Carbon Fiber vs Steel

Steel beds have been used since the very beginning of truck manufacturing because they have proven their durability. Steel beds are malleable but not at the level of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber can be shaped much easier which means more possibilities. It allows for a better bed design for those who put their bed to the test daily.
