Sorry if this has been addressed before.  There were actually a lot of results in the search, too many, in fact, to find the answer I was looking for.

 

I'm in the market for a carpeted bed liner.  I'm looking at Bedrugs but I also see that Chevy offers the OEM 'Carpeted bed liner'.  Are these the same thing, are they both made by Bedrug?

Does anyone have the OEM liner that can shed some light on pros/cons of getting one over the other?

Not sure about the GM rug, but I bought the Bedrug version and have been very happy with it.   The bottom is foam, molded to the shape of the bed, with carpet on top.  I like that it pulls out when you need it to and cleans up easily.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely leaning towards the Bedrug. 

 

I'm looking on the GM Accessories site and the rug parts and install kit look eerily similar to the pictures on the Bedrug site. 

Now that I'm doing the math Bedrug, GM Site (with the 20% Legends discount) and Amazon are all coming out about the same price.

I actually had to phone Bedrug once and they informed me that they actually make the GM version for them. They are exactly the same thing only the GM one has the logo embroidered on it!

That's what I figured.  The similarities were just too many for it not to be that way. 

 

I think I'm just going to order it direct from Bedrug.  I could go either way on the embroidered Chevy symbol that no one but me will ever see and GM wants to ship their stuff to my local dealer, except my dealer isn't in their list, and I'd rather deal directly with Bedrug.

You can't go wrong with the bed rug I have it in my truck but I also have a camper shell however I like the bed rug because you can use the Rough Side of velcro and stick smell items to it LOL it is beyond convenient :-) it goes in with a bunch of Velcro that gets taped down on the perimeters I only used it at the tailgate Edge and the tailgate itself. Therefore you have tons of extra Velcro for any other projects :-). In summation I would say go for it and you will not be unhappy. I didn't pay for mine GM gave it to me with some pro professional accessories blah blah blah to make the deal sweeter. I did not think I would like it because I had the spray in bedliner anyway however it is great and the dog loves it.

I have a 2014 with the Chevy Carpeted Bed liner, from the dealer It's a Bedrug with the Chevy logo embroidered on it.

I had a Bedrug in my 2003, wouldn't do it any other way.

I read that yesterday and it didn't click with me.  Just read it again and that makes sense now.  Definitely a plus.

Thanks for the feedback and pictures.  I like that it's a nice, clean install.  My wife isn't quite on board yet, guess I'll just have to get one and convince her.

Don't know if you have a tonneau or not but the first time your wife sits on the tailgate or in the bed (sporting events, fireworks, camping, etc.) she will be sold on it!!

I have Bedrugs in both my 2018 Silverados. As long as you aren't hauling dirt or rocks they are the best bed liners . I actually have a moving blanket spread over to keep them nice and new looking. If you are hauling dirt or rocks get a spray in liner .

How hard is it going to be to clean if it does get dirty?  If I were to haul dirt/gravel etc I'd likely drop a tarp first, but I'm curious how easy they are to clean once dirty.  I do have a gas powered pressure washer.

That's what's appealing to me.  I'm getting too old to be crawling around the back of my truck on metal or a spray in liner.

I haven’t done it yet but the company (BedRug) says you can put dirt in it and just hose it off.  Not sure I buy that, but it should clean up.  As said, if I was hauling dirt, rock, mulch, I’d throw down a tarp.  Actually, Harbor Freight has moving blankets that are pretty cheap and I’d probably throw that down too.  I don’t think a BedRug is the best liner if you’re main use of the bed is frequent hauling of this type of material.  For the rest of us where this is possible but infrequent, a BedRug is a great liner and a tarp should work when hauling dirt, rock, . . .

 

I have the BedRug and a tonneau cover and am very happy with it.  It’s like a giant trunk.  Next best thing would be an old Crown Vic.  I guess if I could get the same thing for the same price with a Chevy logo on it, I’d probably go that way.

I own a few of these and use them regularly.

 

I owned my 2014 for 4 years and hauled dirt in it one time, and that time was a last ditch effort.  We were volunteering for a local battered women's shelter replacing their outdoor garden area and ran out of space to put the old dirt.  I took a load of it just to get it out of there.

 

One last question.  Is installation made easier by letting the parts 'soak' in the sun for a while to make them a little more pliable or does it matter?

I think a pressure washer would work pretty good. I would presoak it first with some laundry detergent and hot water then after an hour or so blast away then hit it with a wet dry vacuum and let it sit in the sun to dry .

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three of four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Homer1959 · Posted

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think this subforum was created for the new generation pickup trucks (2027-) with the 3.0 but I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are probably 2027 model-year specific changes for the SUV's too.   I was just curious if you had issues with your 2025 3.0. I'm still under 10k miles on mine and fingers crossed I don't have thrust bearing issues. I'm guessing not, since you're willing to buy another one! It's a good engine minus one or two manufacturing whoopsies.
