A bed mat I think is just a mat that goes on the floor part but does not cover the sides, back, or tailgate walls. A bed liner covers the whole box. I would go with a Line-x bed liner personally. I have the BUG on my truck so it came with the spray liner and is great.
This is my first truck with a spray-in bed liner and I love it. I think Line-X and Rhino Lining are very similar and both are very high quality. A great upgrade from a drop-in plastic version like I've had on previous trucks.

I could see going with a bed-mat/bedrug or something else on the floor portion in addition to the spray if you wanted to keep things from sliding around too much. The spray in liner is super protective and has some texture but not especially grippy. That would obviously be a personal choice.

Best of luck, let us know what you decide.

Do i want a bed liner or a bed mat, and is there a difference? (I have the ram box)

thanks

LineX is great. The spray in liner from the factory is even better. However....if you already have your truck I would strongly look at the BedRug brand one piece bedrug that includes the sides and tailgate. It’s impervious to oils, gas, etc and can be swept or power washed. Looks fantastic, nice for camping or lake days and great under a tonneau with baggage for trips. If you haul cow manure and loads of dirt all the time, then no. My buddy has the full and said he will never go back to spray in. My 13 had ramboxes and factory spray in and I got the BedRug brand bottom piece only that was easy to remove when needed. Hardly ever removed it.

@DrAudio motivated me to continue my de-chroming with Plastidip

2019 Limited 4x4 with Rambo, no etourque
- Borla cat-back touring with resonator
- 20% ceramic tint all around and pano
- Leveled with Daystar spacers and revel links
- Nitto ridge grapplers 285/55r22 (34.6x11.7)

That’s gonna be slick! The key to plastidip removing well later is by doing multiple thin layers.

Don't forget the, " WOW" factor when you drop your tailgate. I love mine, well worth the $$$.

Same for me, I liked the Limited trim but there was no chance I was buying/paying for that trim and getting stuck with the chromed out look from 2005 and the paisley interior accents. To each their own, just wasn't for me. What I wish Ram did offer is the Rebel without the red interior, that's just over the top to me.
You probably already know this but now they are offering the Rebel without the red interior

Lol why imitate a Toyota.... 5th best bc they have not changed their truck in forever... seriously in forever just exterior
1st to have dampened tailgate
1st to have the biggest 1/2 ton interior until now
1st to have entire window roll down

I traded my trd-pro for my RAM Laramie sport and miss my TRD some days

RAM just killed it this year I do love my new ram but have had a few issues already only having it since June

And ZERO issues ever ZERO with my Tundra in the last 8 years of having two of them 4/yr apiece

Not what I found; first year the AC went out in my Tundra. The second year my transmission was slipping, and got water in my taillight when it rained. Never liked the dull look of the interior, got poor MPG and no power at the same time. I had to turn off my AC at times due to lack of power. Also, was pulling a 10,500 lb. trailer and the Toyota Tundra truck had a very tough time.

Did this mod today. I don't plan on towing and if I have to, then it can be removed easily as I have installed quick disconnect connectors on the wires. The hardest part was drilling the holes to the hitch, took a bit to drill through even with some heavy duty drill bits.

Here is the link to the light. The wire that comes with the light is not long so I added extra just enough to tap into to wire.



Self stripping quick connectors to tap into the back up light wires.

Sold My Bakflip MX4 and purchased a Bak Revolver X4. MX4 was great but didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t put my mountain bike over my tailgate without covering the rear window. I was able to get the revolver to close with my tailgate pad installed, just had to remove the rear seal. Not a big deal since with the Mopar drop-in bedliner installed I couldn’t close the tailgate anyways without major trimming. Also installed BlackVue 900 Front/Rear Cams
