OEM vs Aftermarket bed mat

For those with LasFit or TripleAliners, did you cut out the pockets for the tie downs? Pics of how it looks?

When you say tie downs, are you talking about the D-rings towards the tailgate? If so, Lasfit has holes pre-drilled for the D-rings.

That looks different than the other pics I've seen.

Must have been a design change? I purchased mine approximately a month ago.

I had to cut out mine, I got it last June. I have since put in bed stiffeners just a week ago and had to cut out more of the mat. I used a utility knife with a new blade when I cut out for the d ring. It looked good IMO. The material cuts reasonably easy for how thick it is. I think I let it sit in the sun so it was a bit softer.

Can you get a better pic of the new cut out design? Thanks

Looking at the local dealerships to me and all the online listings, I won't be able to get this for under $180 for the OEM bed mat. Everyone seems to want at least $50 to ship to RI. Do you think they'd let me pick it up locally to avoid paying shipping? Maybe I can get my seatbelt chime programmed out while I'm at it.

If you can wait for a Toyota parts sale (they run them several times a year), you should be able to get the OEM mat for close to what the others cost w/ free shipping included. That's what I did and the mat is excellent.

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

I’d recommend it. Worked out great.

I also have the Triple A bed mat and it's very high quality. I'm very pleased with it!

I purchased the Weathertech Impactliner and my knees love it when I am back there working on stuff. Nothing slides around. I paid $215 a few months, now they are $319. Is this worth 3x the OEM or Lasfit? Probably not. If I was buying today, I would probably go OEM.

Fits great! And yes, you‘d have to cut out the holes for the hooks. $88 shipped.

Just bought a OEM bed mat for $182 with shipping, I can't afford to wait a few weeks/months for one to go on sale and it was offered with free shipping from this dealer which made it the cheapest I could find at the moment. This should allow me to just drop it in and not have to do any cutting.
Next mod will be running boards and then an auto dimming/homelink rearview mirror if I can figure out what wiring the SR trim does/doesn't have

Expensive, but you will love the OEM mat. Yeah, the next major sale probably isn't till Memorial day. I got mine on the July 4 sale.

If I tried to wait I would just end up banging up a bunch of my stuff in the bed, I've already had a handle on my cooler break from it slamming into the cab under braking. Can't really put bags back there for fear of that happening to them too. This needs to be bought sooner than later to make the bed more usable, saving $40 is just not worth waiting until memorial day because I'll probably kill more than $40 of stuff in that time

I've been scared to put my toolbox back there because it'll also slam back and forth but full of ~50lbs of steel tools... I've had the toolbox riding in the cab with me when I take it places which is pretty lame.

Anyone know if there's a similar tailgate mat or will I need to go aftermarket on that?
