The Silverado Multi-Flex Tailgate


2021 Silverado Multi-Flex Tailgate Ingenuity

The ultimate pickup truck just got the ultimate upgrade with the new 2021 Silverado tailgate. Stop into Spitzer Chevy North Canton and let us show you the adaptable, multi-purpose tailgate that gives you six different functions to help you load, unload, and access your cargo bed easier and more efficiently.

Every trim of the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500—the Work Truck, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country—offers the available Multi-Flex Tailgate to give you more options to access the most functional truck bed of any competitor.

Most Functional Bed of Any Competitor

The Chevy Silverado is built with a roll-formed high-strength-steel construction Durabed that is designed to take the punishment you dole out. A best-in-class 89.1 cu ft of standard cargo bed volume and 12 standard fixed tie-downs—twice as many as all competitors—let you haul just about anything without the worry of shifting or damage.

The 2021 model year Silverado also offers an innovative available industry-first power-up/-down tailgate that gives your pickup bed the most functionality of any competitor in its class.

The added option of available LED cargo area and perimeter lighting—including pillar lamps angled toward the front of the box, cab-mounted cargo lights, and hitch-area lighting—can make loading up much simpler on those early mornings or late night stops.

Engineered with Your Job in Mind

Why settle for the standard fold-flat-to-open tailgate that adds extra length to reach over, slide things over, or haul things off of when you can have eight different options for accessing, loading, and unloading your pickup bed?

The Chevy Silverado’s available Multi-Flex Tailgate’s eight functions include:

  • Primary Gate—folds down open with the key fob, a switch inside the truck, or a button on the gate itself
  • Primary Gate Load Stop—folds down open and adds a load stop to prevent longer items from sliding out of the truck bed
  • Easy Access—the inner gate folds down to allow for easier/closer access into the bed
  • Full-Width Step—the inner gate folds down into a large step for easy access. (holds up to 375 pounds)
  • Inner Gate Load Stop—helps to prevent second-tier items from sliding out of the truck bed
  • Inner Gate w/ Work Surface—when opened, this provides a place for your laptop, blueprints, or second-tier loading

Customize Your Towing Options

With six different engine options, including an available Duramax® turbo-diesel engine—that achieves an impressive 33 mpg highway—and your choice of a standard bed or available short bed, there’s no shortage of hauling and towing options with the Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup truck.

When you drive a Silverado, you can go for the larger trailer, take that big job, or feel free to load up the truck bed with no worries. There’s no fretting with a max available trailering/towing capacity of 13,300 lbs, a max available payload of 2,280 lbs, and a max available cargo of 89.1 cu ft.

Advanced Towing Technology

Drive your Silverado with confidence whether you choose the regular cab, crew cab, or double cab. Chevy advanced towing technologies help you get where you’re going safely with up to 15 available camera views (more than any competitor) that allow for easier hitching, driving, parking, and backing up.

The 2021 Silverado includes smart features that make towing easier, like Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, and Auto Grade Braking. There’s also segment-firsts like Trailer Theft Alert, Electric Parking Brake Hookup Assist, and Brake Gain Memory on the integrated trailer brake controller.

You can also choose the available segment-first Advanced Trailering System that features an in-vehicle trailering app with customized trailer profiles, pre-departure checklists, trailer lighting diagnostics, trailer tire pressure/temperature monitoring, and more.
