Bed extender with MultiPro tailgate?

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
