The MultiPro tailgate offered on the GMC Sierra 1500 adds flexibility and functionality thanks to a total of six individual tailgate configurations. However, for those customers that prefer a standard tailgate, rather than the MultiPro unit, the standard option is still available.
The latest 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 extends the availability MultiPro tailgate to the SLE and Elevation trim levels, making the feature standard across the GMC Sierra 1500 lineup, with the exception of the base-level Sierra, which now offers the feature as an available option for $595. As a reminder, the previous 2020 GMC Sierra included MultiPro as standard on the three highest trims, namely the SLT, AT4, and Denali, while the 2020 Elevation trim offered the features as an optional extra for Crew Cab models, and the 2020 SLE and base trims didn’t offer the option at all.
Introduced with the 2019 Sierra, the MultiPro tailgate is now standard on more trims, underlining the feature’s popularity. However, for those customers that prefer a more traditional setup, the GMC Sierra 1500 SLE and Elevation trims can still be optioned with a standard tailgate, rather than the MultiPro tailgate, if desired.
Replacing the MultiPro tailgate (RPO code QK2) with a standard tailgate (RPO code QK1) reduces pricing for the SLE trim by $500, while pricing for the Elevation is reduced by $400 with a standard setup.
As GM Authority covered previously, the GMC Sierra 1500 MultiPro tailgate is available with a Kicker Sound System, which connects to audio streaming inputs through either a wired USB cable, or wirelessly through Bluetooth. The system puts out 100 watts of sound through two four-inch coaxial drivers and a small amplifier, with controls built right in that make it perfect for tailgating or camping.
Earlier this month, GM Authority exclusively reported that GMC dealers are no longer able to order the MultiPro tailgate step lights for the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500.

Glad they still offer the standard tailgate also instead of a double jointed whacky mess of a tailgate
I wanted the standard tailgate but was not on the site any longer and just took delivery of my AT4 with this piece of overly complicated piece of junk !
“Complicated” ??? Well you must find the radio absolutely baffeling.
You’ll think complicated when someone rear ends your truck and you’ll have to shell out 2 grand to replace it
Ummmmmmmm do you not drive with insurance? IE uninsured or underinsured? You might check into the cost of the “standard” tailgate — not cheap. Hence the lock on the tailgate to prevent theft.
Deductibles apply to whichever tailgate you have unless its stolen I myself make stealing a tailgate extremely hard unless you bring a tool chest lol I have always bullet proofed my tailgates from theft because I never take them off ever
Glad they will still offer the standard tail gate. The new gate has to many moving parts and that means to many problems in the future when it gets older.
Seems that offering a no nonsense simple design should be a no brainer but apparently gm feels they have bestowed a gracious offer to us by still making it possible to avoid a complicated tailgate.
The solid simple design of the standard gate is my choice.
Absolutely love the transformer tailgate. It’s why I bought the truck. Loading is awesome with the step down and it gives you more access to the bed with the drop down. Those who worry about the tailgate having problems many years down the road need not worry because they make new trucks for us to buy!
You must lease yours if that the case your golden, others want their trucks to last longer and that means not having things that break, wear out or cause problems simpler is better that menagerie of a tailgate is designed for lazy people or people who like new fangled gadgets , So knock yourself out
Next thing you know GM will start putting computers in our trucks. Just another thing to break years down the road. Wish they offered a horse and buggy as an option.
Hate to tell you but they already have computers plus they spy on you lol
hahaha!
are vapes without nicotine bad for you
