New 2021 GMC Sierra MultiPro Tailgate

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.

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.
