Carbon fiber bed...that won't be expensive to fix at all

it's only the inner wheel well area... if you fuck up a bed so bad that you need those, you hit something FUCKING HARD

Pretty sure this is going to be the first 1500 truck to top $70k msrp

ii thought that existed already?

Those repair costs are going to be astronomical. CF not known for its low cost or strength against impact.

cf is pretty friggen strong... and with how widely used it is it's prices have come down a lot to fix.

carbon fiber offshore race boats are super sought after and durable as fuck.

Lol

that happend a while ago

Go price out a limted f150. They sticker higher then raptors

before i came back into this thread, i knew exactly who had posted what in my mind also

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

ii thought that existed already?

I built a limited f150 and loaded denali and couldn't get to $70k, maybe i missed something

I was excluding the raptor though, that's technically a 1500

 

[Yaj Yak]

interesting.

crazy that escalades & denali yukons can hit 100k but a pickup can't. that's odd.

[MENTION=19]Yaj Yak[/MENTION],

In the graphic, it looks like the load surface, the back, and inner fenders (in the bed...), no?

 

[Yaj Yak]

maybe it is i think i missed that.

still, i bet it will be plenty durable.

especially for all the paper towels and baby strollers denali pickups carry.

 

[Kensington]

I mean yeah, I agree, Denali owners aren't generally the people I'd be worried about

It would be nice to have the option for a steel bed vs carbon fiber bed

 

[Yaj Yak]

i think carbon fiber is far more durable than you're giving it credit to honestly.

 

[Yaj Yak]

like, offshore raceboats collide at 100 mph and weigh 10k lbs and are carbon fiber, and it's okay.

 

[Kensington]

I'm hoping to be proven wrong...I'm just concerned if they've made some special type of CF that is less brittle and impact resistant, it's going to be even more of a pretty penny to replace. Especially if it's just an traffic accident, per se.

i really don't think it will be an issue or that costly.

carbon fiber has gotten so crazy reasonable.

and impact resistance... i mean dude there are carbon fiber helmets that are entirely carbon fiber, and really reasonably priced.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I would think a fully loaded Denali 1500 sierra would run about 70k ?

Looking at the pictures again.... I'm not a fan.
For the 1st time, I think the front end of the Chevy looks better ( note, I don't really "like" the chevy front end, but if I had to choose between the 2 right now, I'd go Bow Tie )

Look at you.........lololololololol

 

[Rent Free]

Holding out for the HDs to released. Might be time for an upgrade. However, the L5P duramax's are supposedly untuneable. My 2015 is deleted which I don't think I could go back to a factory emissions truck.

"untuneable" yeah right.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

with the HD being unveiled, i thought I would post this....
i may need an upgrade:

( may have been posted in the bored thread but NFG )

dat 10 speed tho

 

[Yaj Yak]

damn

is anyone removing the speed limiter and running these stock in the 1/4? lol

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Seriously, my truck ran 15.7 with a CAI when my buddy's cousin rented Rt 66
I mean Barney ran 13.6 in the 1/4 with a filter and a muffler.

puts it into persepctive

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Those repair costs are going to be astronomical. CF not known for its low cost or strength against impact.

Agree..i'd actually missed that the bed was carbon fiber. I will always think the bottom of a pickup bed should be steel, but that's just me. Mine is aluminum, and it works for me, but i could see it being a problem for some people.

cf is pretty friggen strong... and with how widely used it is it's prices have come down a lot to fix.

My main experience with CF is with wheels for track bikes, and the horror stories are a dime a dozen. They're expensive AF (definitely not "crazy reasonable" IMO), and not known for strength. Guys have had a $2500, 6" wide wheel ruined by a tire changing machine, or pothole, or any other random issue. The fast guys even have their CF wheels routinely xrayed to check for stress cracks.

Also, helmets are safe to make from CF because they're one time use. Not like a pickup bed

 

[Yaj Yak]

carbon fiber is strong as fuck

sounds like some shit carbon fiber there.

 

[Yaj Yak]

completely carbon fiber...

also, any helmet is for one time use... you have a serious crash with any helmet, regardless of what it's made from, it needs to be replaced.

The speed is crazy impressive....but it is water...spread over a large surface area...soooo i'd expect it to hold up

 

[Yaj Yak]

we're fucking done here.

at speed water has more surface tension than concrete.

that boat is being beat to absolute complete fuck

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

at speed water has more surface tension than concrete.

Does that mean you could drag that boat down the highway at 200mph and the hull would be OK? because I feel that wouldn't be the case, lol
