Help me chose a spray in bed liner

The problem I have with spray in liners is they fade so bad that after a few years it makes the rest of the truck look bad.

I prefer a rubber bed mat.

I have 4 year old Linex with uv protection and it still looks like new.

Get the factory spray in from the truck you choose Ford, Ram GM

Unless something has changed the big issue with the factory liners is the warranty ends when the bumper to bumper runs out! With Line X and Rhino you have a lifetime warranty.

Unless you don't have any other option, I would suggest not going with a "off brand". Never know if the dealer will still be in business down the road if warranty work is needed. With Line X you have a nationwide dealer network to cover warranty issues, even if you move.

We have had Line X for a little over 2yrs, still happy. We do have a topper so the liner is protected from the sun. Had a "same as Line X" liner in our '10-1500, dealer was out of business by the time we bought the '13-2500. So much for the "lifetime warranty" if we had kept the truck and needed warranty work.

Good luck deciding!!!

Ya, its just terrible how many people are running up to your truck, and looking into the bed, and saying how bad that liner is. Thats one of the main concerns in my life , a spray in bed liner thats faded a bit . Can't count the nights I've layed awake worrying about a faded bed liner :R

I have factory spray in mine and I like it. I don't really care if the warranty runs out on it cause I don't expect it to stay flawless - it's a truck bed. It seems pretty durable so far, though.

I've had my Rhino liner for a month now....so far so good!.....no problems!

Have had three of them over the past 21 years, and have no complaints. They do fade over time, not an issue for me. Still looks better then a scratched up rusty bed. JMHO. Check with fish he enters his in the truck shows, so they can't be fading . :B

I went with Line-X and it held up great. One thing I wish I did was get the over the rail option. If your bed doesn't have the top rail protection, have the, sprayed also.

If dodge and gm factory liners are as good as the Ford one I have, there is no way I would take a chance on the after market one. Unless it is much cheaper. :h

Factory spray or Line-X!
