5 Reasons Cheap Truck Floor Mats Are Worth Checking Out

Without some form of protection, most truck beds sustain serious damage fairly early in life. Normal use scratches the paint and often causes dents as well. With the addition of simple truck bed mats, much of the expensive damage to repair could be avoided. Here are 5 reasons to consider truck mats.

1. No puddles of water for the beginnings of rust.

If the water can’t get out of the front bed drains, it will start to slide downhill towards rust and corrosion. Water hidden under some siding just sits there and causes problems. But with a mat in place, pooled water is easy to see and stop. Simply fold the mat away from drains and stop the problem in seconds.

2. Mats do not move.

Someone commented when they saw my rubber mat that I had not glued it. Leaving the glue really makes the system better in every way. Actually, these mats are not going to fly anyway. It is because of the great weight and also because the mat lies flat and provides little for the wind to grab it. Rubber mats stay put and don’t blow away in the wind.

3. Installation means simply deploying it.

Rubber mats pop out and that’s all it takes to install one. Just snap it into place on the back of the bed and remove any ties or tape and just push it in gently. Work around the fender wells and any other obstacles and you’re done. The only really hard part is just getting him up in bed. So much rubber, if the mat is rubber, it is quite heavy.

4. Put that drill away.

Drilling holes in a truck bed causes mental anguish for the owner of this truck. Every hole created becomes a start for corrosion. Just spreading out the bed mats looks so appealing. There are no drilling or bare metal that could damage the bed.

5. No hidden shaking and shaking damage.

Being able to see the bed almost instantly for observation means there is little chance of damage under the rug. Loose plastic bed liners can vibrate and rub off the paint. Since shiny metal is hidden under a hard-to-remove bed liner, your truck bed can slowly start to rust and pit. That won’t happen under a bed mat as the mat cannot damage the bed and the paint under the mat can be seen very easily.

Truck bed mats easily protect bed paint and more. The mats are also a perfect protection for more expensive liners. Using mats over sprinklers in siding allows you to truly use a truck and still keep your sprayed siding looking like new.
