    My old knees are loving the bedrug!!

    Nice and cushy, and I love that things stay where I put them. Hated the drop-in plastic liner that came in my truck. You even look at the brake pedal and everything is up against the cab.

    Now that our fixer upper renovations are done (till wifey says otherwise) I'm not hauling much other than surfboards if I can help it, but if it gets dirty you take a power washer to it.

    Exactly my setup. Since it is held in place by Velcro, I can rip it out if I haul anything like bales of hay that would be tough to clean off of it. Best thing I have done for my aging (73) knees while climbing in.

    I leave the tailgate closed then climb in using the bumper as a step, climbing over the tailgate and then I open the tailgate and do whatever I need to, whether it's shifting stuff to get it out of the truck or securing something in back etc.

    Not sure if it’s the way ….but life, wife, kids and the dog think so!
    Also 16 stitches in meniscus…so yes huge help crawling around back there !
    I’m also little ocd and hose off the bedrug every few weeks and let it sun dry ….pretty easy clean up if you ask me
    If it seems a little damp back there I leave it open and this coastal NC heat will dry it out
