Truck Bed Mats - 5 Ways Better
Truck bed mats don't cost much.
That doesn't mean they offer less protection than more expensive liners.
Following are five ways that cheap bed mats beat the expensive liners for truck bed paint protection as well as bed liner protection too.
1.
Stops dents.
Scratches on truck beds are bad enough.
But dents usually stay with a truck for life.
That's why protection from dents may be a bigger deal than protection form scratches.
Tough mats, especially rubber mats, can take all kinds of impacts and prevent bed dents.
No liner or mat does a better job of absorbing impacts than a rubber bed liner mat.
Carpet liners absorbs hits too, but not like rubber mats.
2.
Cleans easily.
For really greasy, grimy loads the rubber bed mats clean up easily.
Here's an application where it's much easier to use a mat over an expensive liner, like a spray on liner, to save the bed liner.
Let the easily cleaned mat take the grime and protect the "better"liner underneath.
3.
Won't cut.
Expensive spray on bed liners come with a guarantee.
That guarantee doesn't mean the liner can't be cut and damaged.
It just means the liner will be repaired.
Why not use a mat for protection? First, to keep the spray on liner from being damaged and then repaired.
Secondly, the rubber liner probably won't even be hurt by abuse that would tear and gouge the spray liner.
So you can protect your liner and do it without even hurting the bed mat at all.
4.
Easy to replace.
Bed mats need no installation at all.
No spraying, no holes drilled, no glue on your truck, no anything.
Just slide the liner in and then slide it out.
You know a permanent liner has a place, but so does an easily removed lining too.
Leave it in or take it out.
It's up to you.
5.
Cheap.
Here's the real trick.
High quality mats for a truck bed, either rubber or carpet mats, cost about one-tenth the price of a professional spray on liner.
The price is so low and the protection is so high, it's just cheap insurance.
Truck bed mats are the bargain for truck bed protection and expensive bed liner protection too.
The right mat lets you use a truck for the roughest hauling jobs with no worries that your truck will be harmed.
Depending on how you use your truck, one type of mat may be better for your pickup.
