The original Hummer was an imposing vehicle with an enormous footprint.  There was no mistaking its military heritage and its thirst for fossil fuel.  Subtle?  The Hummer was not subtle, but it was fun. By now you have probably had a chance to see the new 2022 GMC Hummer EV during the televised introduction. That was fun too.  It also told us a lot about the GMC approach to electric vehicles.  Mainly, we learned that GMC does not make boring electric vehicles. You know what I am talking about.  Just think of the weird style employed by most all electric vehicles.  Compare the front fascia of that kind of vehicle to what GMC placed on television. The new 2022 Hummer EV has already sold out but we all knew it would.  The larger point lies in the GMC approach to all electric vehicles.  Clearly, style is important.  Which leads to the interior of the 2022 Hummer EV. more The new Hummer EV could have had the same lack-luster interior look of some other all electrics selling for around the same price.  That is not what happened.  The interior of the new Hummer maintains the ninety-degree angles of the original but in a refined way.  Minimalist is not a word you could apply to the 2022 GMC Hummer EV.  It is advanced design employed to make you feel at home with this vehicle. GMC designed the speaker grills to include a stylized map of the sea of Tranquility.  The place where Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon.  Another nice touch and tip of the hat to American technological achievement.  Which is what the Hummer EV happens to be a part of now. The future is coming into focus and thanks to GMC and vehicles like the Hummer EV, the future will be loaded with style.

First introduced in 2019, the GMC Sierra MultiPro tailgate offers enhanced usability, flexibility, and functionality via six different configurable positions which allows for seven ways to use it.  The MultiPro tailgate received rave reviews when introduced and immediate acceptance from truck buyers. Two in One The MultiPro tailgate is essentially two tailgates in one.  The design consists of a primary gate which functions like a conventional tailgate.  A smaller, inner gate is hinged within the primary gate.  Raising and lowering the two tailgate panels in different combinations allows the MultiPro tailgate to perform multiple functions. Strong and Dependable Above all else, Sierra’s MultiPro is designed to be a strong, durable and useful tool. As such, GMC engineers focused on not only designing the tailgate according to truck owner input in order to maximize its functionality and convenience, but also designed it to be strong and dependable, no matter how it’s used. Seven Smart Ways to Use the MultiPro Tailgate 1.) The GMC Sierra MultiPro can open and close just like any other conventional tailgate.  By pressing a release button on the tailgate, itself, a button on the instrument panel, or a button on the remote key fob, MultiPro lowers and opens exactly like a traditional tailgate.  MultiPro is equipped with both a torsional spring and a damper, which allow the tailgate to be easily raised and smoothly lowered. 2.) If you’re hauling longer items – say, sheets of plywood, or perhaps a paddleboard or two – MultiPro’s load stop feature helps prevent items from sliding out of the box. The inside panel within the inner gate can be unlatched and folded upright, providing a vertical barrier for longer items. more 3.) Lowering Sierra’s MultiPro’s inner gate while the primary gate is also lowered effectively allows you to stand nearly 7-9" closer to the pickup box floor than with a conventional tailgate.  Perfect for reaching further into Sierra’s cargo box, or for loading and unloading bulky or heavy items. 4.) While Sierra’s standard CornerStep rear bumper eases entry and egress into the cargo bed, MultiPro goes a step further. When the primary and inner gates are both released and lowered, the inner panel can be unlatched from the inner gate and folded down, creating a 48" wide step, which is rated for 375 pounds. Additionally, a hand grab can be folded out from the cargo box wall and locked in place, further assisting in entry and egress. 5.) Sierra’s cargo boxes feature a two-tier loading design, which allow owners to insert a platform, possibly a plywood sheet, to separate items within the bed.  MultiPro extends that versatility by also providing a load stop for longer items placed into the upper tier of storage. Simply lower the inner gate panel and unfold the inside panel to form a vertical load stop. 6.) Whether you’re working on a project, preparing a tackle box, or tailgating at the big game, a pickup’s tailgate can often serve as a useful work surface. By lowering the inner gate alone, MultiPro provides a work surface at a comfortable height, much like a traditional workbench. Sierra’s available in-bed 120-volt electrical outlet makes this an even more versatile place to work. 7.) If you’re setting up a campsite or tailgating at the big game, and want to bring your music outdoors and closer to you – but don’t want to leave your truck running in order to play the stereo – the available Kicker MultiPro Sound System accessory can be quite handy.  The GMC Sierra MultiPro Audio system by KICKER is integrated with the MultiPro’s inner gate panel.  The KICKER is a 100-watt, exterior audio system with durable weatherproof components.

More Cargo Bed Volume Beside the trim levels consider this about the new Sierra. The 2021 GMC Sierra has more cargo bed volume than any competitor, an available 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel with 460 lb-ft of torque and best in class horsepower.  Add to this a First In-Class Head-Up Display and Rear Camera Mirror, Industry-First available Carbon-Fiber Composite Bed, and Class-Leading up to 15 Camera Views for trailering. You can see where this is going, and it is all going your way.  Especially, if you are in the market for a new truck.  Come see us and find out how the new 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 can work for you.
