Pick Up Bed Liners

[Red Horse]

Have to get a liner for F-150. Thinking spray in...Rhino or Line X . Any opinions?

 

[dodge man]

Either one, I know I’ve had Line X in the past but I don’t think there is a lot of difference.

 

[Gregster613]

I had Rhino sprayed onto my '82 Caballero many years ago and it's held up just fine.

 

[Thomas]

Had Line X spray several years ago holding up great.

No complaints with Line-X in my 22 yo to-de-dump Tundra pickup. I suspect the guy doing the install is a key. I recall him asking how fine or coarse I wanted the texture. $250 in 2001. What are they charging now?

 

[Rockbadchild]

Same things in my opinion. Both good options.

 

[Paystar]

All I can say is my dealer talked me into putting a plastic liner in my new F150 and never ever again will I buy one of those pieces of crap. I'm probably just going to throw that $800 away and get it sprayed.
I almost broke my tailbone on that crap this winter. I have a fuel transfer tank in the bed, so probably some fuel drippings mixed with the snow and ice.....I went to get up into the bed of the truck and before I knew it I was on the ground on my butt.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

I have always used the fitted rubber liners in my trucks. Cargo stays put, and the price is right. The only disadvantage is that dirt and grime accumulate under the liner.

I've had both spray in and the full sized rubber mat. Liked them both but think that I'd go with the spray in as the whole inside of the bed is protected. Also recommend the over the lip style.

Bought a used truck with plastic Bed liner. It was slick.
current truck has line X , still looks good after seven years

Plastic bedliner and rubber mats will rust away your bed in my experiences with them bad thing for me anyway, I didn't fully realize it til it was to late. First truck I owned with a spray in bed liner is my current one I'll never try or use anything else again. Unsure on brand of spray but it has held up well in 7-8 yrs.

I have had plastic, line x, and nothing. All my beds rot out from underneath the cross members never had holes in the bed floor. I don't see a difference with any liners

Every truck I've owned with a plastic bed liner or a semi fitted rubber mat have had rusty perforated holes in the bed itself. Including the the top of bed rails where the plastic overlaps to try and protect them. Not to mention as previously stated by others a plastic bedliner gets pretty slick with snow and oil buildup. It should be noted I do live in a 4 season heavily salted rust belt.

Those are good for fleet vehicles but there's no way I'd have one in my personal truck. My Colorado came with a sprayed in, I'm not sure which brand. I have since put in a rubber bed mat to keep things from sliding around. I wouldn't own a pickup which didn't have both spray and mat.

...and they retain moisture underneath and rust the bed as well.

The odd man out, I did my own with Herculiner and it came out nice. I'm cheap...lol

 

[5030]

Think I paid 60 bucks for everything. Harbor Freight sells Herculiner btw. That was the liner material, rollers, brushes and latex gloves. Like I said, I'm cheap.

I don't know what brand Kubota sprays in their RTV's but my X1100C has dumped NUMEROUS loads of gravel and firewood and it still looks brand new.

Luckily mine is aluminum. That is why dealer talked me into plastic, to have a another layer of dent protection. But I'm careful when I load stuff anyway, so it's not really an issue for me.

I have a plastic liner in my Ram that came with it used. I've had LineX in work vehicles; and it's pretty good. It does get cut if you have a lot of sharp stuff rattling around back there; but is just that small area, doesn't seem to just peel around the damage. I've done the Herculine once, hated it. Probably user error, but its not nearly as thick as the pro stuff, and did peel around any damaged areas. The plastic liner is terrible for stuff sliding around, But if your ever going to put a pallet or concrete blocks, ect in there, it does protect. I've also had the 4x8 stall mat style, that you cut to length. Mine didn't go around the wheel wells, and gas/oil/dirt gets in underneath. Works great for protecting, and doesn't slide.

Edit: I've started keeping a manhole hook in the truck to reach stuff that always seems to slide to the front...
