The announcements from GM in the latter part of last year allowed us to know the plan was to incorporate carbon fiber into the trucks that are sold. While this material is expensive, the higher trims of the GM models can certainly handle the price and offer what we want on the road. Unfortunately, when the new 2019 Silverado 1500 was shown, none of the parts were made from or used carbon fiber, which made us wonder if GM had changed their mind during the production and development process of the trucks it sells.
