The 2019 GMC Sierra's Tailgate!

All this slamming of 1500 short beds--Ugh. I use my truck as a truck...Hauled a ton of wood pellets in the bed, tow a car trailer and an 8000# TT with mine. I'm looking at 2500's for necessity but still will be a short bed. I can haul 10-12 ft stuff in my bed with no problem, if I need more, I take the trailer. My needs necessitate a crew cab which makes the 8 foot bed trucks difficult in the city parking wise...I can't justify buying a car just for my 70 mile commute when my current truck does just fine...And a 2500 will do the same. Some of us are rural folk but work in the city so there's a compromise sometimes. Geez.

I think any pickup bed is a complete joke. They would be destroyed in an hour with what I do with my truck. My Suburban is way more useful than a 1/2 ton pickup.

All I can think about is all the moving parts that are going to not line up right after they get caked in dust and rust. Neat gimmick, but a detriment to the overall functionality and longevity of a truck.

Imagine what a minor hit to the back end is going to cost.

Should be perfect for the mall-crawlers & suburbanites. :laughing:

Totally. Trucks are so domesticated.

GM is the leader in that. "Real people, not actors".
