   I can understand his pain. I don't have a Tocoma, but I had a Frontier   
   with a factory bed liner. The liner had very tall / hard ridges. It   
   was OK to walk on, but not good to crawl on. I never had a cap on the   
   truck, so this was never a problem for me. What was a problem was now   
   slippery the bed was. Loose items in the rear moved around under the   
   slightest change in speed or direction. This was a farm truck, so I   
   was constantly throwing stuff in the back to move short distances (a   
   few miles at most). Tying things down was a real pain. For my current   
   truck, I stayed away from a bed liner and use a rubber mat instead.   
   All around this is a better solution - for me. Stuff mostly stays put   
   for short trips. The ridges in the Frontiers bed liner did have one   
   nice advantage - they kept things out of  small amounts of water that   
   sometimes accumulated in the bed.
