Okay. Thanks. I was curious. Not sure why BedRug has not offered one for the 2019 trucks yet. For my mat/tailgate only model I just had to cut the flanges for the wheel humps. Seems easy enough to do on a production line and then offer it to your consumers. Oh well, I'm just a veterinarian. What do i know?
Glad it worked out, looks great. Makes such a big difference. I’m already thinking about ordering another one and just keeping it in the box for a few years from now, in case they stop making them for some reason
I didn’t take pics
I’ll send you a couple today of the completed job. I picked up the LED tape lights from Superbright LEDs, screenshot below. I figured the easiest way to tap into the light circuit was at the end of all the lights switches etc to try to keep it simple. I have reasonable electrical ability, but, didn’t want to find my self in the middle of a switch circuit that messed with an electronic control module of any kind. So, I pulled the passenger side tail light out and found the wires going to the factory bed light on the passenger side (the one without the switch). I didn’t take pics
To be able to work on it I unplugged the connector under the the truck and popped the cable clamps out of the frame. Then I pulled the tail from the bed light up and out the taillight recess so I could easily get to it. Simple tap of the red and black wires inside the wrap. Rather than crimp or use tap connectors I soldered, heat shrinked each connection separately and then a final large heat shrink over the whole connection. (Yea, I’m anal! But I’m used to doing stuff on my boat and moisture on electrical connections....not good) Anyway, I tapped in two tails one for the passenger side and one for the driver side. I ran the tails for the new LEDs out from under the bed thru existing holes below the factory lights, need to pick up a couple grommets at the local hardware store today. Then soldered the tails to the light strip tails and heat shrinked those connections. The driver side tail is fed across under the bed along the same route as existing factory wiring. The physical mounting of the new strips is simple, 3M adhesive comes on the tape ready to go. The existing length is perfect to place on the underside of the silver factory rails. Used a quick wipe of acetone on each rail before sticking them on. Then run the wires behind the BedRug to the tails I spliced in. Make sure you keep the polarity right (red s and blacks) or they won’t work. Little time consuming, but no issues. Careful pulling out the taillight, 2 push connectors and 2 torx screws. Then pull it straight out the back. There’s 2 little tabs on the front edge of the light, that you don’t want to break off.
Mine came with my truck but I also got the bed utility group (BUG).
As said by Bhbdvm included in the Bed Utility Group.
OK thanks guys. I have the adjustable tie down hooks, but I don't have the spray in bed liner or LED lights. So, I don't have the full BUG package. That explains why I didn't get the extender.
I'm wondering if I can add the LED lights in the bed. There is a cutout for them. I hope there is also wiring.

I got mine with the bed utility group as well. You can get a kit that allows you to add in the Mopar led lights. I believe there are some threads on this forum about them.
I love it so far. It is a little stiff to open the tailgate if the lid is down but it opens fine. The SE cover is 400 lbs on top and the HD cover is 1600 lbs on top.
Thank you. A bit pricey but seems worth it. Looks nice on your truck!
I think one of mine is doing that some too... I’ll be taking it to the dealer to get it replaced if it continues
I just chatted with BedRug (7/24/19 @ 1500 hrs CDT) and they aren't making a BedRug for a 2019 All New Ram short bed with RamBox and have no plans to do so. The babe on the phone does not know why.
I know your post is old but I was able to reuse my backflip from my 2016 on my new body style 2019. It was only slightly off and I lived with it for about 3 months until I bought the official Mopar version of backflip. Did anyone end up finding out about cutting the bed rug I thought the same thing but I didn't know if the edges would Fray. Thanks for
So did you cut it to fit? If so it's okay to cut that because I'll just order the one for the regular bed and make it work I really miss that from my 16.
