Tailgating & Events

More About the Tailgating & Events Driver

The Tailgater needs a vehicle that doubles as a mobile party headquarters - big enough for a grill, a cooler, folding chairs, a canopy, and enough friends to fill out a fantasy league. The GMC Sierra is the go-to: the MultiPro tailgate turns into a built-in serving table, and the CarbonPro bed handles abuse from grills and coolers without a scratch. The Ford F-150 with the PowerBoost hybrid includes Pro Power Onboard - a built-in generator that can run a TV, speakers, and a blender simultaneously.

The Ram 1500 offers the RamBox - lockable, drainable bed-side storage bins that are basically built-in coolers. The Chevrolet Silverado brings a massive bed and available tailgate audio system for when Bluetooth speakers aren't enough. For the SUV tailgater, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition offer cavernous cargo areas and power liftgates that create instant shade.

The Toyota Tundra rounds it out with reliability and a bed big enough for the entire spread. First to arrive, last to leave - that's the Tailgater creed.
