According to the Wall Street Journal (subscription required), GM is going to use carbon fiber for the truck bed on certain premium-level vehicles to save weight, which will provide better fuel economy. It also will provide more strength per square inch than aluminum...............

Less than 20 years ago, GM invested in fully composite pickup beds with horrible results..........
