I will admit that I don't understand bed rugs. Having not seen one in person, I imagine that is kinda like the interior carpet or indoor/outdoor carpet, correct? What is the reason for it? It seems as if it turns the bed into a big trunk and therefore negates one of the main utility reasons of the truck to begin with. I mean you can't really carry mulch, dirt, other landscaping materials in the bed of your truck without needing to do a through cleaning/vacuuming, right? I suppose if you were just carrying tools or supplies or other "dry goods" it would make sense.

 

I agree. And what happens when it rains, snows, or even going through the car wash.

 

I have Budrug like a lot of others on the forum. It is NOT like indoor/outdoor carpet at all. It is actually woven from recycled plastic, it is very durable, and stuff doesn't slide around on it. The bottom has a porous, cushioned back that fits into the grooves of the bed deck making the floor smooth. Hauling furniture and boxes is great, but I've hauled lumber, bags of concrete, stones, mulch, sand, fire wood and more. It is easily cleaned using a broom or hose and it dries quickly. Liquids cleanup nicely too - I spilled some oil in from my recycle bucket and it cleaned right up with a rag. You ask, what happens when it gets wet? It dries! And it doesn't take long.

 

What is the reason for it? The same reason as any other bed liner. To protect the bed!

 

I've always had plastic drop ins of one sort or another until I talked to some members who have had Bedrugs without covers for years. So, I saw one in person and it changed my opinion. I like it a lot. If you would really like to understand it, check this out. http://www.bedrug.com/education-center/why-choose-us.html

 

I was looking closely at Duraliner and the non skid bottom construction. IMO, these are some of the best designs out there. I had a GM drop in on my last truck. It was junk...warped, screw mounts kept loosening up and rough on the feet. Oh, and sorry, but I am just not a spray in liner person. Oh, and all of this is IMO...(and those of Bedrug)

Guys. Just like the prior post, I do everything with my bed rug. Haul mulch, my ATVs, everything that everyone else does. When it gets dirty I just pull into the carwash and spray it off. It comes clean really quick and easy!! Leave it in the sun to dry and your done!

 

The rug better protects my music equipment when I'm hauling it to my gigs. Plus on nice Summer evenings like today the family can just chill in the back. No blankets needed. Perfect for tailgating and the drive inn. Plus it just looks clean.

Just like anything new, don't knock it until you try it.

I've had a few trucks done in LineX. The only thing I didn't like was that it turns a nasty flat color after a short time. But I was planning on that for this truck until I discovered that the price has gotten nutty expensive for it especially if you add on some of the options. I didn't want a full plastic liner and I also see no purpose of the bedrugs so I ended up with a Dual liner. It comes in pieces and snaps togeter with a thick rubber bed mat like the GM ones and has hard plastic front, sides and tailgate liner. So, you can easily remove this in pieces if you need to or transfer to another truck without the bulk of a one piece drop in liner. I'm happy with the Dual Liner.

I have a bed rug as well. You can either take a couple minutes with a shop vac or simply hose it out. It's not carpet, but rather plastic fibers. It's a little more hassle with mulch and dirt than a spray in when it comes times to clean, but you can hose it, sweep it, and pressure wash it. It's got other benefits that make up for that. The only annoying thing is some mulch tends to stick a little in the fibers but a good blast of a hose will get it out. It's super nice to crawl in as well. I can haul delicate stuff as well and it protects my cargo better because of the padded nature.

Had the rug in a past pick up truck of mine. It's way more durable than you would expect however if you're doing it for show or are bothered quickly by dirt (like myself) you'll be vacuuming it a lot to keep it really clean which can get a little annoying.

 

In my current Silverado I went for the GM Rubber Mat (Short Bed P/N 17803370) I found online for under $110. I was shocked with how thick and heavy it was. It doesn't slide around and neither does anything I put back there.

I emailed our local (only) line-x people here and that price was a huge turn off

 

Depending on the options you could be spending up to $8/900 .. base price was $555 but with whatever warranty itd be 700 soemthing

I've had a bed rug in the past 2 trucks... but I had bed covers on them. I loved how I can go to multiple places and shop.. I was very happy with it.. I even slept in it one time just to try it. there will always be mixed reviews on things.. your truck get what you want

I want to get something for my tailgate, maybe just the plastic tailgate liner. Keep it from getting all scratched up when sliding stuff in and out.

 

So far I've only hauled tires in my bed and a canoe - the canoe scratched up the top tailgate cover plastic pretty good

I've noticed they scratch really easy too

Just ordered the GMC model BedRug last night. $345 shipped. I'm looking forward to putting it in this week.

 

I considered a spray in, but didn't like that cargo still moves around and we're in/out of the bed a lot. So the foam cushion backing was a bonus for me.

Where from!!! I was just coming here to ask those with GMC/Chevy bedrugs how much dod you pay. If theyre cheaper than BedRug brand and are basically the same then im going that route

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
