    The truck and frame are going to rot out before the bed mat - no matter the brand.

    I used to work in west Texas in the oilfields as a manager for a Big Oil company. We had a fleet of hundreds of F-150s and F-250s. Like 900. I kid you not. We had millions and millions of acres of remote oil fields that would take an hour to drive to from a small town you've never heard of.

    And we NEVER ever sprayed bedliner. We'd upfit (that was the term we used) our trucks with toolboxes, radios, lights, dual batteries and a whole lot more. But when it came to bed mats? THE CHEAPEST ONES AVAILABLE. PLAIN RUBBER.

    Never ever never once had a complaint from any operator that their bed mat failed and TRUST ME those oilfield pickups took a RELENTLESS BEATING.
