Trying to hold out for the new year as I have a feeling something new may be coming, but been tempted on getting the GM hard cover with these discounts they are offering! Anyone know of a good toolbox option for the carbonpro bed? Looking to get some storage options! Only thing I’ve seen tht may work is the under tonneau tool box on the gm site, an not even sure that will work!

I’m in the process of trying to decide between the Carbon Pro vs just getting the AT4 with the spray in liner. Reading all these posts has me concerned about the Carbon Pro. I know many of you have done modifications to get these covers to fit, but what about other accessories for the bed? Are you happy with the Carbon Pro bed or wish you would have just stuck with the traditional spray in bed liner that comes on the AT4? Also, I’m in Arizona so I’ve wondered about how the Carbon Fiber will hold up to the direct sun and heat all day long every day as this truck will not be garaged since I don’t have a big enough garage to fit it! 

 

I’m a new member here so if there’s a better thread to post such a question please let me know as I’m not trying to hijack this thread, but just know a lot of you have now dealt with the Carbon Pro bed and the potential accessories, or lack there of.

I knew nothing about the carbonpro when I bought the truck, it had al the features I wanted! But if I would have known I can’t run any tonneau or get swingcases in the bed, I would have passed on it.

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 w/ CarbonPro. First truck, first time installing a Tonneau Cover. I purchased this WeatherTech one and it is excellent.  https://www.weathertech.com/gmc/2020/sierra-1500/roll-up-truck-bed-cover/sierra-box-size-4th/short-box-69/bedside-storage-box-4/no/gm-carbonpro-bed/yes/

Install was easy (had to watch their video a couple times) and you only drill into some crappy plastic cover, not the actual beautiful carbon fiber.  

Was skeptical about watertightness but it has survived 3 months of Florida downpours without a darn drop inside!!

Thanks WACKEM_G and JonathanGMC for the insight. I guess I just wonder what main advantage the Carbon Pro has over a spray in bedliner? I mean those bedliners seem pretty tough and rugged, and it seems like they have more grip to them as well so things wouldn't slide around as much in the bed as with the more slick Carbon Pro bed. Seems like there's more upside to the spray in liner to me when I read all the concerns about accessories and mounting. I'm sure as more trucks are out there with the Carbon Pro more companies will start to manufacture ways to put their products on these trucks, but for now it seems pretty limited. Or maybe I'm just being overly worried about it?

Awesome emoji122.png will definitely be getting one! Been holding out for this!

Anyone actually pull the trigger on this yet? Been looking at it (in addition to a couple other options) but as this is new I haven't found any feedback on it as of yet...

There are 2 BAK options for the Carbon bed now. The Revolver X4 and the BakFlip MX4

 

There is a pretty popular youtube video of someone who have shown some quality control issues of the Revolver x4 (the cloth on the bottom of the rollers separating from the metal). Has anyone seen these issues?

 

Does anyone have any feedback on the quality of the BAKFlip MX4?

 

Regards

I placed a Retrax pro off of my 2019 Silverado onto my new 2021 Carbon Pro Denali 1500 Duramax.  It took a little time to come up with a way to secure it, but for about $25 and time it looks like it did on my traditional bed.  I would insert pictures, but have no idea how.

WeatherTech released their own hard cover tonneau for the carbon pro, it looks very similar to the Lomax posted above.  Mine just came today and I'm super happy with it, definitely nicer in my opinion when compared to the OEM soft cover.

How did you install the side rails on the Carbon Pro bed?  if you had to drill holes to mount the rails to the bed, was there a jig included for properly locating the holes?

I just purchased 2021 Sierra 1500 Carbonpro and running into the same issue with the Bakflip cover.  Has anyone figured out an appropriate modification for the different rail system on the Carbonpro?

I asked Bakflip what modifications they made to make it work with the carbon bed. They sent me the install sheets. I would have bought one by now but I can’t actually find one here in Canada. Some sites say they have them in stock, but they don’t,  I’ve spoken with a bunch of retailers and they have no idea when it will actually be available here.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
