Pick Up Bed Liners

Sgt. This mat needs to be heavy enough to lay flat in highway speed wind. Once air gets under enough of it..... adios.

The stall mats, cut it yourself mats, etc are all fine, but a rubber mat, already sized to fit the bed around the wheel wells is only a little over $100. On my last truck I had DIY Herculiner with a rubber mat and on my current truck I have a factory spray in with the rubber mat. Both are good but the factory spray on is absolutely the best. The rubber mat will last forever. And there is no way it will ever lift at speed.

Sorry, forgot to mention, my truck has a Truxedo/Tonneau Cover, which I keep deployed, unless I am hauling something too tall for it. Good point, though. I'll need to keep that in mind. Cheers!

Well guys a lot of opinions and a lot of pluses and minuses for spray ins-both brands -as well as plastic.. I was all set to go with Line X (I have a booked date in June) and then I thought about my aluminum bed 150. I frequently am moving a heavy PTO Valby chipper as well as a grapple and the thought of them on a liner bed makes me think twice.

The other thing is I can get a Duraliner for under 300 bucks and the Line X is over 600! Now my other question for another thread has anyone hooked up a brake controller on a 150 that only has the hitch as part of the package.?? And you no longer get an owners manual..look it up on your screen

Don't think anyone had mentioned; Portland cement or concrete. It seems to bond to the pores of the spray ons; but flakes off the vinyl ones; or fleck a rubber mat, and it comes off.

Hah- on same note Friday a pal is telling about me about someone who did a spray in on a good sized dump trailer. Quickly discovered that depending on material, cleanout is a problem. and I would imagine again depending on material your dump height may get higher as the load does not start sliding right away at lower dump angle.

A Line-X installer once told me of the various things they have sprayed. Steps, stairs, trailers, etc. That idea has always intrigued me but I have not found a need, yet.

I've had both and will never have a drop-in again. They're slick, they can warp, and when you remove it years later you'll find paint damage and wear from the dirt, water, and friction over time.

Just my 2 cents...
I use my truck as a truck. I have a plastic liner. I also use an easy unloader that mounts to the tailgate. The plastic liner allows movement for the easy unloader. I have unloaded loam, firewood, rock, etc. The spray in liners don't let the unloader slide. I suppose everyone uses their vehicle differently. I'm sure if I remove it the paint will be all chaffed, but its a work truck. Spray on's are a great investment-I do agree.

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

Line-X. Thicker
