Fairly new truck owner needs some help

[Davexxxx]

Do you need the rubber mat if you already have the liner coating and how do you ensure the rubber mat does not fly off when driving?

Most rubber mats are more than heavy enough that they don't fly out.

For those that are lighter, light my Weathertech, I always have some stuff in the bed anyway. Its a non issue.

You've gotten some good advice, i.e. bed mat, tie down points, ratchet straps, etc.

The only quibble I'd have, is hauling lumber with the gate up.

If you haul long lumber, IMO, better to load it first, with the gate down and load any shorter pieces and other materials on top of it, then use the stock tie down points, with ratchet straps.

As for keeping things from sliding around, the mat cures a lot of that.

Based upon your earlier threads (eg: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thr...uestions-while-purchasing-from-granger.24744/), combined with the vocabulary and phrasing in which you posted/responded, it would be easy to deduce you could conceive and employ, "how to safely load a pickup truck".

Claiming, "I can't..." is very different than, "I'm confused (or overwhelmed) by the volume of information" (or) "what works best for you?" - The first implies you haven't or don't want to try. The others show you have made an effort and need further help or opinions.

My intent was not to ruffle feathers and upset the masses.

...and yet your non-response is a response, complete with the implied undertones; articulate, polite, or otherwise.
