GMC versus Chevy bed differences

[SteveG]

So, new owner of a Silverado crew cab with standard bed and the “new for Chevy” Multiflex tailgate. Wanted to get a cap for it but ARE is telling my dealer that the beds are different between GMC and Chevy. I can understand the diffference between the regular bed and the Carbon-Pro bed on GMC but not sure what differences there are in the regular beds. ARE does offer the cap I want in the GMC standard bed/Multi-Pro gate combo.

 

Does anyone have information on the bed differences or info I can provide to ARE via my dealer to convince them that the GMC and Chevy beds are the same?

Want to know also. I didn't know there was a difference on the rails.

The top shape of the bed rails and the taper at the back are different between them.

Second this.

Thanks guys. Guess I will just have to wait for ARE to figure it out.

I realize this is an older post but would you know if there is a difference between the 2 trucks on the 2024 models? I have been led to believe there was a change in 2022.

Thanks Dan

 

I went to the GM dealership and looked a both boxes. I saw that the taper of the box above the taillight is still different between the 2024 GMC and the 2024 Chev.

They are different. The Chevy is more round, and the GMC has a more squared end by the upper sides near the tailgate. I did in fact fit a Chevy one on mine and it wasn’t horrible. I just used a small file to remove a very, very small bit of fiberglass.. but I purchased it on a very good deal and I was not aware of the differences at the time.  I don’t have any pictures of the back right now, but attached is just the general one. LeerXL100. The revamp is only interior in front end… the rear is still the same.
