Is the Duramax diesel reliable?
The L5P Duramax is regarded as one of the stronger modern HD diesels, and the Allison automatic behind it is well proven. Keep the emissions system maintained and it holds up well.
Should I choose the gas 6.6 or the Duramax?
The 6.6-litre L8T gas V8 is simpler and cheaper to run day to day; the Duramax offers far more torque for heavy towing. Choose by how hard you will tow.
Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
How is import VAT treated when importing a GMC Sierra 2500HD?
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
What is the MultiPro tailgate?

Can it be registered in Germany?
Yes, after individual approval and the usual lighting and instrumentation modifications, though its size affects everyday use.
How is it shipped?
Large trucks are commonly shipped RoRo to a European port; container shipping is also possible depending on configuration.
