    Throwing another vote in for the bed mat. I also love having the cargo divider but it's expensive for what it is.

    Lol $50? My dealer tried to get 2 hours out of me at like $110 an hour assuming they were doing the install. Former mechanic here, but it was literally a 20 minute install for me. Insanely easy if you have some of the acrylic interior tools to pop the clips with.

    In the same boat- already negotiated the pro grill at cost but trying to get it thrown in.
    Question for those that have the trd exhaust how loud is it and is it worth it?If not might have to go with the bed mat.

    $50 was the difference between the $280 he quoted online vs $330 installed. Some things absolutely justify high hourly rates, some things don't

    Or , instead of getting something that you might use off-roading which is dependent on how aggressive you off-road... Maybe consider multiple items that you'll be more apt to use more frequently? Granted, these are also dependent on how you'd use the truck, but given you have the bed step(s), you'll be getting in and out of the bed tying something down.

    $55 / $55 - Truck Bed D-Rings
    $20 / $75 - Trailer Ball
    $45 / $120 - Mini-Down Hooks
    $30 / $150 - Bed Cleats
    $49 / $199 - Cargo Net - Exterior

    You can find an OEM bed mat, or knock off with the logo, on eBay or in the 3rd Gen Marketplace for less than the dealer. This will make your truck bed way more functional.

    I misread your post. If you're getting $200 off of a $400 order, i.e. 50% off, then use this list...

    $55 / $55 - Truck Bed D-Rings
    $20 / $75 - Trailer Ball
    $45 / $120 - Mini-Down Hooks
    $30 / $150 - Bed Cleats
    $49 / $199 - Cargo Net - Exterior
    $120 / $319 - Bed Mat
    $15 / $354 - TRD Badge ( w/ slash stripes )
    $37 / $391 - Door Sill Protectors
    $52 / $443 - Emergency Assistance Kit

    So, by adding in roughly $23, you can take maximum advantage of more useful items ( again, depending on how you plan on using your truck ).

    Yes, 200 off a total of 400 or more. All accessories are 15% off prior to applying the coupon. 15% off is from auto dealer having partnership with costco. $200 coupon was from filling out the costco survey after completing the purchase.

    Thanks everyone for your inputs. Definitely going to get the bed mat. Might use the remaining credit for part of the cost for tonneau cover.

    The tonneau cover is also a smart choice.

    @VT03 - OEM tonneau covers are nice if you dont want a rack or cap, but get a lightly used one here in the marketplace and $ave! There are plenty of us who have taken our OEM ones off and sold them looking brand new.

    Maybe get a OEM rack, or see if you can get service credit for the leftover amount?

    Buy it locally though, I tried shipping mine cross country and it ended up crushed by UPS. Too sad to go into details. If you do find one, be sure to trade the two side bed rail caps and corner rubber spacer pieces for yours- the Tonneau ones are special cut for it.

    20180605_131841.jpg Really had my heart set on doing that, but decided to go with these. I like the all black look on these.

    Was looking for local used one. Missed out on a couple going for $500. Ended up using my coupon on an MX4 for $600 brand new. Crazy how some dealers can mark them up so much. One said they were selling at 1100. The one I went to had them for 800. Amazon is 864.

    Does it need the cutout side bed rail caps? if so, dont buy those at the dealer! Theres OEMpartsonline, and others that are cheaper.
