A7749-P is an auxiliary battery mount. FL1001 is a complete Silverado EV hitch and liftgate system that already includes HiddenPower.
Buy the HiddenPower A7749-P on its own when you want under-truck auxiliary battery storage for a supported application. Review the FL1001 TailoredLift Hitch and Liftgate System when you run a 2024, 2025, or 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV and need liftgate functionality. FL1001 includes HiddenPower auxiliary battery storage as part of the system, so FL1001 buyers do not need to add a separate A7749 unless their configuration or fleet quote specifically calls for one.
These are two different buying decisions. Here is how to tell which one you are making and what to verify before you order.
Two Different Buying Decisions
The A7749-P and the FL1001 share HiddenPower technology, but they solve different problems.
A7749-P is an under-vehicle auxiliary battery mount. It gives you a place to carry an extra 12-volt battery under the truck, out of sight.
FL1001 is a complete upfit for the Silverado EV. It combines a hitch-mounted liftgate installation, the liftgate itself, and HiddenPower auxiliary battery storage that powers the liftgate. A7749 was developed in conjunction with FL1001, which is why the two names show up together.
A7749 alone does not operate a liftgate, and FL1001 is much more than a battery mount with a liftgate attached.
What the HiddenPower A7749-P Is
The HiddenPower A7749-P is an under-vehicle auxiliary battery mount. Current details include:
- No-drill, frame-mounted installation
- Quick-disconnect electrical connector design for battery service
- Compatible with Group 24, Group 27, and Group 31 12-volt batteries for standalone HiddenPower use
- Works with battery types including lead acid, AGM, sealed, and gel cell
- Hidden when installed and designed to preserve ground clearance
- Made in USA
- Torklift International's Legendary Lifetime Warranty on the applicable structural product, with separate warranty terms for the polymer battery box and wiring components
Battery and Wire Harness: What Is Sold Separately
The A7749-P is the mount. The battery is purchased separately.
For the standalone RV auxiliary-battery use path, the HiddenPower Wire Harness is also sold separately. With the harness, the HiddenPower battery can become an extension of your RV's battery system, helping you run 12-volt needs longer while keeping accessory use separate from the truck's starting battery.
Before ordering, plan the complete setup: the mount, a supported battery, and the wire harness if your use calls for it.
Choosing the battery is part of choosing the mount. Group 24, 27, and 31 batteries differ in size and capacity, so decide how much auxiliary power you want and confirm the battery group before you order, then match the battery type to how you plan to charge and use it.
When to Buy A7749-P on Its Own
The standalone A7749-P is the right shopping path when:
- You specifically need a supported under-truck auxiliary battery mount
- You do not need the Silverado EV liftgate system
- Your vehicle and application are confirmed for A7749
- You are building a supported auxiliary-power setup, such as extra 12-volt capacity for RV use
For truck camper and RV owners, that usually means more battery capacity for camping without draining the truck's starting battery, stored under the truck where it stays out of the way.
How HiddenPower Fits Into FL1001
On FL1001, HiddenPower auxiliary battery storage under the bed is the dedicated, separate 12-volt power source for the liftgate. The liftgate operates without relying on the Silverado EV's primary electrical system.
Because FL1001 already includes the HiddenPower solution, a customer buying the full liftgate system should not order a second standalone A7749 unless the current configuration or fleet quote specifically calls for it.
Battery size works differently, too. The standalone A7749 supports Group 24, 27, and 31 batteries, but that does not mean every one of those sizes is approved for FL1001 liftgate operation. FL1001 uses the battery specification listed for the complete liftgate setup.
FL1001 Is a Complete Silverado EV Upfit
FL1001 was engineered by Torklift International specifically for the 2024 to 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV, whose rear structure makes traditional liftgate installation methods impractical. The current setup includes a broader system with features such as:
- A hitch-mounted liftgate installation solution
- The liftgate
- A bed extension
- Towing extension capability
- Auxiliary lighting
- HiddenPower auxiliary battery storage
- A no-splice electrical strategy
Check the current FL1001 product page for the exact included components and ratings for your configuration. As a fleet-focused upfit, FL1001 orders also involve lead time and freight details that Torklift Central's fleet team confirms before purchase.
