Chevrolet has long focused on thoughtful utility for its truck lineup, and that attention to detail shines on the Colorado with the available StowFlex Tailgate. Unlike a traditional tailgate, StowFlex adds a lockable, weather-resistant storage compartment right inside the tailgate itself. It’s one more way Colorado brings smart design to work and play, especially for drivers who need to stay organized and efficient on the go.
Benefits Of The Chevy Colorado StowFlex Tailgate
Built-In Storage Where You Need It
The StowFlex Tailgate gives you a hidden, secure storage compartment that’s accessible even when the tailgate is down. Just pull on one of the tabs to open a storage space roughly 45 inches wide and about 4 inches deep — ideal for tools, tie-downs, straps, flashlights, first-aid kits, and other essentials you don’t want rolling around in the bed or cab.
Designed for Real-Life Use
The tailgate’s storage compartment is lockable and drainable, perfect for keeping your items safe and dry, or using it as a cooler on tailgates and outings. You’ll also find helpful extras like a built-in ruler on the edge for quick measurements on jobsites or DIY projects.
Clever Features and Add-Ons
Colorado’s StowFlex can be equipped with additional options, such as a Bluetooth audio system by Kicker, giving you outdoor sound at tailgate tailgates, jobsite breaks, or campsite mornings. And because it’s built into the tailgate, it doesn’t eat up valuable bed space — it’s smart utility that works with your truck, not against it.
Putting It to Use
Whether you’re securing tools between jobsite stops, keeping your gear out of sight overnight, or planning a weekend adventure with drinks and snacks on ice, the StowFlex Tailgate turns wasted space into practical storage. Pair it with Colorado’s best-in-class tie-downs and thoughtful bed features, and you get a midsize pickup that’s ready for work and ready for fun.
The Bottom Line
The StowFlex Tailgate is one of those features you don’t know you need until you use it. It keeps essentials secure, tools handy, and gear organized all without complicating your cargo bed. If intelligent design, real utility, and everyday convenience matter to you, this innovative tailgate earns its place on a hardworking midsize truck.
