Route 1 Chevrolet - Why Drivers Around Beecher, IL Choose the Silverado 1500’s Multi-Flex Tailgate and Trailering Tech

When a truck is part of your daily routine, the right tools matter. That is why so many drivers near Beecher appreciate how the Silverado’s available Multi-Flex Tailgate and advanced trailering technologies simplify real-world tasks. From quick DIY projects to full worksite days, these features are designed to save time and build confidence, all while serving Beecher, Manteno, and Bradley with the kind of versatility that makes a difference Monday through Sunday.

The Multi-Flex Tailgate is more than a tailgate. It is a smarter way to load, organize, and access cargo that reduces the awkward reaches and guesswork typical of traditional beds. Pair it with the Durabed’s 12 standard tie-downs and best-in-class cargo volume, and you have a flexible system that adapts to the way you work. Add in available power up/down functionality and an available 120-volt bed outlet, and jobs that used to need extra trips or extra hands can get done in fewer steps.

  • Primary gate: Opens from the key fob, a switch inside the cabin, or a button on the gate for quick, one-hand access.
  • Primary gate load stop: Helps prevent longer items like lumber or ladders from sliding out.
  • Easy access: Folds the inner gate to shorten reach, so grabbing gear near the cab is simpler.
  • Full-width step: Creates a wide, sturdy step rated to hold up to 375 lbs. for confident bed access.
  • Inner gate load stop: Helps secure second-tier items so you can safely stack more.
  • Inner gate with work surface: Provides a flat space for a laptop, blueprints, or labeling packages on site.

Towing brings its own challenges, and the Silverado’s available trailering technologies meet them head-on. With up to eight cameras offering as many as 14 views, you can check the hitch alignment, monitor the truck’s sides, and keep an eye inside the bed while underway. The available Trailering App streamlines setup and the daily routine with custom trailer profiles, a pre-departure checklist, and trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring that can alert you before small issues become big problems. On compatible roads, available Super Cruise® with trailering on High Country can manage steering and speed to help reduce fatigue on long hauls.

These features stand out not just for what they do, but for how naturally they fit into busy lives. The camera views reduce guesswork when backing a trailer into a tight driveway. The load stops and step in the tailgate take strain out of repetitive tasks. The Trailering App documents each trailer’s settings so you can switch quickly from a boat to a work trailer without re-learning your setup. When your truck does this much, you get your time back.

Still deciding which configuration makes the most sense for your day-to-day? Our team understands how details like gear ratios, suspension tuning, and camera packages translate into real-world ease.
