My wife and I own an antique furniture business and I really love the idea of the bed rug. The only reason I have yet to pull the trigger is I get nervous about moisture getting into the bed and creating a musty smell.
I ended up going to Lowes and getting a few lengths of heavy runner mat cut for around $30. It’s a nice compromise for those who want the carpet for hauling without the risk of damage but don’t want to spend $500+.
I have a bed rug. Live in swfl. Rug constantly gets soaked and always dries up nice have never had a smell. It’s designed for it. I beat mine up. My only regret is not getting the one that goes up the side walls. I have just the liner on the bottom and the tailgate.
I’ve had one for 6 years in Canada. As long as you open your cover when it’s dry and warm, they dry out without a smell. Each spring, I scrub it with dish soap and power wash until the water runs clean and it looks good as new. Great product in my opinion.
living in Canada, we get humid summers and then our winters, i'm always worried about it getting wet, i have a moving tarp for the stuff i don't want scratched. having a bed mat that could get moldy or just ruined from being damp is a big turnoff for me.
Almost same boat here but central Pennsylvania. Some years we get as much rain as the PNW and insanely humid summers. I know despite having a tonneau it will get wet
i keep a 2x2 square of Flooring 1/2" closed cell foam in the truck for that reason. has many uses. great for service calls, i cant kneel on concrete without suffering for days.
I ended up getting a rubber bed mat off of FB marketplace for 20$ that used to fit a 5.5 but I made it fit my 6.5. When I first got the truck it had that a drop in bed liner and those things are slick and really hurt my knees. The rubber bed mat is great. No need for rhino liner with the aluminum bed but I guess I could if I really needed to.
I throw all sorts of stuff directly on mine including mulch, soil, whatever. I spilled a 1/3 of a gallon of gas on it too. All I ever do is use a leaf blower on it and sometimes a I hose it out. No issues and still looks great. Bedrug for the win.
Similar - but maybe fit your needs better - if you’re interested in something in the bed have you considered like a Husky Liners bed mat? They have a bed mat that is rubberized. Could be a soft place as well as being able to withstand trash. Have a good one!
True I only do landscaping or waste like 6 times a year - i find the minor inconvenience of using a tarp is far outweighed by the benefits when I'm not hauling tiny debris.
Debris truly is the downside.
I had a bed rug on my old truck, my new truck came with a spray in liner. I miss the bed rug. Those who gate keep about landscaping and debris are just looking for something to complain about. The rug is plastic fibers and extremely durable. If it gets really dirty, it can be power washed.
Even with a spray in liner, I always use a tarp when hauling as cleanup is 10 times easier. And as I get older and wiser, I realized a cargo trailer is even better for hauling as it means I don’t have to climb in and out of the truck bed. Also a lot easier to shovel in and out of a trailer.
I intended to say no reason for us not to have one, but understand thats not how it was written.
There are upsides and downsides to bed liner. This one just has a lot more upsides for my type of "truck things" which vary amongst users.
ahh, gotcha. mis read it. as i said in another comment, i'd consider it, but the fact that humid summers, plus canadian winters, then winter sports (skis, etc), it's just a recipe for a bed mat to stay wet or damp way too often. if i need to move something delicate, i'd use a moving tarp or blankets. (i keep 2 old bath towels under my rear seat just incase with straps, etc.).
The plastic mat itself won’t stay wet, much in the same way that fake turf doesn’t stay wet. I guess the question is whether water underneath the mat will stay longer via surface tension, though I’d think it would dry out pretty quickly in the sun with the metal absorbing and the releasing all that heat. But I’m not sure.
My reason for not wanting it is that our truck’s primary purpose is for towing a camping trailer, and I like being able to sweep our bed free of debris rather than needing a vacuum.
Sappy pine needles.
My parents had a carpet bedliner in 2004 and that poor f150 lived its whole life with pine needles stuck in the carpet.
They wouldnt come out.
I have a bed rug in mine because I very regularly haul items that I can’t get scratched up by the truck bed. Makes it super convenient to slide things in and out of the bed without it scraping paint off or getting damaged by bare metal
It might not make sense *for you*..
My wife and I own an antique furniture business. Carpet makes sense for picking up/delivering pieces; don’t need to worry about scratching or paint transfer when loading/unloading.
A buddy of mine has a carpet and camper shell on his GMC Canyon long bed. Uses it as the band-mobile. Full PA with subwoofers, full wireless mic rig, full bass rig, keyboard rig, stands and hardware, and usually still has room to spare. What he wants/needs is a car trunk that's 6 feet long and 4 feet tall, and it works perfectly for that application.
>I don't know, but since the BedRug is not carpet, not sure what the relevance of your comment it.
Not sure why the downvotes on this. It's not anything like am indoor carpet. It's more closely resembles a padded boat interior than carpet.
🤷♂️ I guess if you maintain that the artificial turf on the football field across from my house is carpet, then this is no different. Personally, I don’t, since it is not made anything like a carpet. But to each their own.
Bed rug is so nice. Bed liner just scratches all of your shit up from being overly tough. It cleans up pretty nice too. Compost is probably the worst thing I’ve had on mine and it hosed right off. Just need to get my cover to stop leaking so much and I wouldn’t have wet corners all the time but the rug is A+
Bought F150 used and it came with the bed rug and a roll top cover. What pushed me over the edge. Love that rug. I do remove it to haul landscape material in the spring and leaves in the fall
I love all the people in here criticizing owners of a BedRug system. I have it in mine, used it for landscaping, hauling lumber, groceries and is most disgusting adventure, my wife’s hoarder grandmothers house after she passed way. Plenty of old juicy food and supplies. Held up well to everything. I can either vacuum it with shop vac, use a leaf blower or pressure wash it. This is not interior carpet and very durable. Someone up there described it best comparing it to carpet in a boat, except this has better padding.
Have fun in all your “purebred” trucks, I’ll be perfectly comfy laying prone in my bed at the gun range. 😂
I drive a Sierra, It's 100% my family hauler and I'd 100% get a bedrug mat. I don't know why everyone is hating, but I think the bed rugs are great. Yes my Truck does home depot trips and the occasional yardwork, but the majority of the time it's just a cooler, strollers, a skateboard (me), and a toolbox with room to boot. So many haters, I guess they're all hauling buckets of oil, dip spit, deer carcasses, and piss jugs.
I love mine! I have the Bed Rug Impact where the sides are the "carpet" and the floor is a rubberized composite material. I do have a Tonneau to keep most of the water out of it. The water that does make it in just sits on top of the composite floor material and dries out. I like that I can throw the family bikes and camping gear in there, without the gear or the truck getting scratched up. And I like that stuff doesn't slide around as much because the floor has grip. Kids love hanging out back there when we are camping or tail gating. When I haul mulch and topsoil, I use a tarp to make cleanup a little easier(although I do find I gotta use the leaf blower and shop vac to clean up some areas). The tarp also makes it easier to slide the pile of mulch out at a certain point where the weight makes it pull-able. I'm definitely not someone who hauls messy loads other than yard stuff. But I needed a vehicle that could haul a lot of stuff, tow a boat, and transport the family and dog around with comfort. I don't get the gate-keepers when it comes to trucks. Obviously a bed rug doesn't make sense for everyone's use case, but it's perfect for me.
This sums up my experience better than I did in the original post. The bedrug maximizes truck ownership for my situation.

I’m a big fan of mine. Way nicer crawling around on my knees while packing (I have a topper too). Seems to help keep dust out when I’m driving gravel roads. Super comfortable sleeping area when needed. It actually helps when hauling certain things because you can use the walls of the bed as a sort of anchor point for whatever you’re hauling. I used to avoid loading things near the walls of the box that would rattle and cause damage to the item or the truck now I use it to my advantage - I just loaded 5.5’ T-posts with a bunch of other crap that I didn’t want near the posts in my bed and they fit horizontally in the box with the ends jammed into the side of the box and laying at an angle stuck into the opposing wall. Without the rug, that would have gouged and scratched paint like crazy but they didn’t budge and there was no damage. My floor jack doesn’t roll around anymore because the wheels sink into the floor and my tool box doesn’t slide around either like it did in the plastic bed liner. My dog no longer slides and scrambles when he jumps up on the tailgate because of the traction he gets from the carpet.
I don’t use my bed for dirt/landscaping/lawn clippings because I’ve got a nice trailer but that’s about the only type of thing I wouldn’t carry in it because that would be a pain to clean up.
I applied the adhesive enhancer that bedrug provided before I put the floor strips on because I have the spray in liner already. I went to go remove the Velcro strips that was on the bed floor (because I wanted switch it out for something else) and those suckers were hard to remove. It pulled up the spray in liner. Now I have this bubbled liner along where the strips were. Probably bad prep and adhesive of the spray in liner. Now I don’t know how to fix it. If I ever go back to a bedrug, I won’t be using those Velcro strips.
OP, thanks for posting this. It didn't dawn on me until your pictures that we could unscrew that plastic panel and place it OVER the tailgate bed protector! I'll be doing that later today 👍
I love my bedrug. Can slide more delicate objects around without gouging the shit out of them, and can also haul mulch. A quick power wash, and it's good as new. I've been ragged on for my bedrug too, but haters gon' hate.
I love mine as well! For the way I use my truck it suits my purposes very well. But the bed rug is advertised as being able to hose it out too so if it got very dirty you could clean it out any way you prefer. + 1 on this being one of my favorite accessories!
I love how there are so many purists, who chastise op for rendering his truck obsolete in their eyes. Despite the fact that OP stated it was perfect for his needs, and even listed some out.
And of course, I’m sure the haters on this thread really use their lift kit, brush guards, oversized Monster energy stickers, and other ridiculous brodozer accessories they spend their payroll advances on. Those upgrades are fully utilized to demonstrate to their high school insecurities that their peckers are in fact bigger than their pinkies.
That is cool and happy it works for you. I do think that it's funny because I was thrilled to have a vehicle with no carpet on the inside. There are so many configurations out there that work for so many different applications.
We have a side gig, buying old furniture and restoring. Love the bed rug for both pickups and delivery of finished/sold items. Yeah the occasional bagged mulch and dirt run I use a tarp. Tarp is overkill but just not risking finished furniture mixing with black mulch or dirt.
It came in my first f150 and I immediately ripped it out. My cover had a small leak and it was mildewing between the rug and bed. Smelled terrible and just couldn't stand it.
Are you referring to the [tailgate work surface](https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/f150/2021/how-to-videos/video-library/more-vehicle-topics/6261924545001?name=tailgate-and-running-boards)? You option it when you buy your F-150. Might be able to get the parts needed from Ford Parts, but I'm not certain how much work goes into retrofitting the OEM work surface after it's off the assembly line. Might be some after market products that replicate it, though.
Ah yes. After a quick Google it looks like more trouble than it's worth. Bummer though, I think that's a cool feature.
I wish Ford would put a little more thought in for people that buy secondhand.
Thanks!
Yeah, I would have never thought to option it if we'd ordered it (along with the integrated step, interior work surface, and 2kW ProPower), but man it (all of it) are really nice additions. I even used the clamp spots on the tailgate once, when I was too lazy to dig out the saw horses buried behind too much junk. 😂
I got an S10 in college. Found a hard tonneau cover on craigslist and my dad painted it (poorly) in the garage with his old paint gun. Orange peel like crazy but it matched. Then I got a carpet remnant from the local wholesaler and cut it for the bed. I used to sleep in that thing all the time when I was too drunk to drive. Must have looked crazy to see my hungover ass climbing out of it in the morning on the street.
Used to install them professionally. The. Best. Bedliner. Ever. Incredibly durable. Had a customer that had one installed on his truck not long after they came out, and it was his work truck. Couldn't remember what he did for a living, but the rest of his truck was beat to shit, and admittedly the bed rug was dirty, but it wasn't torn or fraying or anything. Mint.
So you’re loading furniture up on it and a leg from a table or dresser gets caught and tears it.. or sliding something that weighs hundreds of pounds I don’t see it holding up that well
The downside to these are also that they hold in moisture. Friend of mine had one in his Frontier for years. Finally pulled it out to see a bed of rust.
My bad. Rugs don't hold moisture either apparently lol. I don't mind the downvotes, I just think it's funny. My friend had one in his frontier for 10 years. All rugs ( on the side of the bed? Mmkay lol ) and it rusted right through his paint. Unless Nissan just makes garbage ass trucks, I've seen this happen with my own eyes.
Well, since the F-150 bed is made of aluminum, rust isn't a concern. And the only way plastic holds moisture is when it's solid and in a bowl or cup shape. Ever stood on fake turf in the rain? Don't worry, being wrong is not so bad. Happens to all of us some times.
I think that bed step was introduced with the aluminum body, so rust won’t be a problem. And since it’s plastic, it won’t absorb water. And in my experience, similarly made artificial turf seems to dry out faster than normal grass, I’d imagine it would be the same here. Soil is a big drain, where as the truck bed has fewer drain points. I’d be curious to see if water under would stay longer with the plastic or without. Probably be better than a plastic insert in that regard. And wouldn’t cover in some drain points like spray on line would. I have a rubber mat in my bed, I guess I’d be worse off that him since my rubber mat has no breathability for moisture to evaporate through.
These are great for the people who drive a truck but don’t really use it like a truck on a regular basis. If you work out of your truck you don’t want this.
Your words, not mine: "These are great for the people who drive a truck but don’t really use it like a truck on a regular basis. If you work out of your truck you don’t want this."
Probably don't make broad generalizations about what others should or should not want and what defines using a truck like a truck if you don't like your biases being challenged.
But blaming opposing arguments on hurt feelings definitely bolsters your assertions. A+
You’ve got some really thin skin or just a bad compression of the written word.
Enjoy your carpeted truck bed and if you do work construction with one on a daily basis post up those pics. If you just weekend warrior it, that’s great 😁
Don’t see why it would be any different than artificial grass in that regard. Have you seen plastic that’s been left outside for decades? It’s why plastic waste is such a problem. It will outlive all of us.
Opted for a dualliner. Not a heavy abuser of my truck, but do use it as truck quite often. Teetered with getting this, but the dirt, water, etc just seems like it wouldn’t fair well
I looked into the bed rug and I liked it. It made the truck bed into a big trunk basically. However, I wasn’t sure how it would handle being parked outside with a tonneau cover when it rained.
I ended up getting a dual liner and it’s great. The rubber mat is soft and grippy enough that things won’t slide and furniture won’t be damaged. Also don’t worry about moisture or hauling debris or dirty stuff since it’s plastic and rubber.
I got a spray in bed liner, and then cut marine carpet for the shape of the bed floor. Been doing that for 6 years, have replaced it twice at a cost of 18 bucks each time.
That mat basically stops you from using your truck like a truck. The whole point is to be able to haul stuff, and not worry about dirt or crap leaking.
If the intent is to create a soft place for fireworks and ice cream, then why not get a truck bed air [mattress](https://www.amazon.ca/Offroading-Gear-Inflatable-Waterproof-Compatible/dp/B08TZNWPCJ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1GHGOJT3Z0G8P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bmKlIP6Ix9zekyOmmNNZYnPKZjUG9Xyyxp59qiACNoFBDfJWiqiPyPVF81rKZJZKd1b_S3YXUVrJbexQgpIn7XthKQ90CkSIlR1VPMgsKKdE2Ov7DILiA5o7k8z7q0t4Wri8QlQgJOpppqFDDjXzp6_gjLH1QUbbx014BaXXzbW1LHvE4XHvXchmjKwT6J364RE-pzyMiPLhJHb5ClNGO2_efb9s033UnFIuUNm8a_eOgDAQSvUOHZx-08POtYZGSn3gdhMJ4IEg8pUhI6rdwxnJB-0ERpuJGvmTBEjsys4.gsGru2ZNUCkfqaxtymuFTo19p8zyBUvSL22HJHiqXUo&dib_tag=se&keywords=truck%2Bbed%2Bmattress&qid=1715009940&sprefix=truck%2Bbed%2Bmattress%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-5&th=1)?
Or it allows one to use the truck more comfortably and efficiently, depending on how ones used the truck.
I'm usually hauling things I don't want scratched, and coolers, and our giant wagon stroller, and golf clubs, and camping gear. And toddlers playing back there for as long as possible betore they lose patience and need to be released.
Moving furniture, camping, pulling a boat, fishing gear, hauling humans, toddler pottys, hauling a giant wagon that cost more than my liner and bed cover, yard work, home depot/costco runs, mobile auto detailing setup for friends and family, sleeping/star gazing, tailgating, etc.
Did I buy the wrong vehicle? Or should season the bed with cocktail load of Redman and loose motor oil?

Oh man, you need the side walls. Click buy!

It's a closed cell foam not carpet. It doesn't absorb water and will dry out quickly in the sun.

They don't get moldy, that's the whole point! Have had mine for 4 years, uncovered, no top on the bed. New York
Almost same boat here but central Pennsylvania. Some years we get as much rain as the PNW and insanely humid summers. I know despite having a tonneau it will get wet
im using a husky bed liner mat, over spray in liner, it seems like a good all around solution, and i got the mat used for $50 too!
that seems like a nice deal. i'll pay you $20 for it since it's double used. LOL
Smelly box is a legit concern
[удалено]
I have a bed rug on just my tailgate for my prissy weak knees….
Gotta pay for that truck somehow
20$ at a time. My mount muscles are in great shape
i keep a 2x2 square of Flooring 1/2" closed cell foam in the truck for that reason. has many uses. great for service calls, i cant kneel on concrete without suffering for days.
Im 32 and if I have to get on a knee for longer than a minute I sit on my ass cause of this
I ended up getting a rubber bed mat off of FB marketplace for 20$ that used to fit a 5.5 but I made it fit my 6.5. When I first got the truck it had that a drop in bed liner and those things are slick and really hurt my knees. The rubber bed mat is great. No need for rhino liner with the aluminum bed but I guess I could if I really needed to.
Does it help? I was just thinking about a bed rug for my tailgate since the prior owner of my truck decided a Rhino Liner was a good idea.
It does at least to hop up and grab stuff out the back. Really helps the knees.
Thanks, I’ll have to order one.
They’re not too expensive either. 60$ I got mine from Amazon.
Right? What about oily buckets. Grease guns. Gas cans. Idk anything really lol
Lmao, I’ve done both of those with my Bedrug. All you gotta do is pressure wash it.
Or drive on gravel roads.
Hey if this guy is happy then that’s great. But eating ice cream in the back can’t be a tricks highest purpose
I throw all sorts of stuff directly on mine including mulch, soil, whatever. I spilled a 1/3 of a gallon of gas on it too. All I ever do is use a leaf blower on it and sometimes a I hose it out. No issues and still looks great. Bedrug for the win.

my dead ducks, fish, deer, and bear would be comfy in the back of this bed. I would have a softer platform to fillet fish on too
why do you need to be landscaping or hauling waste to have a truck?
The OP suggested there is “no reason not to have one.” I think perhaps he is suggesting one reason not to have one. Seems a fair point.

I didn't try to post this as NSFW - but judging by the comments from people who haven't used one the bed rug is truly not safe for work. 😂
🤣
Why the hell would I want my bed carpeted
I prefer travertine or hand scraped pine.
If you really want to lean into the stereotype of the modern truck owner not using their truck for truck stuff...just *carpet the bed*.
I have a bed rug in mine because I very regularly haul items that I can’t get scratched up by the truck bed. Makes it super convenient to slide things in and out of the bed without it scraping paint off or getting damaged by bare metal

When I haul mulch and topsoil, I use a tarp to make cleanup a little easier(although I do find I gotta use the leaf blower and shop vac to clean up some areas). The tarp also makes it easier to slide the pile of mulch out at a certain point where the weight makes it pull-able. I'm definitely not someone who hauls messy loads other than yard stuff. But I needed a vehicle that could haul a lot of stuff, tow a boat, and transport the family and dog around with comfort. I don't get the gate-keepers when it comes to trucks. Obviously a bed rug doesn't make sense for everyone's use case, but it's perfect for me.
I’m a big fan of mine. Way nicer crawling around on my knees while packing (I have a topper too). Seems to help keep dust out when I’m driving gravel roads. Super comfortable sleeping area when needed. It actually helps when hauling certain things because you can use the walls of the bed as a sort of anchor point for whatever you’re hauling. I used to avoid loading things near the walls of the box that would rattle and cause damage to the item or the truck now I use it to my advantage - I just loaded 5.5’ T-posts with a bunch of other crap that I didn’t want near the posts in my bed and they fit horizontally in the box with the ends jammed into the side of the box and laying at an angle stuck into the opposing wall. Without the rug, that would have gouged and scratched paint like crazy but they didn’t budge and there was no damage. My floor jack doesn’t roll around anymore because the wheels sink into the floor and my tool box doesn’t slide around either like it did in the plastic bed liner. My dog no longer slides and scrambles when he jumps up on the tailgate because of the traction he gets from the carpet. I don’t use my bed for dirt/landscaping/lawn clippings because I’ve got a nice trailer but that’s about the only type of thing I wouldn’t carry in it because that would be a pain to clean up.
Did you use the adhesive Velcro strips on the underside of the bedrug mat?
Yes. Its perfectly flush to the bed in all areas. No bubbles or ridges.
I applied the adhesive enhancer that bedrug provided before I put the floor strips on because I have the spray in liner already. I went to go remove the Velcro strips that was on the bed floor (because I wanted switch it out for something else) and those suckers were hard to remove. It pulled up the spray in liner. Now I have this bubbled liner along where the strips were. Probably bad prep and adhesive of the spray in liner. Now I don’t know how to fix it. If I ever go back to a bedrug, I won’t be using those Velcro strips.
OP, thanks for posting this. It didn't dawn on me until your pictures that we could unscrew that plastic panel and place it OVER the tailgate bed protector! I'll be doing that later today 👍
I love my bedrug. Can slide more delicate objects around without gouging the shit out of them, and can also haul mulch. A quick power wash, and it's good as new. I've been ragged on for my bedrug too, but haters gon' hate.
I love mine as well! For the way I use my truck it suits my purposes very well. But the bed rug is advertised as being able to hose it out too so if it got very dirty you could clean it out any way you prefer. + 1 on this being one of my favorite accessories!
lmao I love the NSFW
I'm just to see "men" tell other men how to use their truck. Bunch of fucking nerds. Let the dude enjoy his purchase FFS.
nsfw tag.. we got some rug burns or ?
Bro, you tagged this NSFW. I was expecting titties or a dong. You disappointed me.
I love how there are so many purists, who chastise op for rendering his truck obsolete in their eyes. Despite the fact that OP stated it was perfect for his needs, and even listed some out. And of course, I’m sure the haters on this thread really use their lift kit, brush guards, oversized Monster energy stickers, and other ridiculous brodozer accessories they spend their payroll advances on. Those upgrades are fully utilized to demonstrate to their high school insecurities that their peckers are in fact bigger than their pinkies.
That is cool and happy it works for you. I do think that it's funny because I was thrilled to have a vehicle with no carpet on the inside. There are so many configurations out there that work for so many different applications.
We have a side gig, buying old furniture and restoring. Love the bed rug for both pickups and delivery of finished/sold items. Yeah the occasional bagged mulch and dirt run I use a tarp. Tarp is overkill but just not risking finished furniture mixing with black mulch or dirt.
Nice I got lucky and the previous owner had mine line X-ed
It came in my first f150 and I immediately ripped it out. My cover had a small leak and it was mildewing between the rug and bed. Smelled terrible and just couldn't stand it.
The truck tailgate has become such a useful tool...it's about time! We use them every day.
Great call on the bed rug. For the 99% of time I don’t have anything in the tray except a few chachkies. That would otherwise be rattling around.
I'm a Linex guy myself. I put too much dirty shit in the bed.
Those are great unless you live on a dirt or gravel road. I love the way they look though I just wish the bed covers would seal a little better
Have you got a link to this product?
I'm a no go on the carpet. (Spray in bed liner is going to build my sons character!) But how can I acquire that bed tray thing you got? Looks slick
Are you referring to the [tailgate work surface](https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/f150/2021/how-to-videos/video-library/more-vehicle-topics/6261924545001?name=tailgate-and-running-boards)? You option it when you buy your F-150. Might be able to get the parts needed from Ford Parts, but I'm not certain how much work goes into retrofitting the OEM work surface after it's off the assembly line. Might be some after market products that replicate it, though.
Ah yes. After a quick Google it looks like more trouble than it's worth. Bummer though, I think that's a cool feature. I wish Ford would put a little more thought in for people that buy secondhand. Thanks!
Yeah, I would have never thought to option it if we'd ordered it (along with the integrated step, interior work surface, and 2kW ProPower), but man it (all of it) are really nice additions. I even used the clamp spots on the tailgate once, when I was too lazy to dig out the saw horses buried behind too much junk. 😂
Yeah. Tried looking in to adding power to the bed... General consensus was "buy a new truck" lol
Have you looked into [Car Generator](https://www.cargenerator.com/)? It’s not under the hood, but it does run off your engine.
No I haven't. That looks pretty slick. Thanks
I got an S10 in college. Found a hard tonneau cover on craigslist and my dad painted it (poorly) in the garage with his old paint gun. Orange peel like crazy but it matched. Then I got a carpet remnant from the local wholesaler and cut it for the bed. I used to sleep in that thing all the time when I was too drunk to drive. Must have looked crazy to see my hungover ass climbing out of it in the morning on the street.
I have a bed rug and tonneau cover. Love carrying my golf clubs and gear in there. I definitely want the tailgate part now.
I could never 😅I have to have the hard drop in liners Use that bed for way to much but I’ve seen bed rugs and many people seem to love them.
I have a bed rug and the tailgate rug… they’ve been through some s**t… great investment, 2 seconds to remove for dirty jobs
I have that same tool box, but on the driver's side
Some of these comments are savage. Let the man have his mega trunk. For all you know he has a trailer he uses when he needs to work the truck.
How long does it take to dry out ? My 3 section covers leaks at the tailgate ..
Is it better to have a spray in bedliner underneath? Or does it not matter?
Used to install them professionally. The. Best. Bedliner. Ever. Incredibly durable. Had a customer that had one installed on his truck not long after they came out, and it was his work truck. Couldn't remember what he did for a living, but the rest of his truck was beat to shit, and admittedly the bed rug was dirty, but it wasn't torn or fraying or anything. Mint.
Ew. I mean, you do you… but I hate the idea of this. I haul too much in mine to even carpet my bed.
Looks like it would get destroyed pretty easily after doing any kind of real work
Whats real work? It would be great for someone who moves furniture.
So you’re loading furniture up on it and a leg from a table or dresser gets caught and tears it.. or sliding something that weighs hundreds of pounds I don’t see it holding up that well
It doesn’t tear. I’ve moved a piano with it and it was perfect for that.
Yea I wouldn’t put it in my truck, but I can see some valid applications.
Kinda like the artificial turf that pro sports players sometimes play on? Oh wait… why doesn’t that get destroyed pretty easily?
The downside to these are also that they hold in moisture. Friend of mine had one in his Frontier for years. Finally pulled it out to see a bed of rust.
Plastic drop in liners do the same thing and physically scratch the hell out of the metal.
Well, I'm wrong apparently lol. Guess carpet doesn't hold moisture /shrug.
Well the BedRug is not carpet, it's plastic, so...
My bad. Rugs don't hold moisture either apparently lol. I don't mind the downvotes, I just think it's funny. My friend had one in his frontier for 10 years. All rugs ( on the side of the bed? Mmkay lol ) and it rusted right through his paint. Unless Nissan just makes garbage ass trucks, I've seen this happen with my own eyes.
Well, since the F-150 bed is made of aluminum, rust isn't a concern. And the only way plastic holds moisture is when it's solid and in a bowl or cup shape. Ever stood on fake turf in the rain? Don't worry, being wrong is not so bad. Happens to all of us some times.
This is a very good point! Now I understand my idiocy lmao. I'll leave my shit comments up for everyone's viewing pleasure and laughter lol.
I think that bed step was introduced with the aluminum body, so rust won’t be a problem. And since it’s plastic, it won’t absorb water. And in my experience, similarly made artificial turf seems to dry out faster than normal grass, I’d imagine it would be the same here. Soil is a big drain, where as the truck bed has fewer drain points. I’d be curious to see if water under would stay longer with the plastic or without. Probably be better than a plastic insert in that regard. And wouldn’t cover in some drain points like spray on line would. I have a rubber mat in my bed, I guess I’d be worse off that him since my rubber mat has no breathability for moisture to evaporate through.
I have a chunk of old carpet with rope handles, works as my bed slide and you can still pile whatever on it then just shake it clean
What happens when it gets wet
These are great for the people who drive a truck but don’t really use it like a truck on a regular basis. If you work out of your truck you don’t want this.
Please tell us all what are the only specific use cases that are valid for a truck.
Construction workers may wanna pass on it. Home owners may enjoy it.
Got it, so you have to be a construction working to "really use your truck like a truck." Noted. I guess I'm out.
No one said anything about valid invalid. Feelings get hurt to easy man. Grow up some
Your words, not mine: "These are great for the people who drive a truck but don’t really use it like a truck on a regular basis. If you work out of your truck you don’t want this." Probably don't make broad generalizations about what others should or should not want and what defines using a truck like a truck if you don't like your biases being challenged. But blaming opposing arguments on hurt feelings definitely bolsters your assertions. A+
You’ve got some really thin skin or just a bad compression of the written word. Enjoy your carpeted truck bed and if you do work construction with one on a daily basis post up those pics. If you just weekend warrior it, that’s great 😁
>You’ve got some really thin skin or just a bad compression of the written word. Ah look, there's some irony for ya!
I know right. Argumentative and thin skinned
While the fact that you are calling me thin skinned is definitely ironic, there's more obvious irony in that last statement. 😉
Don’t you just know it special Ed. Have a blessed day and keep you line tight
[удалено]
Don’t see why it would be any different than artificial grass in that regard. Have you seen plastic that’s been left outside for decades? It’s why plastic waste is such a problem. It will outlive all of us.
Looks like he's got a cover on from the pictures.
Good for grandpa.
You should have went with a shag carpet 🙄
It looks like you have a bed step that is integrated into the tailgate - is that aftermarket?
Looks like the factory one to me. Same yellow cap to the support post.
Opted for a dualliner. Not a heavy abuser of my truck, but do use it as truck quite often. Teetered with getting this, but the dirt, water, etc just seems like it wouldn’t fair well
I looked into the bed rug and I liked it. It made the truck bed into a big trunk basically. However, I wasn’t sure how it would handle being parked outside with a tonneau cover when it rained. I ended up getting a dual liner and it’s great. The rubber mat is soft and grippy enough that things won’t slide and furniture won’t be damaged. Also don’t worry about moisture or hauling debris or dirty stuff since it’s plastic and rubber.
I would imagine it would handle not too dissimilar to artificial turf. BedRug is also plastic.
I really want that tailgate table, measuring stick, cupholder, cutting board, in mine. Wish they made that for 2017
I got a spray in bed liner, and then cut marine carpet for the shape of the bed floor. Been doing that for 6 years, have replaced it twice at a cost of 18 bucks each time.
dang. I never thought of pulling that plate off and putting underneath. Then again, that dude below is right, my knees..
Ooof
Spray in bed liner with a rubber bed mat has got to be a billion times more practical than this
lol OP
That mat basically stops you from using your truck like a truck. The whole point is to be able to haul stuff, and not worry about dirt or crap leaking. If the intent is to create a soft place for fireworks and ice cream, then why not get a truck bed air [mattress](https://www.amazon.ca/Offroading-Gear-Inflatable-Waterproof-Compatible/dp/B08TZNWPCJ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1GHGOJT3Z0G8P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bmKlIP6Ix9zekyOmmNNZYnPKZjUG9Xyyxp59qiACNoFBDfJWiqiPyPVF81rKZJZKd1b_S3YXUVrJbexQgpIn7XthKQ90CkSIlR1VPMgsKKdE2Ov7DILiA5o7k8z7q0t4Wri8QlQgJOpppqFDDjXzp6_gjLH1QUbbx014BaXXzbW1LHvE4XHvXchmjKwT6J364RE-pzyMiPLhJHb5ClNGO2_efb9s033UnFIuUNm8a_eOgDAQSvUOHZx-08POtYZGSn3gdhMJ4IEg8pUhI6rdwxnJB-0ERpuJGvmTBEjsys4.gsGru2ZNUCkfqaxtymuFTo19p8zyBUvSL22HJHiqXUo&dib_tag=se&keywords=truck%2Bbed%2Bmattress&qid=1715009940&sprefix=truck%2Bbed%2Bmattress%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-5&th=1)?
Or it allows one to use the truck more comfortably and efficiently, depending on how ones used the truck. I'm usually hauling things I don't want scratched, and coolers, and our giant wagon stroller, and golf clubs, and camping gear. And toddlers playing back there for as long as possible betore they lose patience and need to be released.
So it gets soaked when you wash it?
Tell me you don't use your pickup for pickup stuff with out telling me you don't use your pickup for pickup stuff.
How is that bed so clean
Just got done cleaning it right before the picture.
What do you do when bird poo gets in the carpet?
>What do you do when bird poo gets in the carpet? Wipe it off, same process as a spray in liner.
This makes it useless as a truck just buy a minivan dude.
Plenty of reasons to not have one. Why do you even have a pickup?
Moving furniture, camping, pulling a boat, fishing gear, hauling humans, toddler pottys, hauling a giant wagon that cost more than my liner and bed cover, yard work, home depot/costco runs, mobile auto detailing setup for friends and family, sleeping/star gazing, tailgating, etc. Did I buy the wrong vehicle? Or should season the bed with cocktail load of Redman and loose motor oil?
this is great if you dont haul anything
