Bed mat

just ordered one. I don’t know why I overlooked getting one already.

 

You will love it, get a tail gate mat too. The mat has a much more level smooth surface. So it is easier on your knees to crawl up in bed. And you can set a beverge can with it tipping over.
And things slid around less.

 

I love it but ... and there's always a but ... sliding a large cardboard box into the bed is a MF.

 

I hear ya on the sliding. But love the mat!!!

 

Studunk. Got a part # on the gate mat

 

The only reason I have a mat, is so stuff WON'T slide around.

 

I like mine, it took me a while, too, no idea why. That composite bed is a slippery thing. But, as ipmorris points out, there is that down side for some stuff.

 

Where in SW Ohio are you? I have one posted in Kentucky buy sell thread that at this point I just want out of my way.

 

I went with a bedrug off Amazon when I upgraded to a mobtown reinforcement plate. You can also find a rubber mat one too if carpet is not to your liking.

 

I’m about 45mi east of Cincinnati. I wish I would have known you had one. The one I ordered has been shipped

 

Geeves77.....no part number for mat. It is 6 years old. Got bed mat first, after market, maybe knaphied? Several months later told son in law I'd seen a tailgate mat. Went out and measured. You will need to also, think length is 49 or maybe 51, height I,m do not recall. Son in law wrote it down, two weeks later for my birthday there it was. Fits perfectly with no trimming, is not a Toyota part. Needed to drill a few holes to screw it on. Even tho I heated it in sun prior, it had a little slack in the middle with tail gate closed. Was gonna add a couple more screws in middle, but thought screw heads might scuff cargo, or tear card board, so never did. After couple weeks did not notice the slack, and still don,t after 6 years. One of the best birthday gifts ever gotten. Take measurements and shop around...places that sell truck boxes, bed mats, Knaphied. Bed mat and gate are different brands as surface patterns are slightly different....but after 2 weeks you will not notice
