The GMC Sierra carbon pro edition was initially only available in the United States and Canada, however, General Motors has now made the pickup available in the middle east as well. With the addition to the carbon fibre bed box, the GMC Sierra carbon pro Edition also incorporates General Motors’s unique Multi pro-Tailgate. The concept of this truck is based on the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 model.
The boss, Daniella D’Souza, of GMC Middle East Brand said in a statement that:
“The GMC Sierra brought the world-first six-function MultiPro tailgate. Adding further functionality and capability the CarbonPro edition, can carry whatever you throw at it, and further demonstrates its strength, space and innovation,…..The CarbonPro is made of the same raw material found in seven-figure supercars and even aerospace applications.”
All GMC Sierra CarbonPro boxes are made from a composite called Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). This material is more scratch, dent and corrosion-resistant, cannot rust and is 25 percent lighter than a steel bed. Additionally, the bed design offers best-in-class cargo volume due to the material being much thinner than roll-formed steel. The bed also has indentations for motorcycle tires and two additional tie-down locations over a regular full-size GM truck bed.
Key benefits of the CarbonPro bed include:
- Strength, durability and scratch resistance: The carbon fibre composite material provides the most scratch, dent and corrosion-resistant pickup bed in the industry.
- Corrosion-resistance: Carbon fibre composite naturally resists corrosion, helping the bed withstand weathering and maintain a premium appearance over the life of the truck.
- Reduced weight: The CarbonPro bed weighs 25 per cent less than a traditional steel bed, removing roughly 60 pounds of vehicle mass. Its grained surface also negates the need for bed liners, potentially saving further vehicle mass.
- More volume: The CarbonPro bed design enables best-in-class cargo volume, increasing the already class-leading volume of Sierra’s roll-formed steel bed by 1 cubic foot.
- More functionality: The CarbonPro bed features indentations specifically designed for tires of dirt and street bikes. Two additional tie-down locations are installed at the front of the bed.
