Poll: Should The MultiStow Tailgate Make Its Way To The GMC Sierra?

The GMC Sierra is certainly no stranger to innovation, with GM debuting the MultiPro tailgate in conjunction with the Sierra’s 2019 model year. With six different configurations, the MultiPro tailgate has been a popular feature for those seeking additional versatility for their full-size truck. However, as technology evolves, so too do customer demands, which leads us to wonder: should the GMC Sierra also adopt the MultiStow tailgate currently available for the smaller GMC Canyon?

The MultiStow tailgate is currently not available for the GMC Sierra.

For those unfamiliar, the GMC Canyon’s MultiStow tailgate (RPO code BPC) adds a lockable storage compartment within the tailgate itself. Measuring 45 inches wide and 4 inches deep, this watertight compartment includes a drain plug, making it ideal for storing tools, gear, or even ice for a tailgate party. The design also features integrated cupholders, adding further functionality for outdoor activities.

For the 2025 GMC Canyon, the MultiStow tailgate is offered as part of the Convenience Package (RPO code WPC) on the Elevation trim, and is equipped as standard on AT4 and Denali trims.

According to GM Chief Engineer Nick Katcherian, integrating the MultiPro tailgate into the midsize GMC Canyon could prove to be a challenge, given the smaller truck doesn’t provide as much tailgate real estate.

“It’s all about the space we’d have to package this [MultiPro tailgate] into,” Katcherian explained to GM Authority. “It would just be a really hard package to execute where you would not get the full benefit out of it compared to a full-size truck.”

Nevertheless, the question remains – why not incorporate the MultiStow tailgate into the GMC Sierra? With its larger size, the Sierra could possibly accommodate an even deeper and wider storage compartment, increasing its utility for both work and leisure activities. And with the MultiPro tailgate already offering significant flexibility, adding a lockable storage compartment could elevate the pickup’s practicality even further.

What do you think? Should the MultiStow tailgate make its way from the GMC Canyon to the Sierra lineup? Vote in the poll below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
