Default Suggestions for a tailgate protector?

Hey all.
Finally got my new truck in but could use a good tailgate protector.

Thought about picking up the Ford piece, but wonder what else is out there for options. Maybe even rattle can bedliner would do the trick, but I don't see how it would offer much protection.

You guys use anything else?

Bedrug isn't going to work for me. I already have the Ford rubber bed mat I wanted and I had a diamond plate protector on a previous truck that stood up to everything.
Just have not found a good HD one yet for this truck besides the rigid Ford plastic one.

Maybe there isn't one out there for these trucks yet.

Because it's plastic it allows things to easily slide-into the bed and onto the bed mat.

Joe,
Is that for the 2015 or the previous trucks. Looks like the one I had on my 2012 and it held up pretty well on that truck.
