Dee Zee DZ86996 Heavyweight Truck Bed Mat - Black, Non-Slip, Durable Protection for Pickup Trucks | Perfect for Hauling, Off-Roading & Work Site Use

After ordering my truck cover to secure items in the bed of my truck while I was away I quickly found out I needed something to help with the sliding around of items in the bed. After a grocery shopping trip I was met with bags of chips that were popped open after the items in the back of the truck smashed them against the wall. I immediately went to Amazon and found this highly reviewed bed mat for my 2011 Ram 1500 with a 5.7” bed. The first thing I loved about this item was that it arrived before schedule and just in time for a short trip my Wife and I had planned up through the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the biggest little city in the world, Reno, NV. After reading some reviews that suggested opening this while standing in the back of the bed I did just that and it fit every contour like a glove. After about thirty minutes in the heat under my bed cover it was fully flat and noticeably very ‘grippy’. I installed this over a spray on bed liner and it complements the surrounding walls and tailgate vey well. While loading up our suitcase for the trip I noticed the ‘grippy’ mat held our suitcase like a magnet. After arriving to our destination through the twists and turns of the mountains the suitcase hadn’t moved an inch! Great, exactly what I was looking for. Now the second thing I love about this mat if you notice in my pics I have about 6 big cans of assorted veggies my Wife found while shopping in Reno. Since we are still stockpiling for the pandemic we decided to purchase them and put our newly bought truck bed mat to the test. Unbelievably the position the cans are in is the same position we placed them before we started our 3 hour return trip through the Sierra Nevada mountains home. I averaged speeds of 75-80 mph, uphill, downhill, etc. and did not hear a single bump! I’m impressed with the product and will update in the future if any issues arise.
