Is the OEM rubber bed mat the best option?

[Powerboost_Law]

Go to Tractor Supply and get yourself a horse stall mat, cut it how you want it. Way better than any mat on the market.

I did exactly this, Horse mat is 5/8 thick, if your not afraid of a little work to cut it to shape this is an excellent option, the down side is it will be 2 piece.

I bought the TripleAligners Mat https://a.co/d/6GPdtsP for my F150, fit perfectly and they seem very similar in construction and quality to the TuxMats I’m using inside the cab. Its not a thin/plasticy mat and has that padded feeling. When I put skis in the back they dont slide around and wiping up moisture is easy with a rag. I need to find endgate protection now.

That's what I wanted to hear. I have the Tuxmats too (put them in everything since I discovered them last year... superior to everything out there).
Thanks!

I went with weathertech for the tailgate protection on my 2024. It ran about 90 bucks...

Those TuxMats are highly addictive once you’ve discovered them- between my wife and I we’ve purchased 4 sets over the years (she just put them in her new Gladiator). Really makes a difference and sets a standard.

I used my Ford pass points to buy the oem mat fits good and is pretty thick

I always get a BedRug. Every truck since 2003.

Last night my $99 Rough Country mat arrived. It came rolled up wrapped in plastic and is curled a bit in the bed due to that. I'll open my tonneau and pull the truck out of the carport this weekend to let it get some sun. It's not an "issue" just needs some sun to flatten as has been documented.

Fits great and worth the price imo. The others felt too expensive for a simple bed mat when many of us already have spray liners. I know you mean on the logos - I am not letting it bother me since it's under the cover.

I prefer and needed the rubber to prevent stuff from sliding around. I have a F-150 OEM liner on my 2004 and for the nearly 2 decades I've had the ole girl, nothing slides in the bed.

I also will vouch for these liners! I have one in my 2021 and like was said when I got it it was rolled up. But unroll it and let it set in the sun for a few hours and it lays down flat. Quality and thickness is great. I would buy again.

I had a Bedrug classic liner in my 2018 F-150 Platinum and was very happy with it. Purchased a 24 F-150 Platinum with the Pro access tailgate, added a bedrug mat, hoping they would offer the full coverage version. Still waiting.

That was my next endeavor...find something to cover the tailgate and gap...but also work on the Pro Access tailgate. Looks like that's a no-go for now.

As others have said… I bought a Dee Zee brand bed mat for my 2018, moved it to my 2020, and moved it again to my 2022. Holds up in the Texas sun and various cargo types, still looks new, no issue whatsoever. +1 on a bed mat over a spray in liner…

I see that DeeZee has a new version of that mat...with the X-pattern.

I had the same question when I bought my '24 last May. Wanted the spray-in and also a high quality bed mat. Weathertech was a big disappointment and all the others I looked at were the same - very thin. I used my Ford points to buy the actual Ford part and it is far superior to any of the others. You can tell by the weight.

What was the problem with the WeatherTech? The drop-in TPE liners with the lip seem the be the new, great thing over the heavy, old rubber mats that stuff get all-around the edges. I've always had those rubber mats through the years, and I was thinking to go with a new-style TPE version (like the WeatherTech)...so why were you disappointed?

It all depends on what you are looking for. The TPE liners fit well but they are slippery and tend to warp in the sun. The rubber mats are flat and allow dirt / debris to get underneath them but they are better at keeping cargo in place and don't warp in the sun. I bought a DeeZee rubber mat for my 2024 XLT and found it to be reasonably priced and a good way to protect the floor of the bed even though it is already coated.

Hey that looks cool! They call it Gen 2 ?
