@@CMya018don’t know who thinks it up, but more power to them. It’s a great tailgate and the kicker system is great when out piddling around in the yard or for listening to the football game while out playing with the kids.
The multi tailgate is really not needed.. anyone who's using a pickup for work, should be able to load it at normal height. The bumper footholds are very useful though
I respectfully disagree. True, a mulipro tailgate isn't *needed* but it certainly is useful and helpful. Just like power windows, power seats, and a radio really aren't *needed*, but they are useful and helpful. I love my multipro tailgate. I use it all the time loading and unloading my truck.
I have to disagree. I store all my tools in the bed of my truck. Having the convenience of simply dropping the tailgate and walking right into the bed as opposed to climbing in to get access to my tool boxes is a game changer.
I like in AK and my dads GMC has the multi-pro, and it makes getting in and out of the bed for pallets a lot easier since they’re on pallets and they’re heavy ass bags.
Yeah, no. The tailgate is highly useful, especially when the wife is using the truck. I’m 6’2” and there is a huge diff when reaching into the bed. Also an excellent step as well as having the kicker audio system, we just connect via Bluetooth and can listen to whatever while doing yard work.
Just have to remember that every time you tow something...you are guaranteed to remember this after you or other damages a very expensive tailgate.... If GMC/Chevy were smart like a Tesla, the vehicle already knows it's towing and would automatically lock out the top tailgate to prevent tailgate damage. Now that would be a good user/human friendly safe design...
Having had the Ram gate/tailgate, I absolutely loved it towing as I could just open the small side and do what I needed or it was a regular tail gate. AND, I loved opening it like doors and in a short bed, I could almost reach to the back of the cab. It was wonderful at the transfer station. I was sad I couldn't get it on my HD/2500... I was the same with the Ram Boxes. I frankly was ambivalent or skeptical on both of them but they came with the deal on the lot. The boxes were great for store items when you got dogs in the back of the cab. They couldn't get to the meat and it was easy to access the items.
@@elihammond2503 I use it as a step all the time. It makes climbing in and out of the back of my truck much easier. I will drop the inner gate as well when just reaching for stuff in the back. It gets you closer and makes it easier to reach your load. I also use the load stop feature quite a bit too. I admit, it seemed gimmicky at first, but it has proven to be very useful- kind of like power windows, power locks, and power seats. While they aren't absolutely necessary, they are very convenient.
@@elihammond2503 A couple of useful aspects: With the tailgate down and the top portion lower (but the step still folded up) the cut out portion allows you to stand closer to the bed to reach in. Another that I really like is that with my standard size bed I can have the tailgate down and open only the step portion and it acts as a flat vertical stop at the end of the tailgate just as another piece of mind to prevent my motorcycles or 8' lumber in the bed from being able to slide out (if you're parked on a slope or something while strapping things down).
@@hawkman302 There is some benefit to this optional tailgate. Not really sure how that reflects on society. These trucks are pretty much used everywhere in a lot of industries, even with the police. GM is just trying to innovate. Not that they are any good at it.
@@blackonblack...9244 oh I know. Trucks are also on a grander scale used by people who don’t need a truck at all. They use it as a status symbol vs towing or hauling. Police gravitate to SUV’s so they can have more equipment that is protected by the elements. The only police vehicles that are a pickup are usually a CSO (community service officer) who does road debris pickup, found bikes, and other traffic related tasks that may require cones or barriers. For state level, DNR will use them as they may need to take dead animals, traps, or equipment as evidence. All in all, if you can’t gut up on a tailgate, you may need to do something that was invented in the 80’s like jogging or something. On another note, the auto industry is junk today. The lifts on trucks only raise the CG and don’t have a real benefit to the user.

I am curious if they couldn’t just use the back-up camera to detect the objects that could interfere with the tailgate operation and auto lock-out that portion of it. A similar concept to the lock-out mechanism that prevents minivans from opening the sliding door when refueling.
Imagine if GM just wrote programming that stopped your step portion from opening when you have a trailer harness attached… It really can’t be that difficult.❤
Lmaoo when these first came out my brother brought this up and the guy at the autoshow tried his best but everyone else nearby was like wait a min the kid is right 😂😂 funiest shit ever.
Hats off to the guys who put the Autoshow together. This video was recorded in McCormick North building. Probably Thursday the 9th. That was press day. Thanks again to GES. Excellent work by the aerial crew and the flyers. And special thx to a couple carpet kickers for making this sparky job easier.
If you use you’re truck for truck things you don’t need this, a normal tailgate works and has worked just fine for 80+ years and will continue to work for another 80+ years assuming that we’re still allowed to have trucks that get low gas mileage/run on gas in 80 years. This is just another point of potential failure added to an already unreliable gm pickup.
In the old days, like the 80s or 90s, we would have just let those slam into the bottom. But, now we gotta be damage conscious about our vehicles. Lol!
Inflation, more electronics, and now customers are worried about "feautures." I hate new GMs and Fords. Dodge is iffy these days, but Totota is where it's at! For towing tho, I'd rather get a turbocharged Cummins!
96' and over years is what I buy because that's when they came out with OBD2 which makes it easier for mechanics like me to get LIVE DATA. Super useful 👍
It will hit ball mount as well. Best idea is don't create answers to problems that don't exist. Oh. Ever mine that tailgate seat is needed while waiting for tow truck
There’s an aftermarket device that prevents the top gate from lowering if anything is in the hitch (not just if something is plugged in). GM should do this inherently.
GM always designs its vehicles for simplicity, durability, and reliability, while trying to keep the sticker price as low as possible. These GMC and Chevy trucks are like a rock, at least until something goes completely haywire.
thanks! Chevy/GMC should have a sensor that if it detects a trailer hooked up then the top part should not release if the bottom part is released. Really simple to do especially with the sensors or even using the camera.
My dad did this on accident one time on his high country…he wanted to show me how it worked but forgot the trailer ball was still in…he opened the step and went to hop on it and the trailer ball put a dent right above the handle, from there on out we never wanted that tailgate lol, it’s cool but it’s easy to forget about the trailer ball…you’d think they would make a sensor or something so you couldn’t let the step down when the trailer balls attached
Gm should do an update to make this work for the 2019-2021 models. I have a 2021 and it’s a shame that I’m gonna have to spend about $100 to buy a magnetic kit that knows when I have a hitch installed and to interlock the multi pro from opening. Come on GM I paid over $63,000 for my truck in 2021 you for sure have the means to fix it!!

The bigger problem is 20% of the trucks the inner gate stops functioning at all. I wish they left the handle(s)
You got that stat from where? Don’t know anyone that has the multipro tailgate that has had that issue. Have had 2 AT4’s and neither had the issue.
@@ThreeBattRanger dealership mentioned it and my gate is one of them.
@@dusdroadadventures7978 i think your making that up because your jealous that your ford died again :D
Lmaoo when these first came out my brother brought this up and the guy at the autoshow tried his best but everyone else nearby was like wait a min the kid is right 😂😂 funiest shit ever.
The amazing part is a GMC actually towing something.
When a modern "convenience" isn't.
Another clever solution is not buying a gmc or chevy truck with a multi-function tailgate.
Hats off to the guys who put the Autoshow together.
This video was recorded in McCormick North building. Probably Thursday the 9th. That was press day.
Thanks again to GES. Excellent work by the aerial crew and the flyers. And special thx to a couple carpet kickers for making this sparky job easier.
My gmc has 12000 miles on it. The bed has already sagged from the small camper I pull. About 300lbs hitch weight.
If you use you’re truck for truck things you don’t need this, a normal tailgate works and has worked just fine for 80+ years and will continue to work for another 80+ years assuming that we’re still allowed to have trucks that get low gas mileage/run on gas in 80 years. This is just another point of potential failure added to an already unreliable gm pickup.
Exactly.
mad cuz u cant afford and it makes life way easier bud trust start investing :D
In the old days, like the 80s or 90s, we would have just let those slam into the bottom. But, now we gotta be damage conscious about our vehicles. Lol!
Inflation, more electronics, and now customers are worried about "feautures." I hate new GMs and Fords. Dodge is iffy these days, but Totota is where it's at! For towing tho, I'd rather get a turbocharged Cummins!
96' and over years is what I buy because that's when they came out with OBD2 which makes it easier for mechanics like me to get LIVE DATA. Super useful 👍
So much better than a Ford.....💯💯💯
I really like the new F design of the GMC taillight when you open the gate.
So many soft people in the comments, people aren't vehicle operators anymore, they are passengers.
You can toss 1000 features at me, but it's still a GM
Still got unreliability written all over it, that's why I tell my customers to buy a Toyota!
@@thedornanfam-blogsplusmore8510 Just not the new Tundra. That has a ton of issues too
@@JoeJacksonGT3 Yup
@@thedornanfam-blogsplusmore8510 someones mad that they cant buy a gmc :D
It will hit ball mount as well. Best idea is don't create answers to problems that don't exist. Oh. Ever mine that tailgate seat is needed while waiting for tow truck
That just screams that it is going to break right in the middle of winter.
There’s an aftermarket device that prevents the top gate from lowering if anything is in the hitch (not just if something is plugged in). GM should do this inherently.
NICE! Now I just need a boat
"And girls"😂😂😂
That hate looks like a problem waiting to happen. I want old man truck and washing machine.❤
GM always designs its vehicles for simplicity, durability, and reliability, while trying to keep the sticker price as low as possible.
These GMC and Chevy trucks are like a rock, at least until something goes completely haywire.
Dude kinda sounds like Anthony Bourdain, now you can't unhear it
thanks! Chevy/GMC should have a sensor that if it detects a trailer hooked up then the top part should not release if the bottom part is released. Really simple to do especially with the sensors or even using the camera.
Good to know. Rockin some mighty bright shoes, cool.
I thought he was going to give an antitheft tip. Come on, admit it, you did too. 😂
I am a GM truck owner!!! Mine don't have this feature!!!As far as I'm concerned it's just another thing to go wrong 😕.
I watched my boss fight that tailgate for 30 minutes one time. Whopped his ass.
My dad did this on accident one time on his high country…he wanted to show me how it worked but forgot the trailer ball was still in…he opened the step and went to hop on it and the trailer ball put a dent right above the handle, from there on out we never wanted that tailgate lol, it’s cool but it’s easy to forget about the trailer ball…you’d think they would make a sensor or something so you couldn’t let the step down when the trailer balls attached
@gm why not just have it slow drop because you know a trailer is plugged in? Avoid the slam at least and not add complexity of another sensor.
Nice, GM engineers solve a non-issue while continuing to ignore the others.
Chev was always the boss's truck as it never gets put to work. Always spotless. They're designed for bosses.
I'm more worried about their cylinder issues and door handles breaking personally. 😂
I was wondering about that, good looking out dude😎
I like the Spanish part 😊😊
It also gets stuck like that.
It also fails constantly and if you make it angry it will open on its own as you drive 😂
That mini 'top' tailgate is hilarious, why overcomplicate things
Will need to know where the tow hooks are to
New tail lights ??
My obs ford tailgate has that feature built-in permanently so that I never have to remember to set it when hauling a trailer
Just remember to re do it anytime you disconnect the battery. I learned the hard way.
Love the red shoes
GMC = Got Mechanic Comin'
yeah but the mechanic does its job :D. ford = found off road dead
Gm should do an update to make this work for the 2019-2021 models. I have a 2021 and it’s a shame that I’m gonna have to spend about $100 to buy a magnetic kit that knows when I have a hitch installed and to interlock the multi pro from opening.
Come on GM I paid over $63,000 for my truck in 2021 you for sure have the means to fix it!!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY 2020 SLT HAS IT AND EVERYTHING
If you are a real truck owner, your not worried about dents, scratches,and mud!!
They solved a problem they created 😂 thats like pooping yourself then bragging about how it wasn't diarrhea
Ahh that's why a new till gate costs as much as my whole car.
Good Old Government Motor Company😂
A solution for a problem that doesn't need to exist
Just when ya think a tail gate can't get any more expensive... ta da
actually its cheaper because its an alumin tailgage not metal
Insurance company when the guy with the fancy tailgate gets rear ended- " we'll pay to put a regular one in, not paying for your $5,000 tailgate"
Thanks 👍✌️🇨🇦
That’s a useful feature to defeat a feature of a feature.
