Reaching into a tall truck bed can take more effort than expected, especially when a topper reduces overhead space. For many drivers, it means climbing, stretching, and managing gear in uncomfortable positions. Over time, those small challenges become a real barrier to enjoying your truck the way you want to.
David T., a 77-year-old Ford F-150 owner and model airplane enthusiast, struggled with his truck’s height and A.R.E. cap. Using a step stool and bumping his head became routine, and he needed an easier way to reach his gear without climbing or straining his knees.
David’s Highlight
“My F-150 sits pretty high off the ground, so I had to use a two-step stool to load and unload my planes and accessories, and I kept bumping my head on the topper. After installing my Tmat, everything became so much easier. I no longer have to climb into the truck bed. I can reach all my gear from the ground and get the job done in about half the time. It’s been a huge relief for both my knees and my head. The adjustable stops work perfectly, and I added a 1/8" 4x8 sheet of masonite under the mat to help it slide smoothly over my spray-in liner.”
A Faster, Easier Way to Reach and Organize Gear
Tmat transformed the way David loaded his gear. The slide-out mat brought everything within reach at the tailgate, eliminating the need to climb into the bed or crouch under the cap. Its grid-based layout and plug-in blockers kept his planes organized, and a thin masonite sheet helped the mat glide smoothly over his spray-in liner. With easier access and better organization, he now loads and unloads in about half the time with far less strain.
