How Ashland, OH Drivers Get More Done with the 2026 GMC Canyon’s MultiStow® Tailgate

Alpha GMC – How Ashland, OH Drivers Get More Done with the 2026 GMC Canyon’s MultiStow® Tailgate

The MultiStow® Tailgate on the 2026 GMC Canyon is a small idea executed brilliantly, and Ashlan, drivers quickly understand why once they put it to work. Integrated right into the tailgate, this clever, drainable storage compartment becomes the spot for tools that always wander, tie-down straps that need a home, or even muddy trail gear that you want rinsed and ready for the next outing. It frees up the main bed floor for bulkier items, keeps essentials in easy reach, and secures your must-haves under the tailgate while you’re on the move. Coupled with eight standard tie-downs, an available spray-on bedliner, and an available 120V outlet in the bed, the MultiStow® Tailgate amplifies Canyon’s already-smart cargo bed into a more organized, more productive space.

Organization is only part of the equation. The tailgate’s design integrates seamlessly with the Canyon’s broader capability package, so whether you drive an Elevation for daily versatility, an AT4 for backroad confidence, or a Denali for premium comfort, the MultiStow® Tailgate adds day-to-day convenience that you immediately notice. Contractors can keep small parts separated from power tools. Weekend anglers can stash wet gear, then open the drain and rinse it out. Family drivers can assign a “tailgate locker” for sports equipment or emergency supplies, ensuring the rest of the bed stays open for strollers, coolers, or camping bins. And when you pair the tailgate’s smart storage with helpful tech like the ProGrade® Trailering System and available HD Surround Vision, you get both organization you can touch and camera-assisted visibility you can trust while hitching.

  • Daily utility: Store straps, gloves, and hand tools where you’ll always find them.
  • Weekend versatility: Keep fishing waders or muddy boots separate and rinse clean using the integrated drain.
  • Security and access: Lock the tailgate to secure small valuables, then unlock for fast, on-the-go access.
  • Bedspace efficiency: Free the main bed for larger cargo without losing track of small essentials.
  • Family-ready design: Assign the bin for sports gear or roadside kits so the rest of your bed stays tidy.

Because the MultiStow® Tailgate is built into the Canyon’s tailgate structure, you don’t sacrifice bed depth or load flexibility. Need to load lumber or gear that runs long? Use the available half-gate position to stabilize the cargo, tie it down to the Canyon’s standard anchors, and keep your smaller items sealed up in the tailgate bin. If you work after dark, the Canyon’s full LED headlamps and available fog lamps help illuminate your way, while available CornerStep rear bumper cutouts make it easier to climb in and out, especially when you’re wearing work boots. This integrated, purpose-built ergonomics is where the 2026 GMC Canyon stands apart: it doesn’t just add features, it adds solutions that make every trip more productive.

For Ashland-area drivers who cross between job sites and weekend trails, the MultiStow® Tailgate keeps life streamlined. And if your day includes towing a small camper or equipment trailer, the Canyon’s available camera views plus the In-Vehicle Trailering App enhance confidence on the approach and while checking connections. It’s the kind of harmony you want from a modern midsize pickup — capability that shows up in the details you use constantly, not just the specs you quote once.

Ready to see how the MultiStow® Tailgate can change your day? Try loading your normal set of tools, cords, and accessories into the bin during a test drive. Bring that set of awkward items that usually clutters your bed — then watch how the Canyon tucks it all away to free the floor. If you’ve ever wished for a “glovebox for your tailgate,” this is it, and it comes designed for real-world use with that drainable, easy-to-clean construction. One drive is often all it takes to understand why owners call it the feature they didn’t know they needed.

When you’re comparing trucks around Ashland, remember that thoughtful cargo solutions can be the difference between a pickup you like and a pickup you rely on. The Canyon’s MultiStow® Tailgate, paired with its 2-inch factory lift, wide track, and strong TurboMax® performance, creates a platform that works as hard as you do — whether you’re commuting during the week or heading for the lake on Saturday.
