What's The Best Bedliner? - 04/30/16 09:36 PM
Line-X, Rhinoliner, what's the best bed liner for a new truck bed? Looking for plain black and nothing slick when wet.

Coming from a guy who installed them for a few years, LineEx is the best, and I only sprayed them a few months. That being said, I don't put any kind of bed liner in my beds. They will all chip, so I don't waste my money on something that will still get torn up. I haul a bunch of rock in the bed of my truck, always sliding the shovels in to scoop the rock out, it's scratched beyond repair, but then again it's a truck bed.

Whatever they put in my Tundra from the factory cannot be harmed. Believe me I have tried.

There's an echo in this thread.... Factory, period.

I used to spray bedliners year ago. If nothing has changed chemically then there's only 2 kinds. 1:1 and 2:1 ratio mixes. LineX type products are 1:1 and Rhino types are 2:1. The LineX types are harder/more durable, look more uniform like paint, but they are not as slip resistant. The Rhino type are softer, very slip resistant, but don't look as good to me and they tear easier. Just depends on what you are looking for. If you want your stuff to stay where you put it and not slide: Rhino. If you are going to abuse it heavily: LineX.

Wanna bet
Ummm...no.
But everything I have thrown at it including steel, gravel and power steering fluid haven't been able to bother it.

+1. When I first got my Tundra, I used to worry about scratching or chipping it. After almost 3 years, I don't worry about that any more.

Truth spoken here. My 2013 factory Ford bedliner is tough as nails but items slide around like greased owl poop on a banana. My favorite was the Rhino Liner that I put in a F350 in 1999. It ended up with a couple of chips, but stuff stayed put.

I have a bed mat over my bed liner and always have. It keeps stuff from sliding around.

I have been using a bed mat since the early 1990s. The spray in and hard bedliners will not keep things in place but do offer protection to your bed. Tractor Supply carries DeeZee brand bed mats for about $100 for most size trucks, I would never have a truck without a bed mat as I carry too much stuff in the bed that tends to slide all over the place without a mat. If you are bound & determined to do a spray in, put a bed mat in after it's sprayed and you should be golden for the life of the truck.

I guess I am the only one that likes the hard plastic bed liners. I have had many different brand spray ons and they all have chipped, scratched off and look like crap. I have learn to cope with stuff sliding on the plastic, then again that's not always a bad thing either. My biggest problem with the plastic is the tailgate part tears off, requiring mods to make it mount better.
