Default Source for Rubber bed mat

I have a 2011 standard cab Ranger. I want to buy a rubber mat that fits the bed of the truck. I've looked on Amazon, and there is nothing available. Does anyone know of another source? Komac

You don't have any auto parts or truck accessory stores near you?
It'll cost you between $80-$100.
I don't know if millennials realize it but there are more ways to buy stuff than online.

Thanks for the reply. The one auto parts store we have in this small town suggested that I try Amazon. I bought one for my Chevy truck from Amazon a couple of years ago, but there is nothing cut-to-fit for a Ranger that I can find. I have not tried the Ford dealership, about thirty miles away. Komac

Whats your budget son..? I have some contacts your side of the world.

Dvrich is right tho.. a quality mat is gonna be like a $100 or so and plan on paying some shipping because its long and heavy and ALL of the delivery companies now have figured out a way to charge people under Dim/Weight settings.


NOTE::
box a; is 12x12x8 and weighs 12.5lbs
box b; is 34x 18x4 and also weighs 12.5 lbs

but because box b.. takes up more room and its volume would suggest that you can actually put 18.8lbs in it. We now get charged the 18.8lbs charge not for 12.5lbs. Only thing that changes slightly is the formula used. USPS uses 34x18x4=2448/1.3=1,883 or 18.83lbs

UPS uses 1.9 in place of 1.3.., I forget FedEx

I put a heavy bed mat in both my F150s and paid $95 for each plus tax.
There are lightweight ones for less, but the local Leer store had the better ones.
These mats are HEAVY!!!!
If you use the truck for work, a bed liner or spray in liner is best.

Thanks for the replies. I bought a custom-fit rubber bed mat for my 2011 Ford Ranger over the internet today from etrailer.com. The total cost, including shipping, was $112.04. It is supposed to arrive in about a week. They've got an excellent web site. komac

Go to a farm store and buy a horse mat. Cut it to fit and now you have a very durable and custom fit mat for less money.

My brother in law has a heavy mat in the bed of his truck and the bed is rusting out due to water getting trapped under it. Lives in Michigan and power washes the truck during the winter at the diy car wash. I think the water is getting under the mat and mix that with salt all winter long and you get a nice environment for rot. Perhaps greasing the bed before install will help mitigate rust to a certain extent?
