For decades, a truck tailgate was just a hinged door. It opened, it closed, and that was it. But as trucks have evolved from simple workhorses to versatile daily drivers, Chevrolet has completely reimagined this humble component.
Whether you are a contractor needing a mobile workspace in Orange Park or a DIY enthusiast loading lumber for a weekend project, Chevrolet's innovative Multi-Flex and StowFlex tailgates transform the back of your truck into a multi-functional tool.
Available on the Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500 HD, and Silverado 3500 HD, the Multi-Flex Tailgate offers incredible versatility with six distinct positions:
The mid-size Chevrolet Colorado introduces its own innovation: the StowFlex Tailgate. This feature addresses a common truck problem: where to put small, valuable items. The StowFlex features a lockable, watertight storage bin built directly inside the tailgate itself.
It’s the perfect place to lock away emergency equipment, tow straps, or expensive tools that you don't want loose in the bed while parked at the beach.
The compartment has a drain plug. This means you can fill it with ice and drinks for a tailgate party at the Jaguars game or campsite, and simply drain the water when you're done.
The tailgate surface also features a measuring ruler and cup holders, making it a functional workbench.
Whether you're at TIAA Bank Field or a Gators game, these tailgates are the center of attention. The Multi-Flex step provides seating, and the StowFlex acts as a built-in cooler.
Loading mulch, drywall, or furniture is physically easier when you can use the Multi-Flex step to walk right into the bed rather than climbing over the side.
For professionals in Jacksonville, the Multi-Flex work surface turns the back of your Silverado into a mobile office for signing invoices or reviewing plans.
Chevrolet offers different tailgate technologies depending on the model. Here is a quick guide to help you find the right truck:
The full-width step on the Silverado Multi-Flex tailgate is rated to support up to 375 pounds, making it robust enough for most users carrying heavy gear.
The StowFlex compartment in the Colorado is watertight and includes a drain, making it suitable for wet or dry storage.
Yes! The Multi-Flex tailgate on the Silverado is compatible with the available Kicker® audio system. This Bluetooth weather-resistant system is built directly into the inner gate, perfect for worksites or campsites.
You need to flip, fold, and step on these tailgates to truly appreciate how much easier they make life with a truck. Visit Gordon Chevrolet in Orange Park today to test these features for yourself. Our team will show you every configuration and help you find the perfect truck for your needs.
