Flexgate

dbdonavan · August 24

Ive recently purchased a 2024 Custom 2500, is it possible to purchase and install a flex tailgate and have it installed?

very tough to do, dont think Ive seen someone do it where it works like factory yet

Possible? This is America, everything is possible.

Adviseable? Meh, that's open to opinion.

Before I got my 24, the dealer had a High Country they wanted to get rid of. It didn't have the multi-flex tailgate which was a no-go for me. They asked me, if they switch the tailgate would I buy? After they researched, I was told the wiring harness and at least one BCM from the factory will not recognize the change.

Thats not to say it can't or won't work. But it's not a plug and play project.

I thought this gate was a gimmick. I have one on my 24 Ultimate and love it. I have a 3500 with 35’s on it and use the gate as a ladder to get in the bed to access my tool boxes. It’s a must have for these tall trucks.

It's good that some people have a use for them, I was lucky I could order my 2020 GMC 3500 DRW. without the multipro. With a fiftwheel or my gooseneck horse trailer they are useless. Good luck with your install.

100%....had it on a 1500 and thought eh, whatever

I have a 2500 now and it doesnt have one, and I need to get into the bed every day

so much so am seriously considering trading in my 23 for a 24

it makes a big difference if you have already used one and need it......the power up feature I have does nothing for me
