As trucks become more and more powerful, have greater and greater tow ratings, and prepare to welcome the arrival of electrification, our loyal customers here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis have been inquiring frequently about the 2022 Silverado HD. The same great personality and capability will be evident on this model, as well as the addition of the six-function Multi-Flex Tailgate.
This very popular and useful feature offers up six distinct settings that make it easier to use and provide simple access to the truck bed. This already heavy-duty truck that already has bragging rights to the best-in-class volume on the market thanks to Durabed just got massively better, and now has an even more versatile day-to-day usefulness. One of the best features is the new tailgate's ability to switch between settings with the key fob, letting you decide on what's best for current conditions before you even reach the truck. The tailgate sees two buttons mounted on it to toggle through modes, as well as a button on the instrument panel in the cabin.
The primary gate consists of the very basic up/down tailgate setting, followed by the primary gate load stop and inner gate load stop, which is where things get quite a bit easier for allowing cargo in the bed to be completely secure. The full-width step setting can support up to 375 lbs of weight independently, and the easy access mode allows you to fold down the inner gate to allow you to quickly grab tools or gear from the protected bed. So many new workers have joined the ranks of those who work from home in fields such as real estate and surveying this past year, loving the addition of a solid truck model to their productivity and flexibility.
Having the space of the tailgate is an excellent way to create a roving area to work from and tie up loose ends while completing projects in the field. A leaked drawing found by GM Authority shows a bit more of a conventional grill for the 2022 Silverado, squared off with new air intakes directly below the headlights. Don't forget to check out awesome add-ons such as the Liner Protection Package, which provides wheelhouse and floor liners, color-keyed carpeting, and all-weather floor liners that can withstand a beating from the harshest of elements!
Anyone who's already rightfully excited about the Multi-Flex Tailgate will definitely want to have keen eyes on the Trailering Package: there is the inclusion of hitch guidance, a 2” receiver hitch, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, a 7-wire electrical harness, and a 7-pin sealed connector for the lights and brakes. The Work Truck Fleet Package allows you to revel in tough-duty essentials such as a 220-amp alternator, OnStar, 120-volt power outlet, and semi-automatic air conditioning to cool you down appropriately while hard at work on the day's demands!
