It first launched on the GMC Sierra 1500 pickup under the MultiPro name and is currently offered on the light duty Silverado 1500.

The Multi-Flex features a small inner gate that can be opened independently of the tailgate to create a high central load area for long items, a workspace, cargo stopper, easy bed access or step.
