Being a truck owner means needing a vehicle that’s ready for any job. Yet most traditional tailgates only do one thing—and that leaves a lot of potential on the table. The GMC Sierra HD changes the game with its Six-Function MultiPro Tailgate. Join us as we break down each of its configurations and show how they work together to maximize functionality, capability, and everyday convenience.
Six-Function Break Down
Closed Position:
In this traditional tailgate setting, the gate is fully upright—just like a standard truck tailgate. Its job is simple but essential: keeping your cargo securely inside the bed and preventing anything from sliding out during transport.
Primary Gate Position:
This is the classic tailgate-down setup. Lowering the gate gives you straightforward access to the bed, making it easy to load gear in or take it back out.
Primary Load Stop Position:
In this mode, a built-in load stop flips up and locks into place while the tailgate is lowered. It effectively extends the usable length of the bed, letting you haul longer items—like lumber or sheet goods—without worrying about them sliding out the back.
Easy Access Position:
With the tailgate lowered, you can release an additional section that swings down even farther. This brings the edge of the bed closer to you—about a foot—making it significantly easier to reach in and grab items without having to climb up or stretch as far.
Full-Width Step:
With the tailgate in the Easy Access position, you can fold down an integrated panel that creates a sturdy, full-width step. It’s rated to support up to 375 pounds, making it a reliable boost for climbing in and out of the truck bed. It can even double as a small bench whenever you need to take a quick break between tasks.
Work Surface Position:
With the main tailgate closed, you can fold down a dedicated inner panel to create a convenient work surface. It’s a perfect spot for setting tools, measuring materials, or organizing whatever you need to get the job done efficiently.
The Sierra HD’s MultiPro Tailgate isn’t just a clever piece of engineering—it’s a genuinely useful tool that adapts to the way you work and play. With six distinct functions designed to improve access, increase capability, and boost convenience, it transforms the truck bed into a more versatile space than ever before. Whether you’re hauling materials for a project, loading up gear for a weekend adventure, or simply looking for smarter ways to get things done, the MultiPro Tailgate proves that the right features can make all the difference.
