I read some older posts that there were no shells that fit the CCSB Sierra 3500 with the multipro tailgate? Briefly looking today at a few manufacturers, I could not find one. Anyone know if this still true or are any available now? I actually don't care much about the tailgate but can not have a truck without a shell on it. It seems the tailgate is standard and you can not get a 2021 without it, so if there are no canopies available then that is a problem for us. Hopefully someone knows for sure. Thanks!

edit: It does seem that some lower trims and low optioned HD trucks can be had without the multipro. But as soon as you add much at all it seems to include a package that has the multipro. Would be nice if the tailgate was its own option that you could use or not on any trim or option level. I don't dislike the multipro, but with much less choice on canopies with it and with not being able to use it with a hitch in the receiver, it seems like many people would just option out of it if they could.

Check ARE. They make a cap for the 1500.

I'm guessing if he's asking, his truck has the multipro

Thanks, I did more research this morning. Yes the 3500 has the multipro. I see that ARE does have a couple that they say fit and I did manage to locate a dealer that carries them. They said that ARE is the only manufacturer that makes any that fit the 2020-21 HD GMC, with the Multipro tailgate, no other company does. Wait right now on an order for one is about 4 months.

I have the 1500 with multipro w/cap and wait was 6 weeks... holy poop 4 months!

His statement said GMC is multipro only.... on 2021... no it is not... he stated he had multi pro... i stated a fact that low trim GMC do not have multi pro

Not sure why caps for the 1500 with MultiPro are more available but very few for the 2500 or 3500. Must be a bed difference.

And yes I did not mean to say that no 2500 or 3500 come without the multipro. I just could not build one without it because it seems that as soon as you add any towing options, etc. it makes you choose a package that includes the multipro. So it does not seem you can order one well optioned and then get the basic tailgate. But I am not 100% sure as I have not been in to a dealer yet. I just wanted to make sure there were at least a couple of options for caps as that is a must have for us.

That confuses me also but it does not matter now that I know at least a couple of shells are available. When building a truck on the GMC site when I selected the options I wanted, eventually I got to a point where the multipro was required unless I deleted certain options or packages. Anyway, thanks, all is good now. I just did not want to buy a specific truck configuration if there were no shells available for it. As long as I go with ARE and am willing to wait, it will work.
