With the 2022 NFL draft set to take place later this month, it’s never too early to start planning for the regular game season. After getting tickets and all your Detroit Lions gear, the recipe for an amazing football game starts with an equally spectacular tailgate party.

Here are tips for making sure your tailgate experience is one for the record books.

Keep on truckin’!

The base of any tailgate party starts with securing the proper vehicle, ideally a pickup truck with ample space to fit all the essentials. A truck like the Chevrolet Silverado comes equipped with a durable flatbed that will hold not only food, drinks, and coolers, but also keep your grill from causing any damage or dents throughout the day’s festivities. In addition, the Silverado has three bed sizes (standard, long, and short bed) to accommodate all your tailgate needs whether you're pre-gaming with a small crew or the entire squad.

Flex it if you got it!

Not all truck tailgates are created equal. To get the most out of your parking lot fiesta, having a versatile tailgate on your truck will make sure all your needs are satisfied. The Silverado features a Multi-Flex tailgate, which is available on 1500, 2500 HD, and 3500 HD trucks. The design boasts six different functions, all outfitted to help improve loading, unloading, and accessing all the equipment, munchies, and beverages in your tailgate extravaganza.

You’ve got the power!

You never want the party to run out of steam - or power - before you do. Making sure you have enough juice to run televisions, speakers, crockpots, laptops and smartphones is tantamount to keeping the tailgate going for hours. The Silverado is outfitted with 120-volt power outlets rated for 400 watts, which will keep the party lit until the sun goes down. And once that happens, the Silverado keeps the fun going with LED lights around the hitch, cargo box, and exterior of the truck.

Pump up the jam!

Whether playing rock, country, rap, or something else, making sure your tunes sound their best while throwing back burgers and beers is a tailgate must. The Silverado allows you to crank up the music through its stainless steel speaker grills with a Bose premium audio system, or with the Chevrolet Accessories Multi-Flex Tailgate Speaker System by Kicker. The Bluetooth speaker system can be purchased as an add-on feature and includes a weatherproof amplifier hidden in the tailgate. Turn it up!
