If its not on the market (which not much is for Titan) then sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands.
Two horse stall mats 4'x6'x3/4" from tractor supply $70 in materials and about 3-4 hrs labor. Made a template and cut with an oscillator tool. Finished the edges with a utility knife. Would suggest having a helper because these mats weight 80lbs each before cutting. I think it came out better than expected.

You should make a few extras and sell them to forum members!!!

I had a GM mat in my 2010 1500....cut 1.5" off the front of it and it flopped right into the Titan like it was made for it. (Ya...the GM logo probably costs me a tenth in the 1/4...lol)

Yes, I know it covers up the rail thingy system and the factory box liner...still fits, and I don't need the tie-down rails thingys

Nice! I am not crazy about the rough finish on the bottom of my 2015 Titan bed.

I removed the tie-down rails on the sides and bottom because I never used them and thought they looked ugly (aluminum on black = ugly).

How did you make the template? And what did you make it out of?

I just used 1 of these mats on a 2017 5.5' bed, about 1 inch from the edge of each wheel well, covers most of the bed and cut 6 inches off the long end with a razor knife.One can always buy just one to see if you like it this way as you still have to cut the long end.Don't worry about the wind lifting it up!

 

[scottym]

I assumed you ran the seam down the long end.your method looks very nice.

I used a 2015 titan mat from a friend and used it as main template then just marked minor changes.

That looks heavy duty! Very nice and probably thicker than anything else on the market.

Apologies for digging so far back on my first post but I've been lurking for a while now and wanted to start off by giving back now that I've got my own Titan (as of 7/17/21) and I didn't see any other good posts about bed mats. Like NRA_guy I find the factory spray in liner could work well to take the burrs off of rough cut lumber so my second purchase for the truck was a rubber bed mat.

While the OP's solution is an awesome and the thickest option I thought I'd share the now available options I was able to find to save someone else the research along with the sweet deal going on until the end of the week on the purchase I made:

• TrailFX 614D - I only learned about this brand after calling a LineX place a few counties over hoping they had the DeeZee in stock. He said this part # would fit but it was listed as the same part # for fitting both bed sizes so at least one end will need to be trimmed off for the final fit. I was going to order it through him for helping me find something quality that's actually available but he never sent me the link as it wasn't showing up on his website. So I started searching & found a few trusted sites with some in stock all around the same price +~$45 shipping; Ouch. Then I found AdvanceAutoParts.com has them for $110 w/free shipping. Use JULY20AFF for 20% off until 7/31 to get it for $87.99 +tax shipped to your door!
• DeeZee DZ87013 - As mentioned I was going to buy this since I trust the brand but they are sold out everywhere it seems and on 8 week+ backorder for the 5.5' bed. DZ87014 if you have a King Cab, are available & I assume you could trim the end(s) to fit just the same if you find a deal.
• Access Marine Grade Carpet - Personally I didn't want to install a bunch of snaps or worry about the wind, etc. but this was an option I came across. Highest price option I saw but a long time ago when I had a carpeted Leer High Cap & my wife and I used the truck bed as a "camper" on our base model Dodge this would have been awesome.
• gatorcovers.com has some too but I'm not hyperlinking since I saw too many reviews of a bad fit & the LineX guy I talked to seemed to be familiar with these as a poor brand as well when I mentioned it. I'd go for the OP's option or just buy some rubber floor runners at your local hardware store.

Note that I only searched for 2nd gen options but it seems the bed size is the same for all Titans according to the TrailFX description and another post I saw on here. Except of course King/Crew & maybe XD variances.

Edit: updated link.

That TrailFX 614D looks interesting.

Thanks.

I did the same thing with my Truck except it's called stall mat. Purchased a 4 x 6 sheet of it in 2005 for my first generation Titan for $40 from Fleet Farm and still using it on the current Titan.

Interesting you mention that, my first Titan was a 2005 and kept it until 2008 and had a nice thick rubber mat made for the bed. I took it and it sat for who knows why on my garage floor from 2008 until 2016 when I bought Titan # 2 and fits like it was made for that new truck. It is now in Titan number three and the rubber mat that was in 3 Frontiers is now on the garage floor, lol.

Thanks.

I'll try to get some pictures up but they say I won't get it until next week.

The TrailFX 614D showed up before dinner today!

Shipped from Spokane, WA to MI. Well packaged, thickness is about the same as the keystone of the Cleats they make in Michigan 👍, has the draining nubs on the bottom, good fitment, very minimal memory curl (75F & sunny today).

Comes with an imprinted/scribed cut line for 5.5' beds:

For now though I like how that will keep my metal gas cans etc. from rubbing on the spray in liner up front so I just kept it that way, I'll cut it off and put it in front of a workbench or something if the weight makes it want to push back into the tailgate or it otherwise gets in the way. The spots on the back are just water from the carwash today:

Only Con I noticed so far was with the truck design there are some fairly wide & deep gaps in the bed, like the spots for the Titan Boxes, & since I can't see them anymore my foot wants to roll into some spots, it's not too bad I just have some old ankle injuries/stress so I notice more than most would. The stall mats I'm pretty sure are thicker so that would help offset that issue. However, this has to be lighter which I prefer when I need to take it out to clean out the firewood mess/etc. that makes it's way underneath. Plus I didn't have to do any cutting, and if I do the non-factory cut line will be at the front of the bed or against Titan Boxes.
