I have never understood the bed lining philosophy except if you like the looks. I have heard many say they want them to protect the bed, I don't get that, if you drop something hard or heavy enough to dent the bed it will still dent it with a bed liner. Also slide in types ruin the paint due to the movements, spray it in well obviously you ruined the paint to spray it in. So the only reason to put one in is because you like the looks more than the matching paint from the factory, but then a year or so later they look terrible due to the fading.

I agree about the slide in types, and they also trap moisture which can cause rust in some climates. I really like the factory spray liner on my Ram, though. My previous truck beds have always ended up looking like cr@p to the point where there was more bare metal than paint. I've got a few dents already but so far this thing has held up great. Eventually it may fade some but that's still better than what I've ended up with in the past.
