Mileage Psycho Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I looked at a Denali yesterday because I really think the Multi-Pro Tailgate is a great feature.........then I saw the label that stated a maximum capacity of 375 lbs., so with that I am looking to see if anyone has tested the tailgate with a sled.

Woodtick Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Have @Anler go to the dealership and sit on the tail gate for you.we have had many discussions at work about that tail gate. I don’t know anyone that has put one through the ringer. Edited November 20, 2019 by Woodtick 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tailgate would have to be in the flat down position first to do that, and then you would have to either be retarded or stupid drunk to drop the step down with a trailer connected, although you would want to make the hitch ball isn't loaded before dropping the step down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gm has the bumper step that work good.... http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/06/gmc-sierra-multipro-tailgate-hits-hitch-when-fully-extended-video/ gm made this tailgate to get fools to part with their money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aluminum will corrode but take longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 These multi function gates are the biggest gimmicks I’ve ever seen. I think their cost for replacement has been mentioned at over $4k???? They just have to be marketed for the do-it-yourselfers looking to pick up a couple of 2x4’s and some wallpaper at Home Depot Saturday morning. I’ve talked about it with several contractors and everyone laughs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasted a stock F350 tail gate rolling a 55 gal barrel of oil off a loading dock, and about a 8” drop. Doesn’t take all that much to bend one.
