The GMC Sierra HD is no longer available to order with the Gooseneck Hitch Package.
The Gooseneck Hitch Package previously offered for the GMC Sierra HD is tagged with RPO code SNO, and was offered as an LPO-level option, which means it was installed when the vehicle arrived at the dealer, rather than at the factory at the time of the vehicle’s production.
The GMC Sierra HD Gooseneck Hitch Package includes a gooseneck ball and a chain tie-down kit with a case. Pricing for kit was set at $295, with customers offered the option on all trim levels of the Sierra 2500HD and Sierra 3500HD.
When equipped on the base-level Sierra, Sierra SLE, Sierra SLT, and Sierra AT4 trims, the Gooseneck Hitch Package required the addition of the Gooseneck / 5th Wheel Prep Package, which is tagged with RPO code CMT, with pricing varying between $795 and $1,365.
When equipped on the GMC Sierra HD Denali, the Gooseneck Hitch Package required the Gooseneck / 5th Wheel Prep Package (RPO Z6A), which costs $545.
The GMC Sierra HD received a complete overhaul (redesign and re-engineering) for the 2020 model year, with the latest 2021 GMC Sierra HD introducing just a few minor changes and updates for the second production year of the fourth-generation vehicle.
Engine options include the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline unit, which is rated at 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, and the 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax, which is rated at 445 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 910 pound-feet of torque at 1,600 rpm. The gasoline engine connects to a six-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel engine connects to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, the GMC Sierra HD rides on a more capable version of the GM T1 platform. The 2021 GMC Sierra HD is assembled at the GM Flint Assembly facility in Michigan and the GM Fort Wayne facility in Indiana.

This is really a bad situation in a HD pickup. Pulling trailers with a gooseneck hitch is what they are breed for. Having the ability to order it from the factory is pretty important. Doing it after the fact is certainly going to cost more than ordering it from the factory.
My heart skipped a beat as I initially thought it was the more involved factory installed ‘Gooseneck/5th wheel Prep Package’!!
IT IS ONLY THE ‘GOOSENECK HITCH PACKAGE’…… which merely consists of a ball and 2 puck-mount chain tie downs, and carrying case!
I do believe these are industry standard items, so are readily available… correct?
Yeah, if you compare, it’s identical to the CURT puck package, which is going for more than $100 less than GM’s list price on Amazon.
GM REALLY WANTS YOU TO BUY A FORD , YOU THINK THERE LEADERS BOUGHT FORD STOCK ???????????
Glad I got my 2021 HD truck when I did I got all them frills factory installed looks great came with a nice case with the ball hitch and safety chains
its a piece of garbage of a hitch system anyway, its too lose, everytime you stopped and started you hear it bang, not to mention the bearing ball that holds in the hitch gets full of dust and gets stuck, twice ive had to put it on a hoist or drive over a pit and hammer it out from underneath!! junk! aftermarket one going on next week
Ever heard of greasing before use ? Never had issues with mine always comes out easy I’ve had B&W gooseneck hitches before too ever try unlatching those when the latching mechanism is underneath getting covered in salt and mud those are worse
You can grease it all you want it still bangs and is sloppy when you are taking off or stopping. Not a good set up .
I have a 2500 on order with the entire gooseneck package. After adding the 300 dollar ball option I found out that I could get the same ball from curt for less and there are complaints about the loose fitment of it. Maybe GM discontinued it forthe right reasons.
So I feel the rattling every time you take off or stop is so annoying from the hitch . Not sure if I like the big chain hooks either . I always have used the B&W turnover ball system and loved it . So easy to turn the ball over and the chain hooks that was spring loaded fit nicely down into the bed . My thoughts would be allow the customer to order what he wants from the dealer and have it installed at the factory.
FROM THE GMC SITE:
AVAILABLE BEST-IN-CLASS
MAX TOWING AT 36,000 LBS.â€
†Requires Sierra 3500 HD Regular Cab Long Bed 2WD DRW with available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, Max Trailering Package and gooseneck hitch. Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the Trailering section of the Owner’s Manual. The weight of passengers, cargo and options or accessories may reduce the amount you can tow.
Will they adjust this statement because they do not offer a gooseneck hitch?
I wonder why they didn’t find a better hitch system? Cost? Lazy? EV-minded dolts?
Read the article and the other comments carefully, it helps you not look “lazy” and a “dolt”. The part welded to the truck is unaffected. All that’s been cancelled is an industry-standard accessory ball that’s available from multiple vendors anyway.
I called curt about the not do good fitting ball and they say it’s not there problem. That it’s the dealership that is responsible. Very frustrating
