Rumors rapidly turned into real-world sightings, and now Chevrolet has revealed (kinda) that the Multi-Flex tailgate is coming to the Silverado. To avoid any perceived confusion, Chevrolet is not using the [MultiPro]() nameplate and is instead calling its version “Multi-Flex.” While this is not exactly the most creative name on the planet, it does help add some differentiation between the two trucks and establishes a distinct identity. For those who are familiar with how GMC’s MultiPro works, the Chevy system will be a welcome degree of familiarity. In addition to a single photo, Chevrolet released a brief video clip showing all the same six configurations from MultiPro are present and accounted for. [Embedded video]() ### **The bottom line on the Chevy Multi-Flex tailgate** The new tailgate will be available on early 2021 Silverado models, but Chevrolet is not formally unveiling the new feature until September 21. When that happens, we hope to hear more information on pricing, as well as what Silverado trims can be equipped with the Multi-Flex tailgate. **Related posts:** > [GMC Announces 2020 Sierra HD Model Pricing]() > [‘MultiFlex’ tailgate coming to Chevrolet according to new report]() > [2019 Ram 1500 Multifunction Tailgate – Rivals GMC]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/" }, "author": { "name": "Pickup Truck + SUV Talk Staff", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/38bee4cf175c90f0da792cb170290a6c" }, "headline": "Chevrolet flexes its tailgate muscle with Multi-Flex", "datePublished": "2020-09-16T20:56:47+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:18:00+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/" }, "wordCount": 233, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-Multi-Flex-Tailgate.jpg", "keywords": [ "2021 silverado", "2021 silverado multi-flex tailgate", "chevrolet multi-flex", "chevrolet silverado multi-flex", "multi-flex", "multi-flex tailgate", "MultiPro" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/", "name": "Chevrolet flexes its tailgate muscle with Multi-Flex", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/09/chevrolet-flexes-its-tailgate-muscle-with-multi-flex-tailgate/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2021-Chevrolet-Silverado-Multi-Flex-Tailgate.jpg", "datePublished": "2020-09-16T20:56:47+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:18:00+00:00", "description": "Chevrolet confirms whirlwind of rumors, with announcement of Multi-Flex tailgate.
