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

 

 

Bed Mat in Black with GMC Logo for Short Bed (for models with CarbonPro Bed)

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.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
