Two old area rugs that are always kept in the bed . of course I have a tonneau cover . used to protect side walls when hauling items and have used them when changing flats , air pressure tire ✔ and ECT .

I used bed mat only, thinking about any way to protect side wall paint.
Dent and scratch it and then drop in a nice clean liner just before you sell it.

I bought the Ford Modular Bed Liner. It does a great job of protecting the bed. :D

Depends on what you're doing. I'm generally not smashing anything into the sides.

- I have a horse mat for the bottom for normal cargo that shouldnt really be hitting the sides much.
- I use a thick tarp for hauling mulch, yard debris, bags of concrete or dirty stuff. Also great for easy / no cleanup
- If I ever haul lumber or furnature I just load carefully and/or use a moving blanket to pad the sides. Tie down appropriately so nothing moves.
- Some day I'll be hauling rock for the yard. I plan to build a small box from scrap lumber and flake board I nabbed from a dumpster near new construction. If I'm feeling fancy I'll figure out how to make it dump!

I can't begin to fathom someone trying to avoid spending a few hundred dollars on a sound proven product to protect their brand new $25k to $40k investment.

For that reason, all that I can offer to the OP and this thread are playful emojis in support of those who have made some gut-busting hilarious posts in this thread.

To quote Mark Cuban, 'and for that reason, I'm out.'
