Bedrug or Bedmat?

I have a bed cover and now want to complete my set up with a bedliner of sorts. I am debating between the OEM Toyota rubber bed mat or a bedrug mat.

The rug mat costs $60 more at least. I am leaning towards that but will throw my mountain bike back there weekly along with an occasional dump run. I like the look the rug gives but wonder if the mat is more practical. Thanks for your thoughts

 

get your self a heavy duty 3/8" thick rubber mat from an exercise supply store that are roughly 6'x4' and cut it to fit, they run about 50 bucs, I have 2 of them under my weight bench and will cut one to fit my truck...just doesn't have the Toyota label, but who cares, its under a cover..

 

One consideration is that things will slide more easily on the bed rug while the bed mat will provide more grip - if that matters to you.

I have the bed rug and it's held up well so far (for a little over a year).

 

Bedrug holds up better

 

Really? Than the OEM bed mat? I highly doubt that

Someone here was selling the OEM mat on EBay for $80!

 

I was on the fence too, but went with the OEM mat. Very happy so far. It is grippier than the bed rug, and the install is simply rolling it out in the bed. To remove, roll it back up.

 

Bed mat. Easy to Install, remove, and clean.

 

Bed rug harder to clean. Bed mat easier to clean.

 

Toyota mat, well worth the investment for me.

 

I have the bed rug and love it. Things slide in and out easy. I can pull the rug if needed acct Velcro. I power wash the rug if it gets dirty, vacuum as well. It looks great, helps reduce noise, I couldn't be happier. The mats IMO look like crap.

 

Bed mat for sure! Throw anything on it and it will grip stuff real well. Not much can slide on it.

 

try throwing that stuff on a bedrug!

 

Keep in mind the issue of u/v damage if you are considering a product not specifically designed for exposure to sunlight. I have the Toyota bed mat and consider it to be well worth what I paid.

 

I got the bedrug. I don't haul crap, I haul camping gear, dogs, and I like the feel when crawling around back there. If I was hauling tools or similar I'd have gone for the mat. Different solutions for different needs. For a nice bike I'd rather have the rug. For dump runs the mat seems better. I got my bedrug for $145 from some online shop.

 

just put the OEM bed mat in last night, 100 bucks shipped off of ebay. It's far more tacky than I could have imagined. more than anything it'll help my peace of mind that when I just throw stuff in the bed without thinking it won't go sliding around or flying out.

 

Absolutely, if you use your truck as a truck.

And the rubber grips things so firmly that I have to remove the mat, sometimes, when I carry large heavy objects (like 150# boxes) that I need to slide in and out of the bed instead of wrecking my back.
