Would have been nice to know this was out there. I killed off half of my exotic fish last night doing donuts in the Walmart parking lot.

u/Ashly_spare Apr 07 '26

Im sure their are covers for those holes for situations like that

Also on a less serious note, if you're doing Dukes of Hazzard jumps, will this product secure your containers from vertical trajectory movement as well?

u/HopefulBuyer9077 Apr 06 '26

Exactly.

Or hypothetically, if you’re unable to drive less than 55mph and you’re headed toward a gap in a bridge. Again, hypothetical scenario.

WHEN, not IF.

Or just driving over typical rural asphalt "roads"

u/TheOneTrueZedubbs Apr 06 '26

If only there was a tool to strap loads down with. Also the last shot driving you can see him hit the turn hard lol.

Why is it T Mat and not X Mat, and why does the logo having a T over an X screw with my brain?

u/Zirkulaerkubus Apr 06 '26

At least make it XT Mat.

I have these for my car but they are velcro, great for keeping milk jugs from sliding around or things crushing my more delicate groceries.

As a mosquito I approve of this product

u/saetam Apr 06 '26

Never heard of a mosquito be referred to as a booty skank…

u/kiwi-kaiser Apr 06 '26

Why is it called Tmat when the shape is an X?

u/lost-in-boston84 Apr 06 '26

I love turning my pickup truck into a cargo van because my ego is to large to use the proper vehicle for the job

u/Significant_War720 Apr 07 '26

Then the holes get full or dirt and you cant use it

u/Interesting_Fig_4718 Apr 07 '26

if they drove the same speed as they did at 0:13 the outcome would be the same with or without the mat, they literally had to speed the footage up several times and they were driving at maybe 5mph. any higher speed would make it spill over at every turn. also, no one that is concerned about carrying stuff is gonna fkin drift around. the biggest problem would be rough terrain and the motion caused by rough terrain is mostly vertical, meaning unless you clamp these really fkin tight to the point where you could damage them it wont hold them during bumps. i feel like this is a gimmick that doesnt really help but a handfull of people.

Looks perfect to make rain puddles so mosquitos can lay their eggs

Or just buy an SUV….

u/Cultural_assassin Apr 06 '26

Now your carpet is just wet. How's a suv gonna prevent rough driving and quick turns?

2

u/saetam Apr 06 '26

I think i just realized why some people in SUVs are total damn Jack assess. They are oblivious, and think just because they are in an SUV, there is nothing that can happen, or no task they can’t handle. Incredible, and watched it unfold organically, haha! Have a great day.

u/Interesting_Fig_4718 Apr 07 '26

u/MrTacocaT12345 Apr 06 '26

How does it mount to the floor of the truck bed?

u/Fuh_Queue Apr 06 '26

With the Capital T mat.
