Huge trucks with 4 wheel drive and diesel engines. Toys… just toys.
The top part won't open with a receiver in the hitch, they fixed that in 2022
Put a bead of adhesive silicone on them , if you slam your tailgate they will fall out
It would've been getter if you could've shown this at night time. Good accessory though.
Man I'm So Proud of GM Trucks!!
Just came here to say Kicker, and feed the algorithm 🍻
The Chevy and GMC trucks do have a lockout feature to insure that the inner tailgate doesn’t hit your hitch. I’m not sure which models have it but I have an SLT and it has this feature:
“The MultiPro inner tailgate may be equipped with an enable/disable feature to prevent
the inner tailgate from being opened when a hitch or other equipment is installed that could damage the inner tailgate.
To disable the inner tailgate from opening: ensure that the remote key is within
1 meter (3 ft) of the rear bumper and then hold the upper touchpad on the tailgate handle for three seconds. The tail lamps will flash to alert you that the inner gate has been disabled. The inner and outer tailgate can still be operated like a traditional tailgate, but the inner gate will not be able to be opened alone.”
So when I have a hitch attached I just disable the inner tailgate so I don’t accidentally open it. Easy peasy!
As much as a Denali trim costs, these should be standard
Curious If those tailgates rattle going down the road
Hey JD hope you are having a great day? Its Leonard,I love watching the video's that you make. I didn't realize that those panels popped out like that an that there was different things you could pop back in the place of the panels. I think those lights are a great addition to the tailgate. It gives you more light if you are climbing in an o guy t of the back of the truck at night. I think its cool that you can add a Bluetooth system too. As always thank you for everything that you do for us!! Your fan an friend Leonard from NC.
This is great for a camp site.
Ставил бы уже 4 шт. Две штуки, это полу вариант.
You could close the tailgate and leave the cargo stop/step open and they might provide a lot more light to see in the bed.
ive never gotten the fascination with the tailgates i figured it was just a gimick to get a tailgate to add 2000k to the price of the vehicle
You would think for $80,000 GM could add a $50 light
I tried to purchase the GMC illumined front grill emblem, but Gm has stopped sales due to issues with the connections getting wet, causes the headlights to fail. Hope the GM engineers solve this issue soon.
I'm not sure why all the complaints About the tailgate dropping. Can't you lock out the drop option, then it's just a tailgate.. PUSH the button to get it back to step mode. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.
Did this upgrade about a month ago after seeing it on DonsLife channel. Turned out good but the press in fit isn’t as tight as I’d like so I did opt for the dab of silicone in each corner. Whole install took about 10 minutes.
What ever happened to the days when a truck was a truck???? I would probably break all of the whistles and bells
That compartment seems perfect for a Cartel Runner
Really wish you had shown the lights at night to really get a sense of what you can see when using them
I bought the lights from GM accessories and like them. Miss the switch in the bed like my Fords had. GM saved a penny, and it’s noticeable!
Have damaged both of my last trucks tailgates with the ball in the receiver. GM needs to rethink this a bit.
Use a little black RTV on the sides of those lights
They 10% off now
Ford step for 2023 is 2" lower /longer depending on how you look at it.
In 2020 when I was ordering a 2500 HD these lights were a factory option or accessory. Must have stopped offering it.
Hey JD,
I have a 2022 Chevy ZR2 with the multi-pro tailgate and was thinking about the radio / speaker OEM combo but did not know how much I would actually use it for what it cost. This is a much more usable option for what I’m going to use my truck for.
Another GREAT video that really helped, just like the camper videos and of course the cargo trailer ideas that you have provided!
Thanks for all the help!!

Nice hearing the sand hill cranes in the back ground.
Nice lights, I like that.
Nice I love it💯👌
AN A/C power port would be a great accessory for one of spaces. A lot of people could use A/C power when the multi-pro tailgate is down. Another good accessory, that would be rally cool is a compressed air port.
Awesome 😎
I’m so happy you bought a GMC, now I can copy all of your upgrades! 2021 GMC Denali 2500 HD.
You should build or design your own truck
Would those lights be better served facing the bed of the truck ? Instead of the step ?
I'd be concerned about the longevity of the wire connection on the back of the circuit board on those lights. Not sealed up at all and the wire and connector hanging off the two little soldered connections vibrating and swinging would break them off eventually. And that area wouldn't be water/moisture free and the open circuit board may succumb to the elements eventually.
My truck was supposed to have dealer installed lights in my multiple tailgate. Not sure I got anything installed. Maybe they are just waiting for them to ship.
Cool idea
GM was supposed to do a protection to prevent the tailgate to open if it has a hitch.
It’s a kicker audio system not RF, and it’s really nothing to write home about.
Found it.
Considering how many truck owners pull trailers, the GM tailgate issue with the ball hitch could not continue. So, the designers fitted the receiver with a sensor that tells the truck when a hitch is installed. Then the truck makes sure the mid-section of the tailgate remains locked so it cannot drop down and hit the ball hitch.
I thought I read somewhere that GM had a update that when there was a hitch in the receiver the tailgate wouldn't go all the way down like that.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’m going to say it anyway. This is starting to seem less like a “I bought this 1/2 ton to test using it like a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup” to “I bought this truck to partner with aftermarket companies”.
I get why you do this and I enjoy ~40% of your content but it’s the same issue I have with some other Channels. At a certain point it becomes so much about the views and the partnerships the focus goes away from the core audience. Two off-road channels come to mind and when the focus shifted from off roading and fun to monetizing the audience….the quality of the videos dropped. Just saying.
Too bad GM didn’t do a switch in bed like Ford. It’s odd they would choose not to do that
Nice looking lights. Does your truck have a small spot light on the other side of the rear camera that comes on with the bed lights?
I have the same trim removal kit. Bought mine to remove the front grill of our 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to install some flush mounted driving lights.
all three us truck makers have these fancy tailgates in some form or another. i have to wonder how much payload capacity you lose with them
The audio system is by Kicker, just for accuracy's sake… but I think the lights are a better use of space! Nice to see the aftermarket ones work decently vs. the $200 ones GM sells.
