A truck bed withstands a lot, so why not make it the most durable you possibly can? GMC has created the CarbonPro bed and has earned the title of best-in-class dent, scratch and corrosion resistance. The CarbonPro bed was originally available on the 2019 Sierra 1500. It is now available on the 2020 Sierra 1500 Denali and 2020 Sierra 1500 AT4 trims. Benefits The VP of Global GMC said “CarbonPro is made of the same raw material found in seven-figure super cars and even aerospace applications. Coupled with offering the world’s first six-function MultiPro tailgate, the 2019 Sierra packs a one-two hauling punch for whatever the situation demands.” Durable The CarbonPro bed is made of carbon fiber composite materials, thus making it the most scratch and dent resistant truck bed. Corrosion-Resistance Truck beds can rust and wear over time. The CarbonPro bed's materials make it corrosion resistant and maintain its appearance. Light-Weight The sound of a durable, carbon fiber bed sounds like it would be heavy; however, it weighs 25% less than a traditional steel bed. Due to how durable the CarbonPro bed is, you don't need a bed liner thus saving more weight. Spacious The CarbonPro bed offers more room than the traditional bed. It has even earned the title of best-in-class cargo volume. Functional GMC designed the CarbonPro bed to fit and tie-down street or dirt bikes. There are tire indentations and two additional tie-down areas to allow you to fully secure bikes. Proof GMC set out to test the durability and strength of their CarboPro bed and the results are shocking. The testing included: drop, corrosion, snowmobile, extreme temperature, and generator testing. GMC even tested it at a hurricane testing facility in Miami that put it up against category 1 hurricane-force projectiles.

GMC has outdone itself time and time again with the first-ever MultiPro Tailgate, best-in-class cargo room, and now the ProGrade Trailering System. The ProGrade Trailering System is available in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and offers innovative technology to make your trailering experience a breeze. How to use the ProGrade Trailering System in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 The ProGrade Trailering System has numerous options and settings that allow you to control not only your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, but your trailer as well. Below are some helpful tips and tricks on how to maximize the ProGrade Trailering system on your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500. GMC Trailering App First, the GMC Trailering App is a great tool that works alongside the ProGrade Trailering System. The GMC Trailering App syncs with the GMC Infotainment System in your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, thus allowing you to make adjustments simultaneously on both devices. From the GMC Trailering App, you can test your trailer light, monitor your trailer's tire pressure, and activate the theft alert. These features are easily accessible and can be changed any time right from your smartphone. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View One of the most convenient features of the ProGrade Trailing System is the Hitch Guidance with Hitch View. The Hitch View Camera gives you a bird-eye-view of your hitch and the trailer you are wanting to hook up to. With the Hitch Guidance, virtual guidelines will show which way your truck is angled, so you line up your hitch with ease. The Hitch Guidance with Hitch View speeds up with hook-up process and makes it so that you do not have to keep getting out of your truck to see if you are lined up to the trailer hitch. Auto Electric Parking Brake Assist When parking your truck with a trailer attached, it can roll forward or backward a couple of inches. The Auto Electric Parking Brake Assist in the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 stops it from rolling when you park, so you do not have to worry about hitting another vehicle. Integrated Trailer Brake Controller The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller works similarly to the Auto Electric Parking Brake Assist. Instead of assisting with your truck's braking, it assists in stopping your trailer from rolling forward or backward a couple inches. It also has settings that allow you to specify the weight and profile of your trailer, thus allowing you to full customize the trailer braking. Hitch Area Lighting Connecting to a trailer in the dark can be difficult, but not with the Hitch Area Lighting Park Break Assist. When your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is in reverse, a light will shine down on the trailer hitch. So no matter whether you're going camping during the day or night, you do not have to worry about struggling with hooking up your trailer. Trailer Sway Control When hauling a trailer, it can begin to sway depending on your speed and road conditions. The Trailer Sway Control feature senses when your trailer begins to sway while driving and corrects it for you. It prevents swaying by activating the trailer brakes and cutting back on engine power. Trailering Camera Package To fully maximize the capability of your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, you can get the available Trailering Camera Package. This packages adds two rear-facing camera and a trailer-mounted camera to your truck. These cameras allow you to see down the side of your truck and both sides of the trailer you are hauling.
