I bought a complete set of @TripleAliners mats, bed-liner, and tailgate mat for my 2024 double cab and 5' bed. I had a set of heavy duty liners from Weathertech for my 99' but they don't offer a product for the 2024. I had looked at the Toyota parts mat set for 2024, but this product comes with four mats, and does not cover the rear center section.
Keep in mind, this is a heavy duty mat, some mat companies offer other types of rubber mats. This type of liner has a bowl type "lip" to keep melted snow, mud, or a spilled drink from flowing into the carpet. The complete set includes the drivers and passenger mats, and a single mat that covers the rear passengers floor as well as the carpet over the driveshaft hump in the middle. The TripleA mats arrived in about a week. They are comparable to the Weathertech mats I had in my 99' as well as the Toyota mats I looked at from the dealership.
All of the mats need to sit in the sun a while to straighten out from the folding within the shipping containers. The interior mats fit well. I had a slight fold at the lip by the drives door, but it eventually molded to the contour of the truck.
The bed-liner and tailgate cover require modification. The instructions suggest poking a hole in the liner and attaching the liner with the existing bed and tailgate bolts. This was pretty easy with the tailgate, but you will need a metric torx set. My liner had what I would call a defect in how it was "overcut," but I was able to trim it back and it was not really noticeable.
My dealership sells all trucks with a spray-on bed-liner. This was a bit of a problem. It is nearly impossible to remove the bed bolts that have been "sprayed" with the bed-liner. The two rear bolts supporting the factory tie-downs are not sprayed. However, the spray-on liner around the tie-down raises the height of the bolt enough that getting the threads to attach is difficult.
I had sent an e-mail to Lydia at TripleA liners, the designated customer service address, but I did not receive a reply. A few days later I answered a question on this forum and mentioned I had a problem, but was awaiting customer service. I did receive a reply and personal message on the forum. They sent me a couple pictures of options of cutting around the bolt so the complete tie-down is outside the bed-liner. However, I would like the mat to be secured to the bed. In the end, I looked at longer bolts, and cutting the spray-on bed-liner away from the front bed-bolts so that it will be firmly attached.
Overall, I like the products. I suggested the company clearly explain the possible complications with a spray-on bed-liner on their website. I also am a huge advocate of buying from companies that provide good customer service with a clear phone number, address, and email address on their websites.
