I have the DeeZee mat and as posted, it's thick and fits perfectly. I do not see how it could fit any better and it will not come out even at highway speeds. I have a cover but I got mine after a friend who has no cover recommended it. I have the factory spray in too and stuff used to slide everywhere, not with this mat. Would recommend to my Mom if she had a truck....and yes I love my Mom LOL

Agreed. Great price for both form and function. I'm running the exact same setup.

I searched for a discussion on bed mats but didn't find anything.

I need a mat for my 2018 Sierra to keep things from sliding around. It has the factory spray in liner.

I was wondering what some of you guys have and how you like them. I don't want to spend a lot of money on one either.

Thanks

Factory mat over factory bed liner works very well. Have had the same mat now in the back of my 14, 16, and now 18, holding up very well over the years.

Another bedrug user. If you wait long enough they show up on Amazon under the Amazon warehouse for under $100. Have it under a cover. Works great. Levels out the bed, provides padding. Would be great for making the bed more like a trunk that also works well with camping/sex as noted above. Not good for petroleum products as they can break down the fiber. The liner warns not to carry gasoline if I recall. 

 

Mine is the complete with tailgate extension. Highly recommended.

Wow, they are $200 on Amazon right now. I would pay $100 in a heartbeat. I have never heard of Amazon warehouse. How does that work?

No pre-mix would rule me out, hence the Dee Zee.

Look for the item you want. Check under used. Look for seller "Amazon Warehouse". Add that one to cart. Wait. Periodically they will lower the price until it sells. They are graded on condition by a third party and can vary but returns are free to include shipping on warehouse items. 

 

You can also narrow down automotive by your specific vehicle and then seller "Amazon warehouse". It will list all items that work for your vehicle sold by the warehouse. Bit more complicated that way but if you can point and click, then sort by seller. Make sure your truck has been added to your Amazon garage. 

 

Good luck. I get some good deals that way. My cargo topper was around $400 with msrp I think $800. Bedrug similar discount. Both arrived in great new condition. Likely bought for wrong bed length if I had to guess.

When carrying petroluem I use a small plastic storage bin for my fuel containers and secure with a strap. Easy peasy.

I found it on Amazon but no option for used. Only said new from 42 sellers and Amazon warehouse was not on the list.

Just another vote for the BedRug.

 

I actually have the full one (covers the sides as well) but the one you are looking at is the same material just basically the bottom and tailgate sections.  The thing is great!  I actually leave mine in all the time without any issues under my tonneau but I had one on a previous truck with an open bed and hauled absolutely everything in it with out any problems or stains.

Go to a concrete/aggregate plant or industrial business and ask if they have any old rubber conveyor belting from crusher/asphalt plants. When the belts tear and get in bad shape, we put new ones on and pile the old stuff in the corner to rot. It's usually about 1/2" thick by 30+" wide and is designed for large sharp rocks to drop on it daily for years at a time. I just cut a few lengths off with a sharp broke knife and lay them in the beds of our work trucks. It costs nothing and will give you 10x the protection any bed mat on the market will, you can literally toss things in there without fear. I am happy when people want to take my garbage away for me, you shouldn't have any issues tracking some down. Save yourself $100 and give you something to do on a Sunday.

I actually made some mud flaps out of conveyor belt for an old Toyota truck. They worked great for a little while but then they started curling up on the sides.
It would make a good bed mat for protection. I just want something to keep things from sliding around in the new Sierra. I kept my old 02 F-150 for hauling crap in. The Sierra is just gonna be a weekend and vacation truck for right now.

I bought a Westin bed mat off ebay. Cost me $70 shipped. 

 

I have a plastic drop in bed liner and just trimmed the bed mat to fit in the plastic liner. Works good to keep stuff from sliding around.

      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.
