How is it sliding things in? Do things slide in smoothly as it might in a plastic bed liner?
It's pretty grippy, I would say it has more grip than my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 mat as there is texture on the Smartliner mat vs smooth rubber on the 2001.
I also installed the Duraliner tailgate cover as per post 78. Very happy with that as it fits well, designed to take and impact and can use it to slide material into the truck. The Weathertech looked like it was designed for a soccer mom and won't protect the tailgate from heavy odd shaped objects.
I also have a Westin mat that Carid sent me, fits like crap, looks like 3 batches of used tires were used to make it, I believe I was sent an interim fit, neither Westin or Carid answered an email. Wasn't worth the hassle to return it or pursue but both companies get no more business and a big
and
. I throw it into the bed if I'm picking up block for walls and such for added protection. The blocks are odd shaped and 72 lbs. each.
