Just don't bed line both sides of anything you want to last. My buddy with grizzlies had his stock trailer he moves them sprained inside and out. It traps s moisture and rusted it so they are not road worthy for moving his bears now and we used his girlfriends trailer last time we moved them.

Rino lining was one of his sponsors at the time so was free and why he had it done like that. It looked good but he said he should have only had them do one side not both.

I have always had either a plastic bedliner, a rubber bed mat, or both and have never had a rust issue. Had some rubbing on the paint in a couple spots from the plastic liner, but no rust. I bought my first new truck last year. I had it lined from the factory - very similar to if not Linex, and I bought a rubber bed mat - easy on the knees, keeps stuff from sliding, and protects everything.

Also have a 99 Ford Ranger bought a couple years ago- has a plastic bed liner in it. No rust underneath that amounts to anything that I can see...and I added a rubber bed mat.

On my 2015 I put in a molded drop in bed liner. last year when I traded it the bed was like new. the new GMC came with a sprayed in liner. the roughness of it is hard on the knees.

Sometimes a slick bed is nicer than one that's not. Like unloading bedding from stalls. Also seems like the texture would be more difficult to keep clean . My old 97 ranger has paint it's scratched and dented up but not rusted. I have been thinking about having it lined but those two thing have keep me from doing so.

Very good points. That's why I like the rubber bed mat. I can just roll it out of the bed if I am moving stuff like bedding, dirt or mulch. Then hose the bed out, let it dry and put the mat back in.

^^^^^^ saved me some typing

I got my new truck. I might use this for the bedliner & to protect in the inner rear fenders

I threw a big chunk of red oak in my Line-X and it dinged it down to the metal... they resprayed the whole bed no questioned asked for no cost.

Another vote for rhinoliner!

Don't they make a preparatory product once called Preps-all, or something like that, to ensure the roll on bedliner adheres well?

Did you brush it on certain areas under your truck?

they spray the underside, just like the box...it works, and unless you are buying a new truck every 3-4 years max, it's a good investment

I have a drop-in bed liner in a ranch pickup that is coming on 20 years old. Last summer I took it out and look at the box bed to see what it looked like. To my surprise it looked like it came from the show room. Totally impressed no rust or rubbed areas.

The problem I have with spray-in is that you still dent scrap and scare the bed and box. The worst to me is dents and drop-ins you don't get dents. If I used pickups to go, get groceries than I would install the spray in liner.

A work and general truck I use drop-in liners.

Interesting. I can't picture how to keep the spray away from seals or other areas one might not want to line, but I'll take your word for it. It might be a better option than oil.

I've seen way too many plastic bed liners lying on the sides of highways...not that any of my trucks would ever would of been empty enough for that to happen lol

Some bedliners suggest scuffing up the paint to get better adherence, but I can't see roughing up the paint on a new truck.
