A cargo protecting system for a vehicle having a load-carrying bed comprises a support structure and a bed floor fixedly supported by the support structure. The support structure forms at least a portion of a frame of a vehicle. The bed floor includes a support surface having a plurality of longitudinal extending, spaced apart raised ridges for directly supporting cargo. Each ridge has elevated and angled parts and an upper part. The upper part of each ridge has an increased thickness compared to the other parts and a raised section for increased strength and rigidity of the ridge. Each ridge includes a wear resistant surface having a first texture disposed substantially over the entire ridge and a second texture disposed over the upper part of the ridge. The second texture is disposed at least partially over the first texture.

A cargo protecting system for a vehicle having a load-carrying bed, the system comprising: a support structure; anda bed floor fixedly supported by the support structure, the bed floor including a support surface and a plurality of longitudinal extending, spaced apart raised ridges located on the support surface for directly supporting cargo, each ridge having a pair of side walls and a top wall, the top wall of each ridge having a generally corrugated profile,wherein the support surface has a thickness, the side walls of each ridge have a thickness greater than the support surface thickness and the top wall has a thickness greater than the thickness of each side wall. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one ridge of the plurality of ridges includes a wear resistant surface having a first texture and a second texture disposed at least partially over the first texture, the wear resistant surface providing color uniformity to the bed floor. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first texture is disposed on the side walls and top wall of the at least one ridge and the second texture is disposed on the top wall of the at least one ridge. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the first texture is stipple shaped and has a depth of about 200 microns and the second texture includes a plurality of spaced apart projections. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the top wall of the ridge includes a longitudinally extending depressed section. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the top wall of the ridge includes a longitudinally extending raised section, the raised section of the top wall having a thickness equal to the thickness of the top wall. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the top wall of the ridge includes at least two spaced apart, longitudinally extending ribs, each rib of the top wall having a thickness greater than the thickness of the top wall. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the top wall of the ridge has a generally arcuate shape, the top wall having a central section and end sections, the central section of the top wall having a thickness greater than a thickness of each end section of the top wall. 9. A cargo protecting system for a vehicle having a load-carrying bed, the system comprising: a support structure forming at least a portion of a frame of the vehicle; anda bed floor fixedly supported by the support structure, the bed floor including a support surface and a plurality of longitudinal extending, spaced apart raised ridges located on the support surface for directly supporting cargo, each ridge having elevated and angled parts and an upper part, the upper part of each ridge having an increased thickness compared to the elevated and angled parts and a raised section for increased strength and rigidity of the ridge, an outer surface of each ridge including a wear resistant surface having a first texture disposed substantially over the outer surface of the entire ridge including the elevated and angled parts and the upper part and a second texture disposed solely over the upper part of the ridge, the second texture being different than the first texture and disposed at least partially over the first texture. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the raised section is at least partially defined by a bottom surface of the upper part and has a thickness equal to the thickness of the upper part. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the raised section has a thickness greater than the thickness of the upper part. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the upper part has a generally corrugated profile. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein the first texture is stipple shaped and the second texture comprises a diamond-plate feature. 14. A load-carrying bed for attachment to a frame of a vehicle, the bed comprising: a bed floor fixedly supported by the vehicle frame, the bed floor including a support surface and a plurality of longitudinal extending, spaced apart ridges located on the support surface for directly supporting cargo, each ridge including a pair of side walls and a top wall, each ridge including a wear resistant surface having a first texture disposed substantially over the entire ridge and a second texture disposed over the top wall of the ridge,wherein the second texture is disposed at least partially over the first texture, the first texture being stipple shaped and the second texture comprising a plurality of spaced apart projections. 15.

The bed of claim 14, wherein each ridge has a generally corrugated profile, the top wall defining a first support surface and a second support surface spaced from the first support surface. 18. The bed of claim 14, wherein the ridge includes at least one raised, longitudinally extending rib. 19. The bed of claim 18, wherein a section of the ridge that includes the rib has a thickness equal to a thickness of a section of the ridge not having the rib, a bottom surface of the rib of the ridge being offset from and generally parallel to a bottom surface of the non-rib section of the ridge. 20. The bed of claim 18, wherein a section of the ridge that includes the rib has a thickness greater than a thickness of a section of the ridge not having the rib, a bottom surface of the rib section of the ridge and a bottom surface of the non-rib section of the ridge together defining a common bottom surface.
