A recent report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that premium versions of the next generation 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 will use truck beds constructed out of carbon fiber to save weight. Who needs aluminum if you can use carbon fiber in a way that is financially feasible.

The half-ton pickup truck wars are heating up with the introduction of the 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2019 Ford F-150 turbo-diesel over the next several months. GM will not be left behind, as the company has been publicly testing prototypes of the new truck for many months.

Fuel efficiency, performance, payload, and towing capability are still very important factors for the upcoming half-ton pickup truck war. GM is reportedly looking into uses of advanced materials to gain an advantage.
