Then, shortly after our first post, we shared the first photos of the Multi-Flex tailgate on a Silverado.
We figured it was only a matter of time until the feature became “official”. Turns out today was that day.
To announce the new tailgate pulled from the GMC Sierra, Chevrolet let out this teaser this morning and the video above:
DETROIT – For a century, the tailgate has had one primary job. Time to update its resume. Introducing the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado, featuring the new, available Multi-Flex Tailgate* with six unique functional configurations. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2021 Chevy Silverado on Sept. 21.
