The GMC Sierra AT4 can fill many roles – not only does it offer premium refinement in the cabin and off-roading capability in the rough stuff, but its also got the goods to haul your favorite toys wherever they need to go. Now, GM Authority has spotted this GMC Sierra AT4 in the wild doing exactly that, showing off its MultiPro tailgate with a custom motorcycle strapped down in the bed.
Caught on the streets of Southern California, the owner of this GMC Sierra AT4 is doing it right, loading up the bed with an eye-catching green motorcycle that screams for attention against the pickup’s black paint. The Sierra’s MultiPro tailgate is deployed, with the Primary Gate Load Stop flipped up to help keep the motorcycle safe and secure. We also spot a small ramp in back.
In total, the GMC Sierra’s MultiPro tailgate offers six individual positions to fit a wide range of scenarios. Beyond the traditional Primary Gate Access, plus the Primary Gate Load Stop seen here, the tailgate also offers a Foldable Inner Gate (something that would make unloading the motorcycle quite a bit easier), a Full-Width Step, an Inner Gate Load Stop, and an Inner Gate Work Surface as well.
As for the truck, this particular GMC Sierra AT4 is riding on a custom set of aftermarket wheels, which complement the bold stance with a split multi-spoke design, beadlock outer rim, and black finish.
This particular model is also fitted with the optional naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, which is rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, feeding the standard 4WD system via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Further standout features for the GMC Sierra AT4 include a 2-inch suspension lift and off-road suspension with Rancho monotube shocks, a two-speed AutoTrac transfer case, automatic locking rear differential, underbody skid plates, and vertical red recovery hooks.

It isn’t a ladder in the back, but a ramp intended for motorcycles and ATVs. As a sidenote, the manual gives instructions specifically on not supporting ramps directly on the inner tailgate.
Good call regarding the ramp, it’s obviously not a ladder. And yes, make sure the inner gate is folded before loading up.
Of course if they’d bought an AT4 with the standard (6.5) bed, instead of the short (5.5) bed, they might actually be able to close the tailgate.
Not sure why they downvoted you, it’s the truth. If you want to do truck things you have to get the 6’6” bed. Mall crawlers are short bed folk. Unless you’re mildly obsessed with shortbed, reg cab
Though I agree the longer bed is better it all depends on what you are using the truck for. In the midsize I prefer the longer bed 100%, I also prefer it with the full size but it won’t fit in a standard 20ft garage and it is more important to garage the truck than have the extra 12 inches of bed in my case. If I need more length I have a bed extender, I have yet to find anything that won’t fit in my 5’8″ bed with it extended (lumber, plywood, drywall, flooring, etc). Granted if I was a contractor and that is all I used the truck for or had a pool business or something yes, a long bed is the way to go. And while suburban dads are buying these trucks more and more for show with the box checker versions they buy to replace their luxury sedans and suv’s, many use them for a work life balance including lifestyle which is camping, off roading and outdoor activities.
I know when going offroad the shorter bed is helpful, I have come across that a few times in the back country, not where a long bed might not have made it but it would have drug more or taken more work to get around an obstacle. Either way the short bed isn’t just mall crawlers. If you tow more often and rarely haul the shorter bed is beneficial (though the longer bed is a little better for towing in many cases in terms of comfort, stability and weight). Either way the shorter bed in a full size isn’t just for mall crawlers, I use my truck for truck stuff more than many all around (towing, hauling & off roading) and the short bed has done just fine while keeping it out of the southern sun and frequent hail storms.
I will replace this with a CCLB mid sizer next go around as they are capable enough to tow the boat and camper while being more efficient with enough space, lower cost and fit better in the back country while comfortably fitting in the garage (though the house we’re building has an over sized garage). I buy what tool does the best job all around. I would have been fine with a midsizer this go around (and wanted to go that route) but the GM twins just came out and had no deals on them while I saved nearly 25% on my full size truck, so I went that route which has served me well so far as I near 100k miles.
My double cab standard bed is practically as long as a full size cab short bed.
I agree though, the 8’ beds are kinda iffy lol. That would blow to park in a lot of areas
And what us that going to do if the strap fails?
Maybe consider a small trailer? Much lower and easier to load by one person. Most trucks way too high/tall these days. All depends if a back seat is more important than bed length.
Whole lot easier to maneuver and park without a trailer, particularly in a dense place with tiny spaces like Southern California. You also have to find a place to store the trailer, which is expensive if you don’t have the $600k-1 million to fork out for your own single-family home in SoCal (at least the livable parts).
I have the multi pro tail gate and thought I would love it until it started opening on its own. Good thing I didn’t have anything in the back of the truck.
He will need more that a tin gate stop to hold the bike in when those bungee cords break. The bike is probably in the paint now getting the rear fender painted.
