Bed Liner Options

CompactTractorFan · May 25, 2012

Looking for recommendations for lining the bed on our new F-150. We are currently leaning toward getting Line-X.

I was wondering of anyone has any reviews for the Line-X?
Are there other options we should consider?

Line-x is good. My truck is a 2004, and I bought it used, but I suspect it was sprayed when it was new. You can tell it was beat on and a lot of stuff thrown in the bed. Its held up pretty good, but chipped and cut in a few places. If I had a new truck, I'd always go the route of a sprayed in liner.

I've had rhino liner in 3 different trucks, and it is softer. The advantage is stuff won't slide as quickly. The disadvantage is it can be cut. My dad had his LineX in his previous truck it looked good for 4 or 5 years that he had it.

IMHO the dealer doing the install is more important than the product.

It is good stuff but here recently we have started doing our own with kits from the internet. Non of the cheap roll on crap, this is real spray on bed liner. It takes about 3 hours to prep, tape off, then spray a bed. Cost is right at $100.

I kinda think the Chevy dealer bed liners suck around here and I would not get one. I imagine this varies from dealer to dealer and maybe from job to job if they get in a hurry, but my point is "dealer installed" is not necessarily an advantage here.

I added a rhino-liner to my gmc2500 shortly after delivery when new in 2007. The bed and sidewalls still look like new despite almost 5 years of boat equiptment, agricultural tools, kennels and kennel supplies, engines and dinghys. I found the Rhinoliner applied by my guy in Bourne MA to be 2-3 times as thick as the local bed liner competitors. When my 17 year old daughter decided to remodel the right rear quarter panel, the resprayed bedliner on the new sheet metal looks perfect still!!! My vote is Rhinoliner all the way!!!!!!!!!

Link? Might be worth replacing the plastic bedliner insert in our '97 Dodge 1500 for that price.

They'r kinda old school, but I've been moving my rubber "bed mat" from truck to truck since '94. It's one of the best $75 bucks or so I've ever spent!

Ditto here. It's about 1/2 inch thick and stuff doesn't slide very easy. But I'm not rough on it like I used to be when hauling rock, sheep manure, gravel etc.
