Four-wheel-drive, towing, bed storage. The tailgate tool has been a particular focus of late as manufacturers have debuted soft-drop tailgates, remote-drop tailgates, tailgates with steps, and multi-purpose tailgates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Jaws dropped (literally, the theme of an ad campaign) as General Motors Co. debuted the six-way GMC MultiPro Tailgate and Chevy Multi-Flex tailgates. Stellantis NV&#8217;s Ram took a different approach with the Multi Function Tailgate that opened as 60-40 split cabinet doors. Even the midsize Honda Ridgeline gets into the act with a side-hinged tailgate that can both drop down \u2014 or open like door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Ford Motor Co., a pickup maker before pickups were cool, brings the newest entrant to the pickup party with its Pro Access Tailgate on the 2024 Ford F-150.

Pickups \u2014 and their SUV brethren \u2014 are expected to house picnics, big screen televisions, and barbecue grills.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<div id=\"ad-slot-7103-mi-detroit-C1561-native-article_link-money-autos-2\" class=\"gnt_x_sl gnt_x_al\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"llx\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tailgating is synonymous with football, but the practice pre-dates the pigskin, historian Tonya Williams Bradford, a University of California Irvine marketing professor, told Popular Mechanics: \u201cTailgating. . . didn\u2019t necessarily start with sports.
