2019 GMC Sierra

With the lighter weight, optional carbon fiber bed, GMC one-ups the aluminum cargo box that Ford has offered in its F-150 since 2015. While the lightweight CarbonPro bed may lag the truck's launch by a few months, GMC says it will be more scratch, dent, and corrosion-resistant than any other full-size truck. Spray-in bedliners may no longer be a thing.

On the practical front, the short bed offers best-in-class cargo volume of 63 cubic feet. A standard-size bed should be available as well, although it's not clear if the carbon bed will be available in both sizes.

Another interesting new feature is the MultiPro tailgate, which GMC says offers six separate “functions and positions,” including a step entry and an assist handle. While details are sparse, the Sierra can now help users up to 375 pounds clamber into the bed. The adaptable tailgate is standard on Sierra SLT and Denali trims. For now, GMC's remaining mum on any other trim levels.

Under the hood, GMC retains last year’s 6.2-liter and 5.3-liter V-8s, while following Chevrolet’s lead by adding a 3.0-liter, turbodiesel inline-6.

GMC is adding a pair of popular GM features: a head-up display—remarkably, no truck maker has offered a system that projects speedometer information onto the windshield in a pickup before—and a nifty inside mirror that display a wide video image from a rearview camera. There’s also a surround-view camera system on offer to provide a bird's eye view. As for active-safety features, the Sierra will offer blind-spot monitors, low-speed automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection.
