My cousin just bought a brand new GMC Denali. He is very proud of the tailgate. However it doesn’t work if you have a ball and hitch attached to the receiver.

Yeah, that thing would last about 3 days into corn planting for me before I’d have to start beating the shite out of it for it to work due to dust.

Tailgate and the commercial for it is a fricking joke. But the bigger problem is the front of the truck. It looks like shite. Like a retard tried to copy a Ford.

I’ve been driving GM products since 93 and the front of the 19s is an abortion. GM needs to fire their design team.

Pretty sure it still functions as a regular tailgate if you have a receiver hitch attached. Just gives you more options when you don’t have a hitch installed.
My wife’s Yukon has a sunroof but you can’t drive it in the rain or through a car wash with it open without getting wet.

IMO only, yes, I think GM is trying to replicate the Ford front end.

Huge swing and a miss too.

The 2019 Sierras and Silverados look just like the F-150s

They’re trying to copy Ford since the f-150s sell so well. Dodge is doing the same

I love GMC's, however this is ugly and a gimmick. Probably a $1000 add on, too.

From Ice Cream Sammich in September:

Saw a picture of the new GM tailgate the other day. It opens 4-5 different ways, one of the ways will destroy itself if you have a trailer hitch in the bumper. Let me see if I can find it.

What’s the point then with the foot hole on the side in the bumper?

Why can’t mother frickers just skip jump up on the tailgate and rake their chins and split their pants like I have done for 30 years?

Are we not men anymore?

Just for when you need to reach something in the bed- like a beer in an ice chest that slid to the middle.
