Favorite Bed Liner Option?

[tardman91]

So what's your favorite option when it comes to bed liners? I'm impatiently awaiting the arrival of my new truck and am having trouble deciding. What's do you love/hate and why?
I had Line-X in my old 2005 SuperCrew (cost $500 at the time), and while I liked it a lot, it faded badly in the FL sun. I got a quote and it's up to $749 for the one with the UV protection, so at that price I'm much less interested.
Drop ins seems to be the most economical, running in the $200 range for most. Not too worried about wear since the bed is aluminum and won't rust.
The bed rug has me interested, but I'm not sure about long-term durability. The truck will be living outside in the FL sun, and I'm not sure if I'll get a tonneau or not. Seems to be in the $400 range, which is about the top of what I want to pay.
Not too fond of the bed mat because there's no side protection. I don't think I can stand scratches and dings if I just go totally unprotected.
Help me decide!

Last two trucks I've had a combination of Bed Mat and either a drop in or sprayed in liner. I'm not a fan of just the Bed Mat either, but do really like that it pretty much eliminates items from sliding in the bed. That was a huge problem with the drop in liner and less of a one with the spray in. Had my last Bed Mat for 6 years and it looks the same as when I bought it with a few cleanings from time to time.

I installed the BedRug for several reasons.

• Easy to DIY install
• Knee friendly 3/4" cushioned floor
• Keeps cargo from sliding around better than spray in
• Waterproof, chemical, & stain resistant
• Easy to clean
• Made in the USA
• Limited lifetime warranty

The following YouTube videos review the BedRug after long-term usage;

Everyone has different needs and uses for their truck, so my needs won't work for everyone.
YMMV
Good luck with your decision.

Apparently there is a global supply shortage of the polyurethane material that goes into making the spray in bed liners.

I am on a wait list to have one installed on my truck next month. It seems to be the most durable thing in the market, and won’t rub, scratch, or allow moisture to get into the bed. Looking forward to it!

I've had a couple Bed Rugs which I really like but I had toppers on both those trucks and a small trailer if I wanted to haul dirt, rock, etc. I have a spray in liner now and the truck I've ordered is coming with the spray in liner whenever that is.

I hunt, so spray in is the easiest to clean blood out of and none can get trapped under a drop in and stink.

Have had linex in previous trucks but, going with the bedbug this time.
Don't use my truck for work and have a trailer to haul loads, if I need to.
A friend has been using Bedrugs for awhile now and says it has been great for light loads and nothing slides on it!

We'll see...

Line-X for best durability in my experience. Haven't ever used a BedRug though

Im going to go with line x when I get my truck but unfortunately ill have to wait at 3 weeks before I can get it sprayed....Im not going to haul a lot but the durability and warranty make it worth the $.

I have had both spray and drop in. I like the drop in myself. I have a Ford drop in now and like the fit, they are tough.

I was leaning towards a bed rug, but I talked to the GSM at my dealership and he can get me Line-X premium at the dealer cost of $604. So I’ll save $150 over the quote I got directly from Line-X and I can roll it into my loan so I’m going to go that route.

I'm of the opinion that a Bed Liner is for when you go to sell the truck.
Till then, a rubber mat to keep things from sliding around.

But that's just "me".

From what a buddy told me, who's had bedbugs in his last 2 F150's, nothing slides on it.
Again if I used my truck as a work truck, definitely would be spray in, but since I got a 6x10 trailer, I'll haul heavy stuff in it when needed.

That's pretty much my situation.
Trailers.

I'm putting the Decked system with a solid fiberglass top. I'll use trailers for hauling anything besides tools.

When and if I sell, the bed will be pretty much pristine.
