2021 Chevrolet Silverado Introduces New Multi-Flex Tailgate

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado introduces a new configurable Multi-Flex tailgate system, which operates in the exact same fashion as the MultiPro tailgate offered on the GMC Sierra.

The Multi-Flex tailgate will be offered as an option on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. So those hoping to rush to Automont and place an order for a pickup equipped with Multi-Flex will have to wait until early next year to do so. .

However, GM has not kept the secret very well, as we have photos and a video.

Like the MultiPro, the Multi-Flex tailgate has six different positions. The example images below show a GMC Sierra MultiPro hatchback, but don't be confused - the Chevrolet Silverado Multi-Flex system will work exactly the same. Let's take a look at the six different positions the tailgate offers:

1. Primary Gate

The regular position with the tailgate lowered.

2. Primary Gate Load Stop

The load stop adds an extra layer of convenience to the tailgate, helping to prevent items from sliding out of the box when driving.

3. Foldable Inner Gate For Easy Access

The inner gate of the tailgate can also fold down, giving the user easy access to the bed when loading and unloading items.

4. Full-Width Step

With a maximum weight capacity of 375 pounds (170 kg), the tailgate’s inner step gives the user an easy way to step up into the truck’s box. Two buttons on the tailgate handle allow the inner gate to release easily.

5. Inner Gate Load Stop

There’s also an additional load stop in the inner gate, which can help prevent second-tier items from sliding out of the box.

6. Inner Gate Work Surface

This the inner gate opened, the tailgate serves as a convenient work surface. This could also be useful when tailgating or hanging around the truck with friends.

The embedded video below also provides a more detailed look at the Multi-Flex tailgate system.
