[Hoss Dawson]

Hi

What is the best bed liner to get and approximate cost.

Thanks for your help,

Hoss

Linex...Just had it sprayed in 525$ out the door...No brainer getting the spray in...

I second the LineX recommendation.

I have a Rhino Liner or something I think, it was right around $500 to get it done.

 

Line-X was over $700 where I live.

The Linex is worth every penny......Around here in the Boston area the linex starts at 500 and goes up a next level to 625 if I remember correctly...The only difference in the 2 the guy told me was one sun fades a little quicker on the 500$ one...I have a tonneau cover,and my truck is garaged so I really don’t need to worry about it fading...

i recommend the bed Carpet, its easy to install and remove and the bed will have the oem paint finish when you sell it.  $200, partial kit, and $400 for full bed kit

My previous truck had a spray in bed liner, but everything would slide around back there, this time I went with a simple $100 Rough Country rubber bed mat.  I like it, things don't slide around anymore, but it doesn't protect the sides of the bed.

I have no experience with Rhino Liner but this is my 2nd truck with LineX.  Had to cut a hole for the B&W 5th Wheel/Gooseneck adapter.  Used a cricular saw to cut it, you can ser how thick is Line X.

 

The red part is the bed thickness, the blue part is the LineX, is about 1/8 in thick.

I had line x premium in my Colorado witch was cheaper to get done. My Silverado standard bed double cab line x wanted $800 bucks to do it so I went with rhino it was around $500 to do and tbh they both seem about the same the line x seems harder the rhino seems a little more soft/grippy. Either way I’m happy with it it’s under a tonneau cover so fading wont be an issue. Don’t really haul anything either.

Out of curiosity, why did you get the bed liner if you don’t haul stuff?  What made you spend $500 on spray in vs $100 on a bed mat?

I do Occasionally haul stuff in the bed my truck was a dealer demo and had some scratches already in the box. And personally I think a spray in Liner looks a lot cleaner and the bed rugs that cover the whole bed are expensive as well and I just don’t like the look of them.

I think, this time, will skip the Tonneau Cover.  Since the truck main purpose is to haul our 5th Wheel Camper, intalling and removing the 5th Wheel Hitch is easier to deal with.  Beside, when brand new, after the liner was on, I hauled 3 oak trees to the dump site, 5 trips.  I am using the truck like a truck.  Maybe in the future, might get a Tonneau Cover, who knows.

I wish that I could remember the brand of spray in that the dealer had installed in my 2005 Silverado.  It was the typically hard liner.  It almost had a soft feel to it, and was super grippy unless it was wet.  I once drove 45 minutes to work with the tailgate down and a case of oil sitting on it and it didn't move.  I got to work and I was like WTF, no wonder people were giving me a lot of distance today.  :  )

rhino liners is much softer than lineX, i preffer the softer feel , but the linex if very grippy and abraision resistant.  I still would do a full bed carpet with walls and tailgate,  makes crawling in the bed to grab stuff easy on the knees, warmer feel  bed camping, noise isolation is great cause its 1" foam under it, dogs love it,  what else can i rave about. if hauling dirt lumber i would get OEM plastic liner instead of spray liners. they go used on craigslist for  $50
