Tailgating & Football Season: The Ultimate Game Day Vehicles
By Nalley Automotive
Fall in Georgia means football season. Whether you're heading downtown to tailgate near Mercedes-Benz Stadium or driving to Athens or Atlanta for a Saturday college game, having the right tailgate setup makes all the difference.
A great tailgating vehicle requires more than just a big trunk. You need convenient power outlets, hands-free cargo access, flexible seating layouts, and ample towing capacity for game-day trailers. Nalley Automotive Group showcases top game-day SUVs and crossovers.
Must-Have Features for Game Day Host Vehicles
- Onboard AC Power Inverters (120V Outlets): Built-in household-style 3-prong electrical outlets let you power slow cookers, flat-screen TVs, blenders, and speaker systems directly from your vehicle without hauling a noisy generator.
- Split Tailgates & Low Load Floors: Split tailgates provide a sturdy, built-in bench seat that shelters you from light rain, while low rear load heights make lifting heavy coolers effortless.
- Hands-Free Power Liftgates: When carrying folding tables, chairs, and tailgate gear, sensor-activated power liftgates let you open the rear hatch with a swipe of your foot.
