    Check with a local dealer. I ordered a used SB one on Amazon for $100 after tax. Was for a long bed, but in great shape. Happy Fathers day dad, for your 2017 ACLB.

    Ordered another SB from Amazon for $125 after tax. Had a big section of pitted rubber. I would have kept it, but I found one at my local dealer for $87 ($95 with tax and no pitting) so I sent that one back to Amazon for a refund.

    I had 2 bed mats in my truck and 1 in my garage at one point.

    Bought my bed mat from the dealership. I was honestly surprised that it wasnt like $300 lol. I realized this was a must have when 12 fence post slid out and bounced all over the road behind me one day. I decided playing frogger really isnt all its cracked up to be.

    We purchased the OEM bed mat within a week of owning the vehicle. Mostly to keep things from sliding around. I had a load of stuff I was hauling from my childhood home that burned and someone pulled out in front of me. I hit the brakes and just heard and felt everything slide right into the front of the bed. The mat has been great for keeping things from sliding around and also makes crawling around in your bed a lot more comfortable.

    OEM bed mat. Mostly to keep stuff from sliding around. But it's a truck, the bed is going to get scuffed up if you use it as a truck.

    Since it's a fiberglass bed it won't rust if you scratch it but it's also slippery as hell.

    I got the Westin bed mat for about 2/3 the price of the OEM one. I have no quality complaints at all. I'm interested in the Westin tailgate mat to go along with it.

    I was pretty set on getting a local deal for an OEM bed mat, but the ideas here might change that. General consensus around here is the OEM mat but I'll have to look at the stall mat

    I doubt they have shipping expenses. They probably load like 20 bed mats on new Tacomas they bring in.

    OP.....here is something that may work for the tailgate:



    https://mobtownoffroad.com/product/tailgate-skin/






    OEM bed mat fits perfectly and took under ten seconds to install.

    It keeps stuff from sliding around and cushions the bed.

    It was well worth the $85 it cost. I'm planning on driving this truck for 15+ years.

    My time is with more to me than that to fart around with a box blade and a homemade solution.

    OEM bed mat. Then put a mat of similar thickness material on tailgate. OEM came with truck and tailgate mat was off eBay. Common brand just can’t remember it. Uses screws to hold it in place. Makes those deep ribs on the tailgate a lot easier on the knees
