMC Sierra 3500HD

Enter the 17-character VIN of a GMC Sierra 3500HD and the free decoder, which needs no registration, reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data holds 19 versions of this truck, with model years from 2007 to the present because it is still built, and power figures from 301 to 470 hp. Version names in our data include the GMC Sierra 3500HD III (GMT900) Regular Cab Long Box, the IV (GMTK2XX) Double Cab Long Box and the V (GMTT1XX) Crew Cab Long Bed.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a truck you are looking at, compare the VIN on the plate with the one in the registration papers, and check that the model year the decoder returns fits the year the seller quotes.
