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?
There are tons of aftermarket mats. I bought one for the same reasons you listed and it works great.

Just look on amazon

I have an OEM one that I got with the Black Friday deal, every few months or so I feel like they do 20% on the Toyota site, and I browse different dealers to see who has the lowest price.
I love the OEM mat and it works perfectly with no complaints. I’m sure the nicer quality 3rd party companies make great ones as well

After trying 2 aftermarket ones I felt that they were all made at the same factory and were junk. None of them lay perfect and they look horrible IMO. I finally just bought the OE one and could not be happier. Just rip the band aid off once.
