From the stand point of owning the multi pro tailgate why would you get it?  And how do you use it?   If you own one, would you prefer to delete it?
 

I did notice the delete option is gone on the 2021 configurator.

So I really didn’t care either if I had it or not coming from standard GM tailgates. I was very pleasantly surprised that it comes in handy way more often than I had anticipated. I’m not in construction nor do I use my truck as a “work” truck. I am in the garage (man cave) a lot and my kids love hanging out with dad and listening to music while sitting on the tailgate that’s perfect for them now. I also tow our camper, get groceries and house supplies, move furniture and haul boxes, scrap to the dump. Loading and unloading is more easier with the drop section along with the constant in/out of the bed when un/loading. All in all, it wasn’t a selling point for me in in particular but I’m very glad I have it now.

I thought it was a gimmick, a sham, it was dumb. I like less, unneeded body line breaks. 
 

Its surprisingly a good tailgate, the flip down helps me step up into the bed easier. I did like the bumper steps before the tail gate (had a 2018) and stepping on the tailgate is much better in my opinion. I like my side to side space when stepping up into the bed. 
I have lower back issues, being able to not extend as much loading a 80 pound sack of cement when the gate of the gate is down is nice. 
 

I use it mainly to step up into the bed and I like it. I thought it was stupid when I first seen it and did prefer a solid gate. Now that I have it, it’s nice and convenient.

I like it. Had to pick up ATV ramps that were longer than bed. Put the top part of the gate down only and let the ramps stick out. No worries of them sliding out. Didn't have to leave the tonneau cover unlatched and sitting on ramps. It makes a real comfortable sitting area too.

Same as everybody above. It looked gimmicky at first, but since I wanted other Denali features, I got it.
could not care less of it was there or not.

I have the truck for 9 months now, and almost always, when I need the bed, I use one of the multi-pro configuration. It is so convenient to shorten the gate when loading something heavy, easier to climb the bed - I no longer use the bumper steps, as the gate is better, and it is one great seat when needed. I highly recommend not to delete it, unless you carry an ATV and use ramps more often than other stuff. Ramps can be used with it, but you need to be more careful.

I do like it, and its usefulness has come in handy more than I ever thought it would, but it does still feel kinda cheap to me.  Guess we'll see if it holds up to the test of time

 

Let me also say, I have the Kicker speaker system in my tailgate and its complete GARBAGE!  A small quality portable bluetooth speaker will blow the Kicker system out of the water... and not cost near as much.

I am a big fan of the tailgate. I use it  every time I climb in and out of the bed. Just lowering the inner section makes reaching things in the bed so much easier. I really like being able to flip the step up and carry 8' lumber without an issue. I dont load ATVs so I haven't had to deal with the weight limitations on the inner section.

Too bad they don't offer a power open and close.  I'm spoiled now with that feature on my HC.

    • Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.
    • Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:  
    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
