How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the WeatherTech impact liner on our 2023 Ford F-150. So the impact liner is the newest liner from WeatherTech that has a slightly different style. It is still thermoplastic that's gonna hold up against the elements, no matter if you're in a hot climate or cold climate, and also protect the value of your bed. But this is designed to give you a little bit more protection as far as impact. Along the whole bottom, you're gonna have the impact rings underneath that are designed to absorb shock, so when you have those heavy loads in the bed of your truck, as well as create some elevation for airflow. As far as the fit in the bed, it is laser measured to match all the contours of the bed.
You may notice with my demo model here, we're kind of sticking up and curled a little bit along the edges here. Along the well wells is kind of out a little bit as well. It is January here in Missouri where we're shooting this, and it's one of the colder months. So in the warmer climates, you definitely want to just let it just sit out in the sun. If you are in the cold area, like where we are, if we we inchesre to leave it overnight inside here in the heat, it would just settle and lay into place.
Having a bed mat is a great way to protect your bed against the damages that you get, especially if you use your truck as a truck. As far as water protection, one of the better measures to work along with the impact liner would be having a Tonneau cover as well, to give you additional security as well as better fuel economy. The installation is super easy, lightweight prep that you would have to do to get everything secured, and I can show you how to get it going. So hang on, we'll get this installed. We're gonna start our installation with taking our impact liner out of the box and give it a period of time to settle or relax.
The material itself, just in the shipping process of being in the box, kind of gets stiff and conforms to that, but once it gets to room temperature, it just conforms to the truck liner the way you need it to. So after that period, you can just roll it out flat and it'll just fall to the form, right to the edges of your truck. You may have to give it a little tub and it should grab the bed just like so and as you see, it'll just fit right in. You we're gonna do the same on this side, and it's just that easy. Included with the impact liner is a retention system.
It's a ball socket that you're gonna install by first prepping the area on the other side of your impact mat using the included alcohol. If it wipe isn't enough, you know, just grab some from out your medicine cabinet and you're gonna need a box cutter also to cut out the pre trimmed space for where your socket aligns. Once you do get the area prepped, you're gonna remove the film on the back and press that against the back of your bed and just make that ball and socket connection to pertain your liner so you don't have to worry about it sliding. Because this is just a demonstration, we didn't do the complete installation portion, but that would be the final step for your install. When I worked here at etrailer in customer services, someone wanted to get a bedliner system. I always suggest getting the tailgate along with it. Just the fact that you're gonna pass over whatever you're loading through your tailgate, it has the exact same paint, so it'll give you the same type of protection. So this has been a look at the impact liner from WeatherTech on our 2023 Ford F-150. I'm Ed, this is etrailer.com, and you have a great day.

Protect the bed of your truck from damage while also helping to keep your loaded cargo in place. Raised outer edge covers the back and sides to help contain spills. Specially designed ribs and treads channel fluids, dirt, and debris.The TechLiner is a great product. It fit perfectly and looks awesome. You do need to let it sit in the sun for a couple hours to flatten out. This liner does velcro to your truck bed and may be a hassle if you feel a need to remove it for cleaning very often.
I purchased the tailgate protector. The material is soft and pliable. Unfortunately,the plastic washers that come with it are too small and therefore soon after installation, the protector peeled away from the tailgate at the top where it uses the washers to keep it in place. I ended up using some larger diameter washers to keep it secure. It fits well, and now does a great job of protecting my tailgate.
We received this item in a damaged box that was taped up on one end and busted open on the other end with the mat dirty and warped hanging out of the box. I don't know who to blame the damage on but we are not happy with a damaged product. It is dirty and looks like it may have been used and placed back in the box. I'm expecting this problem to be corrected.
Installation was quick and easy. It fit well and appears to be durable.
Was easy to install. Secured by factory bolts in tailgate. Looks nice no issues.
Up until about a week ago, the bed liner was working just fine, but then the adhesive holding several of the Velcro strips failed or wore out, and the liner caught air and pulled away from the rest of the Velcro and flew out of the bed. I had to pull over to retrieve it from the roadway. I've tried applying some more adhesive, but it still gets air under it, so I had to remove it completely.
Overall the bed liner was easy to install, the fact that it was designed to fit the bed of my specific truck and had a good fit and finish was important to me.
Another nice attribute is that the liner extends up the walls of the bed and does not simply end at the bottom of the bed. This helps keep snow and water and debris away from the bed itself.
The service I received from etrailer was above and beyond and exceeded my expectations.
Jena called me to update me on a change to my order, then followed up twice to let me know the item had shipped.
Highly recommend etrailer !!
Stays in place,makes loading heave things much better because it protects the tail gate.Easy to clean up.
Could easily be made better. The material is great but they could improve the interface with the upper lip of the tailgate and include MORE hook and loop. Also, even though it's fairly obvious, they don't mention using the shoulder washers when screwing it down.
It’s very light duty and difficult to clip in. Clips get caught up on any cargo your sliding out .
It looks nice new but not very functional if you use your truck bed.
This product will not install on a tailgate that has a spray on bed liner applied. The mat will not fit under the supplied clips. I drilled out all the holes and just used the existing tailgate hardware to attach it. Poor design by WeatherTech. I recommend etrailer to not carry this product.
The liner is thinner than expected.
It was a perfect fit. I did need to lift the plastic end of the tail-gate, then drill holes for where the tabs go through, thus making the strip they send along unnecessary. I'm thrilled with the way it looks.
La verdad me gustaría regresarlo pero ya lo corté para acomodarlo No vale$ lo que cuesta. [Truthfully I'd like to return it but I already cut it to fit. Not worth the cost]
The Bed Mat is 100% durable in my experience and I re ommend it
Tailgate liner was thinner and more flexible than I anticipated, but the material seems tough. It has held up well to heavy use.
I pretty much trust everything Weather Tech, but this product missed the mark. It was EXTREMELY difficult to install. It uses a long plastic "C" clip along the upper edge of the tailgate to hold down the mat. You're suppose to install the clip and then slide the mat in from one end, even with lube it wouldn't slide in. I've been working on my own cars for 50 years. It took me quite a while to get the mat into the "C" clip. Then you have to move it back and forth some to line up the screw holes that are reused in the tailgate.
The product does what it's suppose to, protects tailgate from scratches and dings. Looks good and is durable overall. One thing that could be better is the trim/attachment strip at the top. It is a harder plastic that can be caught when sliding something out and gets chipped and broken. Overall the product works as intended.
It fits in the truck box of my 2021 Ford F-150 Power Boost perfectly! I had to trim a little piece off around the power outlets.
I’ve used Weather Tech products for years, they are terrific. .
It is a good product and does what it is supposed to - protect your tailgate. A couple of things that I noted, though, and they may or may not apply to you. The first is that it is impacted a lot by direct sunlight - meaning it expands and contracts a bit more than I would have expected.
The other is that I use trail seal for my tailgate for the times I am using a tonneau cover. This product doesn't lie quite flat at the bottom of the tailgate and would push the trail seal away. This is resolved by trimming the bottom inch of the mat.
I’m disappointed that the holes for screwing the liner down are to big and the screws go right through them . I will have to get washers to hold it down .
Fast service, excellent quality product, easy instructions and fits perfectly!!!
My opinion it’s too flimsy.it doesn’t lay flat in the closed position at the top of tail gate. Needs to be more rigid I
