It was my understanding that GM had fixed the issue of the fancy tailgate opening when there is a hitch in the receiver. Was I dreaming?

I use a pin I got from Tailgatefix.com on mine. Easy installation.

You can also hold the tailgate button for about 3 seconds, until the tail lights flash to quasi "lock out" the MultiFlex portion from opening.   Once locked out, to get it to function again you'll hold the button for about  3 seconds until the tail lights flash again.

I purchased a B&W MultiPro Stow & Go hitch (TS20067BMP) that is made for this tailgate.  I set the height of the ball to work with all my trailers.  I love it.

Very good to know!  Is this described in the owners manual?  Which “tailgate button” does this?  Main? Multiflex?  Dash?  Thanks

Yes, the 2022 Owner's Manual covers all the functions/switches of the Multiflex tailgate starting on page 27.  According to the OM on page 27, there are switches in the tail gate that don't allow the main tail gate to open if the inner gate is not fully closed.

Page 29 of the Owners Manual covers the "Multiflex Enable/Disable"  function.  It uses the top button (inner gate button).  

 

When I have the rear hitch in, I disable the inner gate, and so far, it has worked as advertised.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      1Based on independent testing of OE 0W-20 in the Peugeot TU3M Wear Test as required by the dexos1 Gen 2 specification.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
