Anyone purchase the Bed Mat Option through Ford? How is it?

[Basis0439]

I am considering an on-the-lot F150 lightning that came with the bed mat option. It also (regrettably) has the Ford OEM spray-in (was hoping for LineX).

I have no familiarity with the OEM bed mat, so very curious on everyone's opinions!

I've had my Lightning for a year now and have the Ford installed bed mat. I have taken several trips and loaded the bed often. I am very satisfied with it. It stays in place, is easy to clean, is no-slip, and has just enough padding so that I can work in there on my knees comfortably.

it is ok. not sure i'd buy it again. fits well and has nice ford logo. it is more just about a bed mat in general. it makes it difficult to slide stuff like furniture or heavy boxes. debris and moisture get under it

I had the factory installed spray in bed liner, then bought the mat with my points. The spray in liner was too harsh and textured, so the bed mat was exactly what I wanted. And things don't slide around while driving with it like furniture or boxes which is exactly why I like it. Too each their own, but it's a just giant piece of rubber which serves it's purpose for me.

My Lightning XLT has a Rhino Lining that is really professionally installed. It looks beautiful and of course protects the bed. I bought this truck used but I assume the bed liner was installed by Ford.

Yep same here. I bought it with points. If I had to actually pay for it I probably would have gone for a cheaper aftermarket unit. Like you said its just a big hunk of rubber. What more can you expect.

I bought the mat. It fit great, looked like crap. The rubber has all sorts of crap in it, looks like dried worms. Since it came with the bag ripped open, we (dealer and I) guess it was sitting on a shelf and maybe actual worms got in there and dried up, so they ordered a replacement. Just as bad. I've opened a case with Ford Accessories but crickets over 3 weeks. Had a contact at Ford circulate it.

You decide if this is ok for you to spend $145 on (after discount). No, it won't come off, it's in the rubber.

Ya, that's exactly how the bed mats are made. It's rubber with a filler string. My old gm one was the same and it works great but it shouldn't be showing through the top on a brand new liner. Solid rubber is much heavier.

My Dualliner that is 10 years old looks better.

I took my 2018 mat and moved it across to my Lightning with the factory spray liner - fit perfectly. Love the mat. I pull it out and power wash it once in a while to keep it clean. It keeps things from moving around too much (although it won't matter if you use all the horsies available to you on the lightning). In short, I find this the best combination for what I do with the truck.

I opted for a Dual liner it has a rubber bed nat and harder plastic (I’m guessing PVC) sides, front, and tailgate. It was super easy to install and iWork’s great with my rolling cover.

I had LineX on my previous truck, but opted for the factory spray-in for my Lightning. It’s only been 6 months, but the Ford liner is holding up (and looking) as good as, or better than the LineX.

Hijacking the thread a bit here, but I got a bunch of feedback from my dealer that the Ford spray I. Lining would delay my order so I ordered without it. I figured I would have an aftermarket one added on delivery. Is LineX a good option?

The factory bedliner was causing some delays late last year. As far as I know, that’s no longer the case. Perhaps someone with more current information will comment.

I was happy with Line-X on my previous truck.

This is helpful, thank you.
