Bed Mat
I recently bought a 2017 Ford F-150 Lariat with a 5.5" bed and the dealership put in a drop-in bed liner. I like the bed liner, however, items slide around a lot when driving. I see that Ford makes a F-150 bed mat. Can this bed mat sit on top of the bed liner and work or would it need to be cut? Just wondering if anyone has done this. Thanks everyone.
About $130 at Silver State Ford Parts.

"There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money -- that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot -- it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."

I had a Ford mat in my 2013 on top of the factory installed bed liner (plastic one). No problems and did a great job of keeping things in place.

Im guessing you're not an accountant? $50 x 3 is $150, which is $20 more than the $130 for the Ford mat.
Appreciate you looking out for me though, IDK what I'd do without it. Glad you could jump in on a discussion and correct someone for something pretty pretty.
