How do you like it? Is it heavy enough that it doesn't blow around when driving at interstate speeds?

Does fine at highways speeds. This is not the first DeeZee bed mat I have owned and all the others have had no issues in other applications and I expect no difference with this one.

I had the Deezee mat in my F150 and loved it. I'm one of the people who like the fact that stuff doesn't slide around because if the mat. I ended up saving the bed mat from F150 that I traded in and cut it down.

Hello All, newbie here. Been lurking from the outside and following this thread for a while. Now that peeps are getting their rubber bed mats in, whats the opinion here between SmartLiner and DeeZee? Unless I'm wrong, those are the only two companies I've seen offering a fitted "rubber" mat.

Hey @P.Lo suggest you check out my post number 59 in this thread. Lots of pictures and I tell ya, my mat works great. Was a bitch to cut but the end result was sooo worth it.

I used a stall mat from Tractor Supply. Under $50 and plenty cushy!

I purchased the Smartliner. Had the DeeZee in my last truck and believe this mat is thiner/lighter material. It is also made with a lip or maybe better description would be a flare (see sample pic) all the way around so it does not sit perfectly flat on the edges. Personally I don't mind this on the front and back but I could see it being an issue or catching as you slide items across your tailgate and into the bed.

I'm looking at the Smartliner too right now ... model K0459.

How's fitment in the bed? Are there gaps? One review I saw suggested that the liner was off by 1.5" or so.

I have the Smartliner and it is meant for JTs without the sprayed in bedliner. I have the bedliner and the Smartliner doesn't lay flat and it's a hair long so I really need to slam the tailgate shut.
Good point. I do not have the spray in liner.

With how much space the spray Liner would take up, is it not just an easy trim of an 1/8" or so?

Yes. You could trim it no problem. I don't mind the rear and sides to be curled up a little to fit but I will definitely be trimming the edge closest to the tailgate.

Thanks for pointing that out ... I DO have the spray-in bed liner.

Would trimming help? And if so, how much could you trim off either end of the Smartliner to still a ensure a non-gappy fitment?
