2019 GMC Sierra 1500's six-function Multi-Pro Tailgate

When the engineers and designers behind the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 turned to a clean sheet to start designing the next-generation of America’s toughest and most work-ready trucks, they left no part unconsidered. Case in point: the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500’s advanced Multi-Pro Tailgate.

Since the dawn of the first motorized trucks over 120 years ago, the tailgate has remained basically unchanged: a flat door, usually hinged from the bottom, with the dirt-simple job of keeping your load from tumbling out. Other than that, the most impressive thing a standard truck tailgate could do is act as a handy place to sit as you watch the…

world go by.

That all changes with the 2019 GMC’s available Multi-Pro Tailgate, which features six work-ready functions to make things easier whether you’re at work or play. Read on for the six functions of the 2019 GMC’s advanced Multi-Pro Tailgate. And once you’re suitably impressed, stop in at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC and check out a 2019 GMC Sierra for yourself. The rest of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is even more impressive than the tailgate! Come see us for a test drive, or check out our big selection of 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 models online right now.

1) PRIMARY GATE: Even as advanced as it is, the Multi-Pro Tailgate’s first job is the same one standard tailgates have been performing for years: closing off the rear of the bed and making sure your stuff doesn’t fall out. Even there, though, the Multi-Pro Tailgate has a trick up its sleeve: a power assist features that can raise and lower the tailgate with the touch of a button on the dash or keyfob, for a helping hand when you’ve got your hands full.

2) PRIMARY GATE LOAD STOP: Got an item that’s just a bit too long for the standard cargo box, so you have to haul with the tailgate down? The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500’s Multi-Pro Tailgate gives you an assist there too, with the primary gate load stop, a sturdy, eight inch panel on the inside of the tailgate that flips up and locks in place when the tailgate is down, keeping long and bulky stuff from sliding out even with the tailgate down. . 3) FOLDING INNER GATE: Trying to reach over the tailgate to grab items deep in the bed can be a pain, so the GMC Multi-Pro Tailgate includes a flip down inner gate that shortens the distance between you and your cargo, for easier unloading.

4) FULL WIDTH STEP: Getting into and out of the bed of your pickup is a necessity if you actually work out of your truck, while simultaneously being one of the most dangerous. Making it safer and easier than ever is the Multi-Pro Tailgate’s folding, full-width step, which opens in less than a second and can support up to 375 pounds.

5) INNER GATE LOAD STOP: Got something a bit too long for your bed, but don’t want to put the tailgate all the way down? The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500’s Multi-Pro Tailgate includes an inner gate load stop that can flip down while the tailgate is up, keeping your cargo secure.

6) INNER GATE WORK SURFACE: If you’re using a laptop or tablet on the job — or even just plain ol’ pen and paper — finding a flat, secure, surface to work on is always an issue. With the 2019 GMC Sierra’s Multi-Pro Tailgate, you’ll always have a perfect-height standing desk everywhere you go, thanks to the Inner Gate Work Surface. With the tailgate up, just flip the work surface down and get to work, without worrying your expensive laptop or important contracts are going to slide off and hit the dirt.

The engineers behind the 2019 GMC Sierra truly left no stone unturned when it came to designing the next-gen flagship truck. That includes the tailgate.
