The DeeZee Custom-Fit Truck Bed Mat # DZ87018 weighs approximately 44lbs. Yes, a rubber mat like this one would definitely help with any sliding issues you're having with your truck bed camper. This will also act as a protective barrier and help prevent the camper from scratching or marring the bed of your 2021 Ford Ranger.
