Wilcoxson GMC – How the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500’s MultiPro™ Tailgate Makes Work Tasks Easier around Canon City, CO
The 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is renowned for its strength and technology, but one feature stands out for daily convenience—GMC’s world’s first six-function MultiPro™ Tailgate. Around Canon City, CO, where work can mean hauling tools to a client’s property in the morning and loading camping gear for Shelf Road by afternoon, MultiPro™ transforms the back of the truck into a smart, flexible workspace. It is not just a tailgate; it is a built-in step, a standing-height desk, a load stop for longer materials, and a quick way to reach into the bed without climbing over the side. When paired with the available MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER, it becomes an impromptu outdoor hub for a jobsite huddle or a quiet evening near the Arkansas River.
MultiPro™ is engineered in layers. The primary gate opens traditionally or as a full-width step helper. An inner gate folds down independently to act as a second tier for long items like ladders or 2x4s, and it can also drop into a step position that supports easier in-and-out access. A deployable load stop helps keep plywood or boards from shifting on the drive from hardware stores to home projects. For those building out equipment for a small business, the inner gate’s standing-height work surface creates a stable platform for laptops, clipboards, and quick measurements, backed by the Sierra’s available power outlets to keep tools charged. It is a single feature with multiple time-savers built in, especially valuable when your day spans errands, work, and outdoor plans.
- Six functions, one tailgate: Traditional open, inner gate open, full-width step, inner gate load stop, primary gate load stop, and standing-height work surface.
- Tool-friendly design: The work surface supports laptops, paperwork, and light-duty assembly to streamline on-site tasks.
- Easier bed access: The integrated step reduces strain when you need to climb in and out repeatedly.
- Secure long loads: Two-tier cargo management helps keep lumber, ladders, and kayaks more controlled.
- Optional audio system: The available KICKER setup turns tailgate time into meeting time—or downtime.
Beyond convenience, MultiPro™ complements the Sierra 1500’s broader capability story. Available Max Trailering and ProGrade® Trailering tools help align and manage your load, while the high-strength steel bed and available CarbonPro® composite bed bring lasting durability for tough jobs. Inside, the available 13.4-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in integrates seamlessly with your workday, and the available 12.3-inch Driver Information Center keeps vital information in view. If you opt for AT4 or AT4X, off-road suspension hardware lets you get your gear to remote sites with confidence, and the MultiPro™ Tailgate makes unloading on uneven terrain easier.
For many owners, the payoff is efficiency. When your truck helps you move faster and safer—whether you are a contractor setting up on a driveway, a weekend warrior loading bikes and boards, or a DIYer tackling a yard overhaul—you feel it every day. The MultiPro™ Tailgate amplifies what the Sierra already does well, by reducing extra steps, adding secure load control, and creating a true mobile workspace that fits life along the Front Range.
