Save your GMC MultiPro or Chevy Multi-Flex tailgate from damage with this sensor. Working in sync with the truck's electronics, the sensor prevents the inner tailgate from folding down when a ball mount or other accessory is in your hitch.
Mine is erratic in its operation. Most of the time it does not prevent the upper tailgate from opening when the sensor cover is in the open position (ie. a hitch assembly is installed in the vehicle receiver). That is exactly the operation that this device is supposed to prevent. It also seems to create some confusion with my truck as after it incorrectly allowing the upper tailgate to open, at times it will not ally my full tailgate to open even though the tail lights blink etc in response to me pushing the full tailgate button on the tailgate. I think this device creates a false sense of security the way it operate in my case. Perhaps the magnetic switch in the cover is malfunctioning.
I installed this a year ago, and it has worked flawlessly. My truck is always outside and the winter in Nebraska was very cold this year, but the plastic has held up. I have towed with it around 10 times in the last year, so the cover does not get operated every day, but it is still like new. I doubt it would survive something hitting it, but with normal operation, it is as sturdy as it needs to be. Overall, the installation was easy, and it does what it is supposed to do. I can't ask for more than that.
Concept is good. Device works well initially. Second trip one side of the hinge (plastic) that holds the cap broke while driving down the highway. The cover is open when a hitch is installed. Not a robust design. If the cap fails completely, the inner tailgate will not open.
Real happy with the product. Works as d escribed.
Still working great. No trailer hitch dents in my tailgate.
Product was an easy install about 30 minutes and works like a champ. Only issue I have is unplugging the outer latch . Theres no reason for that.
Works as advertised. Fairly simple to install.Instructions fairly easy to follow. Tools needed are outlined in the instructions.
Works well , wish I could have got wireless control, easy install
Well, I just bought a new to me 2020 GMC sierra SLT and that’s when I found out about the problem of damaging the tailgate with the trailer hitches. Well I shopped around and I looked at the other ones and they all worked based off whether or not you had the pin in and that is not enough security, this one works off of the cap or cover being open. In my opinion you could still damage your tailgate on the other ones because you may have forgot to put the pin in but on this one if that caps open the top tailgate will not drop.So in theory, this is the best tailgate protection. I installed it today and It worked perfectly immediately . I think I installed it in 15 minutes . Now let’s see what I think about it in a year.
A well-designed product that fixes the multi-tailgate issue with the trailer hitches installed so that you don't smash in your tailgate. This was the best system in my opinion as you don't have to cut or splice any wires. Takes a little bit of effort to install but well worth it.

It works great. Im glad that I purchased this product. All of the connections using factory wiring and no splicing.
Still waiting for the Demco reed switch.
Everything was quick and easy but on the MY GMC side product wont review or show for purchasing with my reward points. Not your issue but would have been nice to be able to do that transaction with or thru GMC. I have ordered several things thru your site over many years and never an issue or quality problem. Thank you all, a very pleased customer.
Love the concept and it works except the cap hinge is flimsy and one side already broke. Wish they would sell replacement parts. Easy install.
Great product
