Watch Us Beat the Crap Out Of the New 2020 GMC Sierra CarbonPro Bed!

( www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and Denali get a new CarbonPro package with a carbon fiber bed, which is supposed to be indestructible. We throw tool boxes & bricks, bash it with a baseball bat in an attempt to damage it.

[@PaulOJazzMusic]

Maybe one day, but right now Carbon Fiber is considered a High End composite due to its low availability, high production cost and difficulty to work with. Carbon Fiber Composites are almost exclusively used in high end applications- think military technology, aerospace engineering, ect. Carbon fiber is hard to work with (from a labor perspective, time consuming) and not an easy material to procure. It requires special resins as well which are not readily available in the industrial composites industry right now (which naturally makes them more expensive.) I'm sure GM had to procure a special mold just to make these beds, and can only have them produced in extremely limited quantities- thus the reason why it is only available on one trim level with two engine combinations (and they chose the most expensive combo because it won't be the best selling due to high price entry point.) Don't be surprised if you don't see these trucks on most dealer lots. In the future, once more applications for this kind of tech open up, prices will eventually come down as better manufacturing techniques are developed and more people manufacture the resins and carbon fibers in larger quantities for lower prices.

Truck bed liner does the exact same thing for a fraction of the cost....

[@wildbill23c]

Exactly....both my trucks have sprayed in bedliners, they work great, no dents, a few scuffs, but typically stuff stays where you put it, at least with the Rhino Lining it seems to be rubberized enough to keep things from sliding around, a great feature that I didn't expect but very welcomed most of the time except when trying to slide stuff in and out of the bed and it won't move LOL.

[@dedalliance1]

A bed liner isn't going to protect your bed from being bent if you hit it hard enough. It just keeps the bed from being rubbed down to bare metal and keeps rust away hopefully. I bet if you put a bed liner on this truck it would make it even better.

[@wildbill23c]

@@dedalliance1 With a plastic bed you just wait for it to crack and shatter, where a bed liner depending on the type may absorb the impact, or dampen it to prevent or lesson the damage that otherwise would have been worse on an un-lined bed. I dented the bed of one of my lined trucks throwing machine gun mounts in it...so yep something heavy will certainly damage it, and nothing they were throwing in that truck bed should cause any significant damage to a truck bed that has been properly lined.

[@dedalliance1]

@@wildbill23c Yeah with a plastic bed it's more likely to shatter and crack with the right kind of force. The interesting test would be to get a piece of the carbon bed and a piece of a steel bed with a liner on it and without a liner and then put them on a hydraulic press until it either deforms to the shape of the press or cracks it. If you did it with a 1" square flat piece of metal for the puncture object on the press that would obviously give you your pounds per square inch that the material can hold up to. I'd probably say the carbon fiber bed would hold up better just because it's thicker and could take more force before breaking, where as metal whether it's aluminum or steal with a liner on it is still going to deform because that's what metal does it likes to bend. Now, a total destruction test on these beds would be to get a air powered or hydraulic hand held jack hammer with a bushing bit and a chisel bit and go to town on each type of bed and see what they look like after. At that point each bed is going to get destroyed pretty much without a doubt, but it's how long it holds up and how bad it breaks in certain areas that's going to be the interesting part. Like Fords Aluminum bed would most likely crack with a chisel bit against it, and with a bushing bit it'd probably start to crack too. A steel bed will deform better but it's not going to last very long either once it has no more elasticity and will puncture, but it's more likely to hold up and not break but will dent. And this Carbon Pro bed would be interesting because I have no idea if it'd just crack or chip out or what. The good thing is it's thicker and wont bend very much or dent, it might compress a little bit but probably not too bad. The down side is, when it cracks it's just going to keep cracking and pieces will fall out of it lol. If I had the money I'd do this test just for fun because I'm curious on how it will hold up. Maybe someone in a couple years will find these trucks in a junk yard and take the beds off and do some tests on them to their breaking point, but it'd be wasteful to do it on a perfectly good truck in my opinion lol.

Yes ,and my mother uses the ridgeline on the farm alot and the rhino bed has held up very well!

[@shitloveaduck]

Toyota Tacoma as well. (Somewhat) I have only seen some used trucks on the lots that have been beat to crap. It looks like that bed does ok as well.

[@jphamon8489]

No other company has a carbon fiber bed but for some reason these guys are saying they do.

[@foxwithshades7080]

Kind of the Honda Ridgeline's bed is made of composite. Carbon Fiber is just a little more fancy and hardened. Both are pretty much plastic tho.

[@shitloveaduck]

JP Hamon the original comment says “similar”.

[@SkinnySkinch]

"Sorry guys... it bounced a little higher than I thought" after watching himself throw every item and see it bounce "higher than he expected" prior to that. hahahahaha wow.

[@caedom21]

I’m impressed. I generally think GM products are just slightly better than crap, but this might be a winner. Now the next question is what does it look like after 10 years in the sun?

[@tubs-nn3yb]

Empty drum is not going to do nothing should have filled it up with water.

[@paintballNERD360]

I'll never understand why GMC puts all of their practical features on their Denalis. Nobody buys Denalis to use them as work trucks!

[@you_cant_see_me_3000]

$$$$$

[@spengg_shell]

That's false

[@muellerpk]

the 2015 sierra bed with the factory denali liner was still pretty tough. i slammed the bed with a 30k loader with forklift attachment on it and it only dented it a little. Just left memories.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

my 87 ranger hauled 2 500cc dirtbikes to the desert for years and I didn't have this. I had a simple drop in liner.

[@jook13]

It seems to double as a trampoline

[@Bobbybeb]

Zebra corner should make a video about this.

[@ezekiellloyd8369]

Yesssss

[@zzsuprazz]

I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma with the composite bed. The composite bed was a great idea. 1 you do not have to worry about the bed rusting out. 2 the composite bed is really durable and will take a lot of abuse. I've only known two vehicles to have the composite bed. 1 was the 2000 Ford Sport Trac, 2nd and 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma.

[@zach5154]

Wait till it’s sitting in the hot sun somewhere south and it melts or wait till you do this test in the winter time let’s see that

[@regsparkes6507]

Use it to pick up scrap metal all over town for a week or so.THEN let's have a look,...that'll convince me!

[@josephg41]

This bed might be very durable, I'm impressed with that, however, I feel like that tailgate will break in a few years of rough use. Especially in my business.

[@dalehovland3283]

How much to replace that tailgate when broken or stolen or damaged.

[@bschell1969]

They are weak

[@josephg41]

@@dalehovland3283 I'm not sure, but it's no doubt more expensive than other brands with all the fancy stuff that's going on with it.

[@randycupp5925]

The funniest thing about this is that you will only see the top of the line most expensive trucks running around with this bed option. All off the long bed regular cab work trucks that will be doing actual work will still have metal beds.

[@ronfad1756]

I want to see the tailgate go through the same test with a full tool box.

[@meatball1080]

Hasn't Toyota been doing this in the Tacoma for the past 15 years? Why is GM touting this as innovative.

[@gpaje]

No, they haven't. The Tacoma innovative? The current Tacoma is about as old school as they come with design and materials used. I think you mean maybe the Honda Ridgeline's bed, and only the last couple of years they have been using a composite material on the bed floor, but not carbon fiber.

[@spengg_shell]

Name one truck that has ever used carbon composites in a bed before....... NOBODY

[@zojojozo86]

ANTHONY FITZGERALD I believe they have a composite bed but not necessarily a carbon fiber composite bed.

[@gpaje]

@@zojojozo86 It's a plastic composite, and only since 2016.

2000 Ford Explorer sport trac, Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline already had a composite bed.

[@chongorlz9716]

Why don’t you hit with your purse Nancy! 🤣

[@scz718645]

Comes out with a new bed that doesn’t damage. Markets it to people who will never use their bed......

[@putmeincoach7663]

Same reason their composite bed flopped in 01. Their marketing team hasn't learned shit in 19 years.

[@bradnoyes7955]

How does it compare to a quality spray in liner like a LineX (Both Price and durability)?

[@pryme2013]

At 9:52 so this thing is so fancy but it doesnt even have a dampened drop? Junk.

[@leestrickland]

Never noticed that before, but you are 100 percent correct! One could assume that it has no keyless/interior button tailgate open option with no dampener.

[@spengg_shell]

If you want a dampened drop open it electronically 🤦‍♂️

[@michaelteeple8704]

They have had dampers on the tailgate for several years. You boys with limp wrists dont pay attention it seems. If you got enough cash I will make it where it opens when your boyfriend shakes his ass at it.

[@terrencejones9817]

They are all Damped.

[@pryme2013]

[@garretlewis4103]

Here would be something interesting to see. “Harry homeowner” goes to the local home store and buys some mulch or bags of concrete for a project. The home store staff suggests loading it with a forklift on a pallet. Lets see how that bed holds up with a loaded pallet drug across it. Plus those pallets probably have a loose nail or two hanging out which would really do some damage. Speaking of damage, I bet repair costs are high if you do damage it!

[@bryanmartinez6600]

People: These guys going to take out a window. Me: If GM let me test a truck they're loosing more than a window.

[@stayunique91]

I have to say I am impressed with all the drop tests. I’d like to see it driven with a steel floor jack in the bed.

[@mountainmanjim6366]

I know of a fork driver at CoPart that would like a go at this bed.. particularly that truck bed... @Goonsquad

[@krystianszymanski1081]

Aren't GM is having class action lawsuit for their diesel fuel pumps?

[@thecliffold5879]

Next innovation from GM; center blocks proof rear windows. Since we can throw our shit back in the truck beds, now rear windows need reinforcements.

[@nathanmccree3089]

Drop a engine in there that the kinda stuff real truck owns well be hauling or rocks an dirty lol or even transmission or something with a little more weight to it

[@bigpaddy8363]

It was hard to watch this smokescreen

[@marv8481]

Take that thing to a local gravel pit and have a novice payload driver drop a ton or more of 1” gravel in the bed. I’m very curious how it would hold up to that. This is also particularly funny when you just ask for 1/2 ton from the small bob cat bucket and they guy hops in the payloader and fills the bed completely up to where it will not hold one more gravel and he says “ we’ll call that 1/2 ton”. The sheet metal in between the supports was nearly caved in. I’ve had 1 ton in the bed and not came close to the bump stops, with this load I was solidly on bump stops

[@user-that1Ron]

Should run this test again in ND in January when it's -20*F outside.

[@whenibecamethesun..8759]

All snowmobile skis are composite...they last forever cpmpared to the old steel ones

Ive been saying it for years now. The Tacoma Carbon fiber bed kicks ass compared to steel and aluminum

[@frankmagana1408]

Thomas Paul tacomas not carbon fiber. Like everything on a toyota its just regular plastic. The GMC is the worlds first pickup with a Carbon Fiber bed

[@thomaspaul2465]

Frank Magana whatever the Tacoma bed is its stronger than aluminum and steel. Ive dropped paving stones and 100 lb railroad tracks in that bed and it doesnt dent. At what point it breaks? Dont know

[@frankmagana1408]

Thomas Paul interesting but ummmm why are you doing with railroad tracks?

[@thomaspaul2465]

Frank Magana cleaning up rental properties you find everything, even a bag of explosives last year. Didnt blow up in the bed though so maybe it would have survived?

[@frankmagana1408]

Thomas Paul jesus what were they planing? Carve a new railroad thru the rockies?

[@46rambo49]

I always have a problem finding the right tie down for a big construction tool box . Lately unistrut up the side seems to work but the new beds have no place to bolt to. Then there is the bounce that puts the material through the power window and screws it all up.
