    Just bought my first Offroad ShortBed MT Tacoma (and my very first truck) a couple of weeks back, and am really enjoying it so far. I had a few questions for folks here, and was hoping you could help me.
    1. Any recommendations on a bed mat for the truck?
    2. This is my daily rider, so would like to put groceries etc in the back. What would you recommend?
    3. Also I would like carry around 3 road bicycles. Any suggestions on how I can do this.
    TIA

    Well a little advice from an old guy who doesn't know what you used to drive. You did say your first truck. It won't drive like any front wheel driven car. You will need to get used to turning on slick, wet roads. For instance, when you are at a stop and then making a turn. Don't gas it to much or the rear end will fish tail out on you. When the road are wet, you will need to get her pointed in the right direction before you jam the pedal down. You might already have figured that out but I know I went thru that after I got my first truck.

    My truck came with a mat already. Are you talking about that one, or an additional mat on top of it?
