Grand Island GMC – Why Aurora, NE Drivers Rely on the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500’s MultiPro Tailgate and Trailering Tech
For many truck owners around Aurora, NE, capability is measured by how well a pickup turns everyday jobs into simple tasks. That’s where the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 shines, thanks to its world’s first six-function MultiPro™ tailgate and an available ProGrade® Trailering System that helps make hitching, checking, and hauling more intuitive. Whether you’re backing into a driveway with landscaping supplies or lining up for a weekend towing run, these innovations reduce steps, add precision, and build confidence.
MultiPro and ProGrade aren’t gimmicks—they’re tools designed to work the way you do. The MultiPro tailgate transforms quickly to create a primary gate, a full-width step, a load stop for long materials, and a configurable work surface. The ProGrade Trailering System integrates with the Sierra’s 13.4-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in and the available In-Vehicle Trailering App to provide custom trailer profiles, status checks, and checklists that keep you organized. Pair these features with the available TurboMax™ engine’s best-in-class standard torque of 430 lb-ft or the available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel’s confident towing demeanor, and you get a truck built to handle real-world demands with ease.
- Primary Gate and Load Stop: Use the main gate for typical loading, then flip the integrated load stop to secure longer items.
- Full-Width Step: Drop the inner gate to form a sturdy step that makes bed access quicker and safer.
- Work Surface: Configure the inner gate as a desk-height platform for a laptop, paperwork, or tools.
- ProGrade Integration: Create trailer profiles, run checklists, and view status updates right on the in-vehicle screen.
- Trailer Brake Controller: Integrated with ABS to help deliver measured brake force to compatible trailer brakes.
Owners who value organization will also appreciate how the MultiPro tailgate pairs with the available MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by KICKER for campsite sound, and how the available CarbonPro® composite bed resists dents and corrosion while offering best-in-class short bed cargo volume. The Sierra’s available 12.3-inch Driver Information Center and optional Head-Up Display add clarity to key information, while available Super Cruise® lends hands-free convenience on compatible roads, including certain towing scenarios. It’s the sum of these thoughtful systems that turns demanding tasks into repeatable routines, so you can focus on the job, not the logistics.
AT4 and AT4X models further enhance confidence with off-road suspension tuning, a two-speed Autotrac® transfer case, underbody skid plates, and—on AT4X—Multimatic® DSSV dampers and front and rear electronic locking differentials. Add Hill Descent Control and selectable Traction Modes and you’ll find that the same truck that makes home projects simpler can also handle backroad weekends and challenging work sites. For many drivers, that versatility is the difference between a truck that just looks capable and a truck that truly is.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the MultiPro tailgate differ from a traditional tailgate?

It integrates trailer profiles, status checks, and checklists, plus works with the in-vehicle display. When combined with the integrated trailer brake controller and available camera views, it streamlines the entire towing process.
Which engine pairs best with frequent towing?
The available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel impresses with smooth, sustained torque for long-distance towing. The TurboMax™ engine also delivers strong low-end response with best-in-class standard torque, making it a solid choice for versatile duty.
