Possible?  This is America, everything is possible.  

Adviseable? Meh, that's open to opinion.  

Before I got my 24, the dealer had a High Country they wanted to get rid of.  It didn't have the multi-flex tailgate which was a no-go for me.  They asked me, if they switch the tailgate would I buy?  After they researched, I was told the wiring harness and at least one BCM from the factory will not recognize the change.

 

Thats not to say it can't or won't work.  But it's not a plug and play project.

I thought this gate was a gimmick. I have one on my 24 Ultimate and love it. I have a 3500 with 35’s on it and use the gate as a ladder to get in the bed to access my tool boxes. It’s a must have for these tall trucks.

It's good that some people have a use for them, I was lucky I could order my 2020 GMC 3500 DRW. without the multipro.  With a fiftwheel or my gooseneck horse trailer they are useless.  Good luck with your install.

100%....had it on a 1500 and thought eh, whatever

I have a 2500 now and it doesnt have one, and I need to get into the bed every day

 

so much so am seriously considering trading in my 23 for a 24

 

it makes a big difference if you have already used one and need it......the power up feature I have does nothing for me

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter
