Has anyone tried using a bed extender with their multipro tailgate?  I know the extender is built in to the gate, but I am looking for something to keep the groceries in one place when the gate is closed.  The AMP ones all say "Excl multipro…"  I feel like they should work, but would like to confirm this before I buy one. Thanks in advance.

I installed an Amp Research Bed Extender on my 2020 GMC 2500HD Duramax AT4 today and it has the MultiPro tailgate.  It installed just fine with the MultiPro Tailgate, no issues. 

Amp Research support told me it wouldn't work, and explained that they were worried about drilling into the carbon-fiber bed.  I don't have the CarbonPro edition (I think that only comes on 1500 trucks).

Anyways, I had the Amp Bed Extender on my '15 2500HD too and loved it.

Hope this helps.

Any updates on this? Had an AMP bed extender in our 2020 TB and loved it. Getting a 22 with multi flex. Hoping it will work in that as well.

Put my AMP bed extender from my 2018 Denali onto my At\4 with Milti-pro gate (not carbon bed) and installed and works exactly as it should.  No problems at all.

Not all short box 1500's are carbonpro.

Carbon pro is not available on standard bed or long bed 1500s'.

 

Multipro does not require carbonpro.

I also got the AMP RESEARCH bed extender for my 2020 Sierra Denali with Multipro.  They make three different types.  Not sure if all work with the Multipro tailgate but I can confirm the AMP RESEARCH BEDXTENDER HD SPORT works fine

I think so.  It's been a while since I was researching but I do recall hearing something like that.  My 2020 does have the bar.  If I recall correctly, that's what caused me to get the HD Sport instead of the HD Max.  Can't say I miss that little bit of space gained with the HD Max.

Just installed the HD max today. Was going to take the grab bar off but made the install and alignment of my soft tri fold cover easier so I left it on. No issues with clearance but you obviously can’t use the bar with the extender in. I will probably never use the bar so I don’t care, but that must be why they list it as not being compatible with multipro/multiflex.

I know this is an older post but was wondering if anyone could provide pics of their bed extender with the "old man" bar installed. I contacted AMP Research and they said there would be clearance issues. I also have a Perragon cover and the bed rails extend 3.5" beyond the truck bed wall. I wonder if I will run into issue with clearance as well.

It fits but you can’t unclip and put the handle up with the bed extender folded to the inside of the bed.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
