All the Pickup Truck News: Bedtime for the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and More
Let’s talk about beds and how to cover them — we don’t mean, like, duvets and high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets for your California king, of course, but bedding for your pickup truck. First, we’ll chat about how GMC’s new CarbonPro bed option, which goes on sale soon, is made. While that might be one bed worth showing off, lots of truck buyers also consider adding a bed cover: everything from a flush soft tonneau cover to a bed cap as tall as the cab itself — or even taller.

How a CarbonPro Bed Is Made
We were recently invited behind the curtain to see how GMC’s CarbonPro beds are made and tested. Interestingly, the beds are manufactured by a company in Fort Wayne, Ind., instead of directly by GMC, using sheets of carbon fiber shipped from Japan. Following construction and durability testing, the beds are shipped just up the road to GMC’s Fort Wayne assembly plant.
