Has anybody run the T mat bed mat & cargo mgmt products (www.tmat.com)? If so, would like to get some feedback or comments on it.

I have it. Sold my Bedslide and went to this because it took up less room and is light weight. I'm happy with it so far. I enjoy the cargo stops so things don't move in the bed.

The only downside I see so far is if I want to carry something filthy like dirt, mulch, or heavy items like pavers or rock I might need to slide the entire mat out. Otherwise it might get damaged and cleaning out debris from the "T" slots would be a pain.

Where in Texas are you? I'm near Keller if you want to see it in person.

Thanks for the feedback. Your comments about dirt and cleaning were one of my exact thoughts/worries with this system.

I am in Texarkana, TX. Not too far away.

Yeah it's definitely a concern. If you plan ahead the thing is so light and easy to remove it's no big deal. It comes out as a big sheet of plastic. If you find yourself out and about and just gotta have that pile of dirt I'd probably lay down a tarp over it first.

Another bonus I just thought of is it creates a level load floor which is sometimes useful.

Did it come with the beveled edge with handle to pull when ordering or was that a separate add on?

It did not actually. I wanted it, but it's an add on. I figured I could just grab it by the T slots and that works fine for me.​

​

Which reminds me of how weird my purchase was. I ordered the "Gladiator" kit, but whoever packed my box had never seen a Gladiator. I ended up with a few extra parts and I didn't put it together as outlined in their instructions. TMats's suggested layout wasted space and didn't cover the entire bed. I worked it out to fill in between the wheel wells and all the space between the tailgate and still had left over pieces.​

​

Then I had to cut off the extra nubs at the tailgate to close my gate. It was a little frustrating, but easier to figure out than messing with customer service and an exchange. All that said, I couldn't use the add on ramp on the end without cutting panels at this point.​
