OEM vs Aftermarket bed mat

[Dayen]

What do people think of the OEM and aftermarket bed mats? Are the OEM ones nice enough to warrant the $180 vs $100 or less for an aftermarket one?
I am okay with spending more money if it's actually worth the cost, just not sure that it is.

I cannot comment on the aftermarket bed mats, but I had an OEM on my Gen 3 and purchased an OEM for my Gen 4. I also purchased an OEM mat for my son's Gen 3. I have to say this is a top quality product, I especially like that it lays flat from the start, fits perfectly, and keeps things from sliding around in the bed. Perhaps you can find one on sale, I have purchased several OEM parts from Toyota dealers that sell online at a discount. In short, I would highly recommend the OEM mat if you are willing to spurge for a some more money.

I agree with the post above. I have the OEM mat as well. I looked into other options yet still opted for the OEM one. The material is thicker yet more pliable and seems to be more durable. Anything close and the price point will be almost similar to the OEM mat, so why not go OEM? I feel like this is one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for kinda thing.

I bought a tripleALiners mat on amazon because I couldn’t get an OEM one.

I’d recommend it. Worked out great.

I got the off brand amazon one for like 90 bucks. Exact same design as the lastfit one but without a logo (pretty sure they all come from the same factory in china so just find the cheapest one on amazon). Fit's very well, really contours exactly to the bed, lots of friction so stuff doesn't slide at all. OEM toyota stuff is always nice, I could't find one in stock when I got my truck so I can't really say. The aftermarket is nice becasue I don't feel bad gouging it up and getting it dirty. Even drilled some holes for drainage and made some cut outs for the drings. Really digging it.
