It will probably be fine for you, but there are advantages to an aftermarket bedliner, I'll use LINE-X as a comparison:
1. ToughBed is about 60 to 65 mils thick which is about half the thickness of LINE-X. So, it's fine for a slip resistant surface, but it's not going to provide much impact protection.
2. ToughBed has a 3 year/36K mile warranty. LINE-X has a limited lifetime warranty.
3. If you ever develop a problem with ToughBed, the dealer can't fix it. And, the original product is not available. If you develop a problem with a LINE-X bedliner, you can get it fixed at any LINE-X dealer nationwide and you can obtain the original product.
4. ToughBed is only available in aromatic black, LINE-X offers color matches as well as black (both aromatic and aliphatic).
