Truck Bedmat

Reading some of the negative reviews on DeeZee DZ86964, I was skeptical about it but decided to pull the trigger since I only had to pay about $40.00 for it. It came in and woolah no complain here. It is a little lighter than the OEM Tacoma bedmat which Is what I was looking for. Will see how it holds up but so far so good. I had to cut it to fit my shortbed but cutting was a no hassle. A butcher knife would do .

 

what were some of the complaints?

 

voilà

 

its French you know

 

I have had an OEM in all 3 of my Tacomas.... Love them and no complaints. They hold down road noise as a side benefit. Yes they are heavy, but heavy means durable.

If the piece is big enough, make a tailgate cover out of it. That tailgate is a killer on the knees when climbing in.

 

Pretty sure the Protecta & DeeZee brand bed mats are the same. Here is my review on the Protecta I did last week:

I think DeeZee was selling two different mats under the same part number at one time. I had read they were manufactured at two different places. The mat you see in this thread was the "good" mat. The "bad" mat didn't fit well & didn't have the cutouts for the D-Rings.
