    Lift, wheels, tires, floor liners, tonneau cover, and bed rug.
    It all depends on what you are using the truck for. Working for a company that supplies me with items to try out I've had both rubber mats and the BedRug.

    I can tell you the BedRug has been great. I was provided with the full liner which is a little overkill in my opinion being that the bed is composite. It does well for everything that I do. I haul a lot of sports equipment and tools and they stay in place for the most part. The downfall however is when hauling lawn debris the leaves and other small objects are left behind which requires vacuuming out the bed or pressure washing it.

    The Rubber mats that I've used are great for hauling items that leave behind debris like branches. It will also be better if you have items that you are worried about sliding as it does grip better than the BedRug.

    If you have more questions let me know.

    I have the bed rug and a Gatortrax retractable cover.
    Love the rug....it's basically indestructible IMHO.
    Have gotten plenty of sand and dirt on it.
    All I do is slide it out and hose off with water.
    It comes out clean.
    Dries super fast.
    I didn't use the Velcro to attach it to the bed since I have a cover and it won't blow out even with the cover open.
    As mentioned, depends on what you use the truck bed for mostly.

    +1 for OEM bed mat. Definitely keeps things from sliding around and protects the liner too.

    I went with bed mat OEM- as it's heavy (won't fly out) the bed rug I liked the looks of but the velcro attachment system worried me- I never get anything to stick- esp in a NH climate. (may have been different if on the tacoma they designed the bed rug and tailgate rug to be 1 unit) then I would have gone bed rug- contacted the company who makes bed rug as Ive seen an all in 1 unit for F150 (bed/tailgate rug) and they never replied.
