The Denali comes with a standard bed with spray on bedliner. The Carbon Pro bed option is a $115 up charge. Seems like a no brainer. Right? 

 

Is this a must have? Are there downsides? I would be adding a folding hard tonneau and some sort of mat {probably Bedrug) to keep things from sliding around. 

 

Are there ordering restrictions? 

 

Thanks.

Thanks. 

I just got my 2023 Denali but I ordered it with all options as the Ultimate except with Jet Black interior. So I have the CarbonPro bed.

 

I just got in today my OEM Rev Flip hard cover and OEM bed rubber liner. 

 

Part number

Short Bed Tri-Fold Hard Tonneau Cover in Matte Black by REV® (for Models with CarbonPro™ Bed) - Associated Accessories

Part No. 19433570

Part No. 84635351

 

I am going to save the $300 and do the install myself. 

 

here is a video on the install it appears.

Can you get the Carbon Pro without a bunch of other packages?

I was a separate line item on my window sticker since I ordered my Denali completely as I wanted. Only took 7 weeks to get the truck from the time I ordered.

I have not seen a topper/cap for a CP bed.  Other than that, it's great.  I throw split wood in mine w/o fear of denting the bed.  Plus, it's a bit lighter.

Thanks for the part #'s and the install video. I guess the REV tonneau has the same rail attachments. Just have to wait for our taxes to get done and make sure we don't have any surprises. We always seem to pay.... Grrrr. 

 

Luckily, I really like the Ultimate interior. Sort of reminds me of a King Ranch I had.

The only downside to the Carbon Pro may be its slightly expensive price tag.

$115 was the cheapest option on my truck. And, after 6 months of ownership, it's a must have now.

So just bought a slightly used 2021 1500 AT4 w/ the carbon pro package. I always have a canopy on my truck. It was never disclosed to me and I never thought to ask about mounting a canopy to my bed. Because you can mount a canopy to every bed on the market. However the carbon beds are slanted and there is no flat surface to put the C clamps to secure the canopy. I have called a LEER/ snugtop installer and they called their reps and they have no "approved" fix for this. I have also called an ARE dealer who called their rep and they have no "approved" fix. Then I called SmartCap they sent me pictures of a customer that had cut holes for the clamps to fit through but stated this was the customers doing and not an approved method. I am now contacting dealerships to figure out what GMCs fix is. I can not imagine that they built the only bed in the world that you can not attach a canopy to.

 

Does anyone have any insight into this issue or any approved fix?

CarbonPro is only available as a short box.

The standard box (6.6") is only available in steel. 

 

Carbon Fibre composite bed is optional and only available on AT4, Denali and Denali Ultimate.

I don't understand why you believe GM would have a "Fix" for this issue as it's not an issue for them, it is an option in which the original buyer wanted, you bought it used and expected that it would work for your needs but it doesn't, GM isn't going to "Fix" that. I looked at a truck that had that bed and knew it wouldn't work for my needs so I found another one without that option, works great!

I looked it up, I didn’t know what it was. It’s a 10K option. I don’t know how one could be bought by accident.

I am glad you found what you were looking for. When I told the dealer my plans for the truck they said nothing about the inability to put a canopy on the bed. After calling them and talking with them it seems they had never heard that was an issue. Why would I think that this bed would be different than any other bed in the world. I would think that there should be a way for a canopy to be attached to the bed or they tell you that? I know that its an after market addition but its not a foreign one lots of people put canopies on.

It's your canopy manufacturer problem not GM's. Bellyache at your canopy manufacturer to create a mounting solution. GM can't or shouldn't have to fix aftermarket issues. BakFlip has created unique mounting brackets for their tonneaus for the CarbonPro beds.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
