2021 Kicker Multipro Tailgate System HELP!!!

So I had a 2020 GMC AT4 with the multipro tailgate for about 6 weeks before someone ran a stop sign and totaled it. I had ordered a bass boat to match the truck so as soon as it was totaled I was on the hunt for a replacement of the EXACT same truck. I ended up finding one states away that showed up 2 weeks after the initial delivery date and I had rescheduled my flight to go get it 4 times. When it did finally come in I flew down to get it on a Saturday and the dealership did not have time to install the kicker system in the tailgate on this truck but I told them no big deal because I knew i install it with no issues. Now this new truck is a 2021 instead of a 2020 but I don't see where anything has changed in the tailgate. Well of course if I'm posting this I have an issue...LOL

 

I was able to install all the brackets, components and wires with no issues  but when it came to the final step of hooking up the kicker panel and installing it, it will not fit. I have attached a picture of the instructions and you can see in that picture the panel has a recessed area in the middle to go around the bolts. It also has double holes that you have to drill in the tailgate to install. The panel that came in the GM box does not have the recessed edges for it to fit. It also has one hole between the speakers and the double holes on the ends of the panel do not even line up with the holes in the tailgate. I'm thinking that this is a panel that goes to a different vehicle...but how could that be? Do any other vehicles even have this kicker setup?

The part number listed on the box seems correct but that panel definitely different from the one on my 2020 Sierra Denali. There are two screws in each section on my panel. If you compare the plastic section from the the top edge to the top of the speaker grill, it appears shorter on your new part. How about the length of it from end to end?  Has GM announced Kicker tailgate speakers for the Silverado Multiflex tailgate or even another truck like the Hummer or Colorado? Maybe it's been re-boxed and you have the wrong part. Hope your dealership can resolve it. Keep us posted.

 

Here's a pic of my speakers.

Seems to be a part/box mix-up because that appears to be the one for the HD pickup tailgate!kicker.jpg.866dfa0419afba1827fa1c2145bda7f1.jpg

My local dealership has a new one for me to come pickup but I had been trying to figure out what the heck mine fit. Now I know!

I faced the same problem about half a year ago.
I received a panel by mail that simply did not fit my car, I could not do anything about it, I will be glad if there is someone here who solved this problem!

If it's an official GM part just go to your local dealer, that's what I did.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
