Have installed a BakFlip MX4 on my GMC CarbonPro AT4.  Awesome vehicle.  Wanted a folding hard tonneau cover that exposed most/all of the bed.  This thread helped get me started.  From what I can tell

Never even seen a carbon pro thought it was a myth.

I was just informed that GM does have a tonneau cover for the CarbonPro Edition.   84791287 - Tonneau Covers, Short Bed Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover for AT4 CarbonPro

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?

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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
