Jennings Auto Group – How the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 MultiPro Tailgate Simplifies Jobs and Leisure Trips around Litchfield, IL

GMC’s MultiPro™ Tailgate is more than a talking point—it is a daily advantage that turns your bed into a smarter workspace. With six distinct functions designed to streamline loading, unloading, organization, and access, the MultiPro system helps contractors and weekend warriors keep tasks moving with fewer steps and less strain. Around Litchfield, IL, where a truck often serves as both weekday tool and weekend family hauler, that matters. The primary gate, inner gate, and foldable load stop positions expand your options for lumber, gear, and home-improvement supplies, while the inner gate work surface transforms your Sierra into a jobsite desk for notes, a laptop, or a tablet. Add the available MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER, and you’ve built an outdoor hub that elevates tailgates, park days, and campsite evenings.

The practical advantage is how quickly MultiPro adapts to what you need next. Need bed access without climbing? Drop the inner gate to create a step and lift yourself in securely. Hauling boards or conduit that extend beyond the bed? Deploy the load stop to keep them in place. Moving coolers and camping gear for a night by the lake? The various configurations let you layer cargo intelligently while still reaching the essentials. Pair it with the available CarbonPro® composite bed and you have a durable, scratch- and dent-resistant foundation that stands up to the Midwest’s mix of weather and work demands. For owners who value efficiency and organization as much as muscle, MultiPro is the feature you feel every single day.

  • Step-up access: The inner gate converts to a convenient step for safer, easier climbs into the bed.
  • Workspace on demand: Fold the inner gate to create a flat surface for paperwork, tools, or a laptop.
  • Long-load security: Use the load stop positions to keep lumber, ladders, or kayaks more stable.
  • Close-up reach: Lower the inner gate to bring cargo closer to you without sliding items forward.
  • Tailgate tunes: The available KICKER setup turns downtime into a moment with crisp outdoor audio.

MultiPro also plays well with the Sierra’s broader capability toolkit. When you’re pairing the tailgate’s organization tricks with the ProGrade® Trailering System, you get a more predictable workflow from garage to jobsite to dock. The in-vehicle trailering app, hitch guidance views, and integrated Trailer Brake Controller help you hook up and roll out with less second-guessing. Meanwhile, the available 13.4-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in compatibility and the 12.3-inch Driver Information Center keep your key information front and center, whether you’re monitoring tire pressures or double-checking a route. It’s the combination of smarter cargo handling and smarter trailering that sets the Sierra apart.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does MultiPro replace traditional tailgate functions?

It builds on them. You still have the standard drop gate, plus multiple inner gate positions that add step access, a work surface, load stops, and closer reach to cargo.

Is the MultiPro Tailgate durable enough for daily jobsite use?

Yes. It’s engineered for regular work with solid hardware and smart geometry. Many owners pair it with the CarbonPro® bed for added toughness against scratches and dents.

Can I use the MultiPro Tailgate with tonneau covers or bed accessories?

In most cases, yes. We recommend reviewing accessory compatibility so the inner gate clears any cover or rack components before installation.

What if I want to add the KICKER audio later?

The MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER can be added when ordered from the factory or through the accessories path; ask our team to review setup options that fit your truck.

For buyers who balance practical productivity with weekend flexibility, MultiPro’s blend of step, workbench, and cargo control makes everyday tasks smoother. One feature rarely does it all, but MultiPro comes close—it connects the Sierra’s bed to the way you actually work. When you’re ready to explore configurations and compatible accessories, our team can show how to tailor the setup to your projects and pastimes. Jennings Auto Group, serving Macomb, Litchfield, and Quincy, can also walk you through how MultiPro integrates with other systems like ProGrade trailering and camera views, so your truck is set for the next load, the next job, and the next weekend away.
