Bed Mat: OEM or Aftermarket?

I know this thread is ancient and that OP has probably long since solved their issue, but I can say that the OEM mat is quite good. It fits like a glove and really helps secure cargo. I've hauled dozens of potted plants in there at once before and not a single one fell over or slid. Definitely a good mod!

 

Definitely on my list of things to buy. When I do, it will probably be OEM.

 

I bought the OEM one. Perfect fit and seems to be very high quality so far. $74.20 at BAM wholesale. Bought it along with some other parts so the shipping wasn't quite as bad as it would've been buying the mat only.

 

Thanks for all the reviews and opinions. After reading them all I bought this last night with free shipping.

 

OEM. It fits perfectly. You can save a few bucks on something else, but the OEM bed mat will last the life of the truck.

 

I installed my Westin mat the other night. It is heavy but not too heavy, about 3/8" thick including the thousands of pimples on the bottom that provide drainage & air circ. I had to cut out holes for the two d-rings in the rear and for two I added up front. I like it. Mid $90s via Prime for the LB.

Before choosing this one I looked at the stall mats at Tractor Supply, but I didn't want a two-piece mat for the regular rubber mat material they have. Whatever you do, don't choose their recycled mat material in the rolls. It crumbles and I could tear it by hand.

 

i bought this same one as well, I almost thought it was an error or that it wouldn’t ship lol

shipped today

 

do you guys think the 70.95 one is legit toyota, and the seller is ok with zero feedback? kinda raising flags for me. but, i like the price especially, if it is genuine toyota. Ski

 

yeah that’s what I was thinking but gave it a shot since eBay has buyer protection.
Mine shipped from California so I should have it tomorrow.

 

keep me posted! very interested, thank you for the quick reply. Ski

 

So far mine has not shipped, purchased Monday. I agree the price and the zero rating by his name did put up a bit of a red flag, but he also had 333 5 star reviews or am I reading that wrong?. I did feel confident buying through eBay and PayPal so atleast I can always get my $ back. You know what they say, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. We'll see!

 

i think the seller had a total of 5 when I purchased.
It seems too good to true because these mats are heavy.
mine is suppose to be delivered tomorrow, fingers crossed

 

i believe the 333 5 star rating was for the product, not the person selling it. so, if it was an oem toyota bed mat for the short beds, it was a good deal. no more available now. ski

 

Good price! I picked up one of these mats a little over a year ago on Amazon w/free shipping for $97, it’s been a great piece of kit! I’ve also used it on my carport floor as a mat to assembled my winch/bumper on.

 

I paid $85.40 + tax at my local Toyota dealer for the OEM one. Ordered online for local pick-up.

That makes sense about the rating. Will update on whether it arrives or I have to get my $ back.

 

Update:Emailed seller this morning and got an email back saying he is waiting on the PayPal "pending" deposit to be made. That's where his zero rating probably played a part. I was like "dude I paid through eBay with PayPal, the hold is not for your protection it's for mine in case you don't ship it". He didn't understand the $ is in his PayPal account, but can't be withdrawn until after for the waiting period so the buyer doesn't get screwed. We'll see what happens next. Not that anyone really has a vested interest if my bedmat shows up or not just venting.

 

keep us posted. hope things work out for you, it was a great price! Ski

 

I also emailed him and got the same answer that payment was pending. I emailed again and told him he has to accept payment. I got the bed mat Jan 8 and it is OEM Toyota. I paid a total of $74.95. Very nice mat.

 

anyone get a weird invoice statement from the dealer that dropped shipped the mat? i was billed 75.21 (70.95 plus tax) including free shipping, on ebay. the toyota dealer invoice inside the box has my name and address, with what i assume is the sellers email address. says online order with the billed mat at 98.10 plus 32.57 shipping for a total of 130.67. my paypal shows the 75.21 but, the seller has not removed the funds. he sent an email through ebay asking for feedback. i sent a return email stating i would provide feedback when he accepted the payment, and the transaction was completed. i dont get the angle, if he was charged over my billed price, he isnt making anything, he is losing money. i just dont want to provide positive feedback, then he disputes payment based on what the larger invoice amount was, or the dropshipping dealer asks for the remainder of funds from me because, my name is on the invoice. this is just bizarre. anyone else buy from salcoconstructinc?
