What is wrong with spending $300 to protect a new truck that costs 100X
that? Do you also not want to spend the $100 on a set of factory service
manuals (or CDs) too? I order the service manuals at the same time I
order the truck, and by the time the truck arrives I know every detail
of it.

I always buy the factory manual set, too, and check it for gotchas
like jacking / towing restrictions, difficult maintenance operations,
or special tools which I can usually buy cheap in a discount store.

I bought the factory bed liner for my truck one year later when the
dealer was selling them off at half price. It's good general
protection but when hauling machinery I replace it with a plywood
floor, front bed & window protector made of PT planks and a crane in
the rear attached by the bed bolts, with solid tie-down eyes low in
all 4 corners.
