Just picked up a 2022 sierra and it happens to have this feature. I didn't particularly go out of my way to get it, but I can see the appeal. It's definitely not required, but it's a nice luxury.
Ok, "workstation," means workbench, to a guy like me who actually uses a truck as a trades person vehicle. I don't think GM meant a place to work with your laptop and enjoy your latte.
Also discovered that was not mentioned in your video is if you press the bottom button then immediately press the top button it will not only open the tailgate but will also open the the top half giving access to use the step
I just bought the new 2022 GMC Sierra Limited, and I forgot how to use the function you showed on the video at 1:56. I was trying to show someone how it worked, and I failed miserably. Thanks for your video.
If you tow all the time and leave your hitch in, I can see some dents in this gate. If towing isn't an everyday thing, though, I can see some aspects of it being pretty convenient. The good news is that if you hate all the options, you just don't have to use them. Just use it like a normal tail gate.
Damn man you really don't think 375lbs is enough of a useful weight rating for that step??? I weigh 225lbs so I'd have to be carrying something that weighs MORE than 150lbs in my arms and step up there to even begin to worry about breaking it. How often is that going to happen? That step is small enough that I'll bet you'll never have two dudes on there at the same time that will break it. I just don't see it as a concern. That's plenty of capacity for that tiny step. And it won't let you drop the full tailgate with the little half step already down because if you had a trailer attached already then you'd probably smash the little step on the hitch so it's like that to protect people from themselves and messing up their truck.
there are some cool features built into the Tailgate but i must be honest i’ve had quite a few GeneralMotors Vehicles over the years and the disappointing things are because they generally use Inferior products on parts that just don’t hold up over time so the whole Tailgate has me thinking it won’t last working the way it’ was intended for example my 3500 Chevy Dually Deisel Truck that was purchased new to pull my toys like a 5th WheelCamper , and some boats on trailers that were way Under the Weight ratings keep in mind this Truck was never a Work Truck or Abused in any manner as a matter Of Fact it has a Centurion Conversion on it and with the CustomPaint and Leather Interior the Truck was really used like a Luxury Car would be treated most of the time , despite that the factory Tailgate handle stopped working correctly because a lever that disengages the strikes that keep the gate in the closed position ? now i’ve had Ford Work Trucks that were abused by loading and Unloading loads of dirt in the beds with Heavy Machinery and those Tailgates and Mechanisms worked for years my Chevy doesn’t have a scratch or dent on it and the Tailgate won’t operate without using a pair of Pliers or your fingers into a opening to squeeze some sharp metal in hopes it will release the gate ? try to justify that to your Wife when she wants to use the truck to pickup a large or heavy item at the store she bought and she knows that Truck was 25 Grand more than her Mercedes automobile it’s rediculous another cheap part they put on that vehicle is the switches on the doors that turn the overhead dome lights on and off are Plastic that get weak and break it’s just a inconveinence. but when you are out at nighttime with the family you kind of expect those lights to come on and go off with the doors Yes i can go by the Dealership and pick up new replacement ones for 30 bucks each and replace them myself but they are the same plastic ones that are going to break just as fast plus usually not in Stock hell i have Antique cars that came with metal ones are almost 60 years old and still have the original ones working ? and those are inBritish Cars that are notoriously known to have ElectricalFaults and Issues which BTW is true but is mostly because of rust issues due to the way the British used to pretreat the metal before Paint
Who in the world were you wearing the mask for????? I mean you better make sure no one touches your truck!! Oh! Let's not forget the money in your pocket! (Very bad for germs)
You don't know too many people who work on the back of a pickup truck tail gate. Obviously you have never drilled, sawed, or hammered in your life. Son go back to Starbucks with your lap top.
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff
I’ve reported you to Governor Newsom. Mask or not, you shouldn’t have been outside. Even a light breeze could’ve carried your cooties to your neighbors house.
Sorry its only my opinion. But the Engineer that designed the tail gate needs to have his ass removed. I own a 2021 Denali 3500 SRW long bed and that tail gate sucks. It you use a constant Hitch the idea is worthless.
As soon as I saw the guy wearing a mask OUTSIDE then saw the California license plates it all made sense…
Yeah. Look at me world, I’m a d@mb f@ck
That bothers you? Snowflake
Was thinking same thing!
outside and by himself..
Hell yeah brother gonna look baller af using that at Walmart to load a 24 pack of toilet paper.
That’s a cute mask…you’re alone right wearing a mask? Oh and of course can’t forget the California license plate 🤦♂️
Same thought …..🤔🤔
Protecting others for his protection lol
I was looking for this comment before I did it myself. What an idiot.
“ you could put your laptop up here” ? 🤣😂😂🤣😂

If you press the bottom button on the tailgate and quickly press the top one they will both open at the same time.... YOUR WELCOME!!!!
Exactly! He never mentions that.

I laughed at that too
I'D USE IT MORE FOR SOUNDS ANYWAY, TAILGATE PARTIES ARE THE SHIZNITS!! GO TO SOUND SHOP, 600 WATTS
Actually in the trades, I use a laptop in the field and I do use it for the computer. Now I don’t have the latte with it though
@@Rkeister1
I’m old enough to remember when people used the hood as a “workstation”. What’s next, a fold out table for your saw and lunchtime?
Also discovered that was not mentioned in your video is if you press the bottom button then immediately press the top button it will not only open the tailgate but will also open the the top half giving access to use the step
Mask outside……true hero

If you have a hitch in it won't let you use the top button so not an issue after 2019.
@@andyp1867 Nice to know!
I'm not sure you need a mask for this video
Why in the mother of pearl are you wearing a mask?🤣
Why is he wearing that mask?
He’s probably that guy that wears it while he’s driving alone in the car as well
I was looking for a truck with this feature but it's a lot of money for something that doesn't look that practical, thanks for the video.
B&W makes a hitch that will allow the tail gate to go all the way down.
"I don't know anyone who uses their tailgate for working" obviously never seen a construction site
I knew this review wasn’t for me as soon as I saw this guy wearing a face mask out doors with no one els present. 🤦♂️🤣
The 7th way is slamming your brand new tailgate into the metal receiver lol
Why are you wearing a mask in a video by yourself at you own house?
why do you have a mask on outside alone?
Button order on tailgate is so you don’t open both hatches with a tow hitch on sad design flaw, but you will damage your tailgate latch
Maskurbater
Can the tailgate be locked to prevent others from opening?
I have my tailgate down alot in the winter for trucking my snowmobile. Hope that it's not alot more susceptible to road salt than a regular tailgate.🤞
hi, does it shows a sign/warning if the tailgate is open? just like doors/ajar warning?
Why are is he’s wearing a mask?
What year did the SLE have this multi-functional tailgate?????
You are wearing a mask, outdoors, all by yourself.
Two thousand dollar tailgate. I wouldn’t pay for that option. If it was $1899.00 maybe
Why are you wearing a mask?
I dented my tailgate because I had the trailer stinger in. you can not drop the step down with stinger in or you will dent your tailgate
Anyone know the measured distance from the cab to the load stop when the tailgate is down? How much of an extension is that?
Nice mask
Outdoors, alone, with a mask on...whatever
id imagine if you set your other hand om the rest of the tailgate, the folding piece would swing up effortlessly
Work station he says throw your laptop up it it's like a desk😂😂😂 that's for construction work and such not office work 😂😂😂
Why are you wearing a mask outside or anywhere for that matter .. couldn't watch because of this
You forgot to mention the grab handle.
How much you paid out the door of dealer ?
Damn man you really don't think 375lbs is enough of a useful weight rating for that step???

And you can't use the step with a ball in the receiver. Bad design.

I get it... you're a Ford guy and you don't like Chevy. Ha ha!
Bro was wearing a mask😂
I stopped watching the video as soon as I saw you wearing a mask.
No the reason you can NOT close it, is that the motor use to do that go es bad very fast!!!
Do you truck much?
Every single person I know uses their tailgate as a workbench.
Who in the world were you wearing the mask for????? I mean you better make sure no one touches your truck!! Oh! Let's not forget the money in your pocket! (Very bad for germs)
Good video, weirdo with a mask is definitely creepy.
Dude lose the mask
Well, you’re wearing a mask so I can’t take you seriously.
I would trade a straight axle front for the stupid tailgate any day !!!
Trade it then....
Mask outside? Was that ever a thing? Or are there forest fires or pollen? Asking for a friend.
I still think tundras is a much better buy!!! Everything USA brand is garbage Toyota is seriously good

He said essentially the same thing - seems your comprehension and retention skills have been over taken by your keyboard asshole skills.
@@mtnbiker014 Really well lets hear what you opinion is on the tail is??

Soon to be copy in China
Nice covid mask. Get a real tailgate, and while youre at the dealer get a life too

Right it’s your opinion but guys like myself love ours. Why not take yours back because you knew about it before buying.
