So NOW that you actually own a Raptor, you are steering the conversation back on point.... That kinda contradicts about 5000 of your posts which did just the opposite before you got your beast. Oh how times have changed. haha

I really like my Bedrug XLT. Does everything I want. Good padding when I’m kneeling in the bed. If I’m hauling something pretty messy, I do throw a tarp back there to catch the crap. The rug surface will hold dirt and mud so best to avoid that kind of stuff if you want to keep it looking good. Big rubber mat would be better for someone really using it for that kind of thing. I think it really depends on how you use your bed. If you’re putting on a shell and sleeping back there, OK, that might be the one reason I’ve heard to get the bedrug that covers the sides as well.

First off, this is just the kind of "smear campaign" I'd expect from you and other "questionable" members here on FRF.

Secondly, I don't recall the contents of the "5,000 posts" you are referring to.

:madcow:

Does anyone know where I can brush my teeth?

Since this is the interior forum, I've got a question. Why are you putting a bed rug in your interior?

I have a Bedrug that came on my Gen1 when I got it. People told me nice grab it already has the tonneau AND a Bedrug. After having had it for over a year now here are my thoughts on the pros/cons.

1. Stuff doesn’t slide around. This is nice, but a rubber mat could do that.

2. It’s soft. A rubber mat would be too.

That’s about all I have for pros. The cons?

1. It is constantly getting wet and has a slight mildew-y smell to it. I haven’t noticed any smell to things I store back there being transferred, but it’s still there. I try to flip up the tonneau and dry it out every once in a while, but short of taking the whole thing out and drying it, it’s nearly impossible to keep it completely dry.

The tonneau leaks here and there as it’s not completely waterproof - the tailgate being the main culprit. Condensation drips will always be there as someone stated previously.

That’s pretty much it for the cons. It was there when I got it so I have changed it. If I had to start over I would probably buy just the rubber mat.

I have a buddy who hunts a lot and he swears by it. He says they just throw bloody deer back there, spray it down and roll on.

If you’re like me and just do day to day stuff it’s probably a wash, and you would save some jack by getting just the mat. If you need to sleep back there often it might be a better choice.

Apparently the previous owner of mine went the extra mile and had the Mr. Peanut cane cut out on the tailgate. Nice touch, I use it often because the kids love to play on it. It would definitely suck if it was permanently stuck under the liner.

Good Luck with the choice!
