Q about bed mats and the tie-down hooks...

[gzebrick]

Hey all. My daughter just picked up a 25 XLT Hybrid. It didn't come with any bed liner from Ford. We're looking at adding a simple drop-in bed mat. I see most of the ones on Amazon do NOT have any cutouts for the two built-in tie down loops at the front of the bed. I did find ONE that does though...

My question... for the ones that do not have them, what is everyone doing with the 2 bed tie-downs? Are you putting the mat over them? Cutting the mat? Removing the tie-downs from the bed? Thanks.

The Ford OEM Maverick bedmat is a perfect fit and accommodates all tie downs and is of very good quality and can be purchased using reward points

I got a really cheap foam mat--an exercise mat--for $20 and cut out space for the hooks.

1. Don't take the factory hooks out -- Smart
2. If you get one that isn't cut...cut it --Smarter
3. Just get the Ford mat and smile all day long --Smartest.

I put the BedRug bed liner in mine and it had slits in the bottom to allow the loops to come through, but not big cutouts like the mats pictured

I got the factory Ford bed mat with points on @Dave Os post and it is pretty nice. I have it over the factory spray in liner and that is also very nice.

I have seen some folks grab the Tractor Supply horse stall mat. They cut out the area for the tie downs and cut to fit. It isn't quite as wide as the area behind the wheel wells but looks good. Very tough and cheap at $49.99 in my area. Pricing is slightly different depending on location.

I bought 2 of them for $24.95 on sale back in Sept to use as exercise equipment mats for a new workout area we are building. If you look you can find them on sale in a different region.

Switch to that store, order them and set pickup to your local store. Worked like a charm. They were on sale at my local store for $39.99 so saved 15 bucks!
