The sale of GMC's carbon fiber layer will become obsolete in June

Last March, GM proudly announced the launch of the all-new 2019 GMC Sierra pickup truck, featuring the world's first carbon fiber truck tray, a rugged but lightweight material typically reserved for expensive sports cars. A year later, the option will finally be available this summer.

The CarbonPro bed will be put into production in early June, according to GMC. It will be available on the Denali 1500 and AT4 1500 models only at a small number of dealerships at the start, and its commissioning will continue in the coming year. Prices have not yet been announced, we will have to wait to see if it is worth it.

GMC claims that the new carbon bed is better than traditional steel because it naturally resists corrosion and is 25% lighter, which saves around 60 lbs. and more durability. It also appears that the total load volume in the bed area increases by one cubic foot.

As part of its durability tests, GMC claims to have directed the escape of a portable generator to the bed, to have driven a snowmobile equipped with metal studs at full speed and dropped cinder blocks, steel drums. 450 pounds and 1,800 pounds of gravel on the material.

One of the supposed benefits of a carbon bed also lies in the fact that you no longer need a bed cover to insert, nor wheelhouse liners because the material is supposed to be sufficiently resistant to bumps.

GMC says it's "the most scuff, bump and corrosion-resistant pickup bed in the industry" and joins the new MultiPro six-way folding tailgate in the company's heats.

Now, there is no more than an exhaust lined with gold foil.
