I don't feel like I need to spend $400-500 on getting beliner sprayed in on an aluminum bed. I bought my truck used and it is already scratched up so I would like to get a rubber mat to put down to prevent things from sliding around. Any suggestions?
Mine is the one for the 6.5’ bed although my truck has a 5.5’ bed. I was going to trim it, but the excess folds up in the front and protects the front of the bed perfectly. I highly recommend not only the mat over a bed liner, but also getting the 6.5’ one as well.
The mats are nicer as they are much more slip-resistant than the spray or drop in liners. I’ve been using one for over 22 years in all my trucks (wow - am I that old already?).
I have the Dee Zee bed mat. It has little nubs on the bottom side that keep the mat in place. Never had a problem withmine flying out either...the weight of the mat holds it down.
I use OEM over top of the spray in liner.... yes, some would call it unnecessary but i really like it. I think i paid about $140 from my local dealer.
Same setup as me. OEM bet mat on top of Linex spray in liner. There are times where I want a more slippery surface such as when hauling bulk material. Other times I want the grippy surface of the bet mat. Best of both worlds.
I got a bed mat when I first purchased my truck. After about 6 months, I got a spray in liner and I still use the bed mat on top of the liner. I liked the mat, but the tailgate kept getting scratched, so I added the liner. Like others stated above, best of both worlds.
