I am not going to answer this as I may sound biased as I have owned three Bedrugs. ( 3 different vehicles). But if I were to answer, I would tell you that someone that has owned more than one has never had an issue with water being trapped under theirs, but maybe its just because they had a tonneau cover on all 3 of their vehicles that were water tight...

I know many of you like them. Do some of you guys/gals NOT like them; Why?
I am grateful for any insight. I am looking at something for but I'm not sure which direction I want to go.
Thanks.

If I was using my truck as a real work truck then I wouldn't use a Bed Rug. I'd then go with a spray on liner. For just week end projects and "Tailgating", the Bed Rug is great.
I just went out and looked at my Bed Rug and Marc, you're right
. What I thought said not to put fuel containers in the bed actually just says to remove the container from the bed while filling to prevent a fire from static shock. I guess I should learn to read instead of just looking at the pictures. DOH! :o
Edited to eat crow.

I own a Bedrug in both of our trucks. My other F150 FX4 has an ARE camper shell and we use it for camping and boating. The marine grade carpet is great, I know people that have a Bedrug with no top. My wife sleeps in the truck on the Bedrug while camping. Very easy to install, but like others have said I use it mainly like a big trunk, mostly to hold my golf clubs and such. I have a truck mat I put on top of the Bedrug if I'm going to be carrying anything nasty.

What is the consensus if using a bed rug with no cover? I will be using it for light use, the occasional tailgate, camp out, hauling, etc, but dont necessarily want to get a cover. From your guys' experiences, will this hold up to the weather, or is this mainly to be used with a cover of some sort?

I'm pretty sure your SOL on the older rugs... even their website doesn't list any. You may want to contact them direct.

Yes, great feedback. Thanks a lot.
I am definitely interested in getting one, but was a bit worried about how it would hold up exposed to the elements all the time. Sounds like it would be worth it though.
I will definitely look into further this weekend. Thanks a lot.

I imagine that water could get trapped between the bed and the rug causing some issues there but I really dont' know that is why I am asking you.

Has anybody had an issues with rusting, like the drop in liners?
Also, I currently have the Ford drop in liner from the dealer. If I upgrade to the bedrug, is the factory one just junk, or can I ebay it or something?

Good luck.
I think I maybe getting this bed run after and a extang tuff tonneau afterall.. but I am still thinking about it.. I can get both for 30 dollars more than just the line-x so that is a big plus.
