Nice!I saw your crate in the back of your truck and thought to mention, at least Ford put some consideration in the bed size. I can put a crate with a 20 lb propane cylinder in behind the wood and I can close the tonneau cover to keep it secure.
how thick is the cushion on the mat?Stall Mat from Tractor Supply ($50) cut to fit bed and just enough left over to mount to the tailgate. It can be flipped over to the smooth side.

I use one of the foam kneeling pads. I didn't anchor it down so it's usable anywhere in the bed or changing tire, etc.
Something like the anti-fatigue mats that can be found at Harbor Freight.

Now this is a tush-cush.
I would opt to have it available but not attached. I load too many different things to have it all messed up when I need that infamous Butt Break.

At 72 I still do it, sometimes I have a problem. I still think about someday getting hurt, but still do it anyways!
I went the cheap route. This is a $30 outdoor mat from Home depot. Trimmed to fit it leaves just the right amount for the tailgate. I attached with screws that hold the tailgate plate on. Happy so far.

I appreciate that but your mat is not cushioned enough for me.I went the cheap route. This is a $30 outdoor mat from Home depot. Trimmed to fit it leaves just the right amount for the tailgate. I attached with screws that hold the tailgate plate on. Happy so far.

BooyahSo, why have I never seen this suggested? A kitchen or office cushioned standing pad on your tailgate, secured with strong wide outdoor Velcro strips. Makes the tailgate much easier on the butt or knees.
Thanks
It can. I have both on my MaverickWondering if this could be used even if you opted for the spray in liner?
Great idea. I have the bed rug, but would at times appreciate more cushion. Looks like the fit is darn near perfect. Do you have a link?So, why have I never seen this suggested?
