Bedmat suggestions
Since I can't decide if I want to get my bed Line-X'd or not, I'm thinking about picking up a bedmat. Ford dealer has 'em for $76.00, and Cabela's has a Penda bed mat for $69.99. Penda will probably end up a few bucks more than the OEM after shipping charges. Anybody have experience with either of these mats, or have another they would suggest? According to Cabela's, the Penda is almost 1/2" thick. i've got no idea about thickness of the Ford part.

zer0cool,
I have the OEM mat and like the way it looks and fits. Also there is a big F-150 in the middle and the rest of the mat matches the design on the top of the bumper. I have a couple of pics in my gallery, check them out.

It is a little less than 1/2 inch. It seems like I paid about $80.00 for it and also the guy at my dealership suggested that I have it sent on the truck with their other orders so I did'nt have to pay any shipping cost that way, it took a couple of days longer but I saved a few bucks.

One more question for those of you with the OEM mat. The one at Cabela's has a "nibbed" underside to allow enough air circulation to keep it dry. Does the Ford part have a similar underside?
soldGTO, Cabela's has a rubber tailgate mat for $29.99, I think. It's a universal fit, but supposedly will fit the new F-150 though.

Hi guys. I'm also working on whether to get a spray in or snap in bedliner. I found one that looks very promising: http://www.realtruck.com/products/californiadream.php The video demonstration is very impressive. The rubber bed mat is 5/8" thick which I think is the thickest one I've see. Looks good and says it's water proof. $300 for the Ford 6 1/2' bed. is reasonable for the quality of it.

Only reason I didn't consider the Bedrug is that I'll most likely have the bed Line-X'd at some point. The bed mat would be an inexpensive form of protection in the meantime and could be used for extra padding after the spray-in liner was applied.
