Rhino Liner Vs. Line-X Bed Liner
Looking for opinions on which is better.
Forum Discussion
I've had both. The Rhino is a little softer, so it is better for slip resistance if you walk around in your truck bed alot. The Line-X is "harder and slicker" and has a shinier look to it.
I had the Rhino first. It's been in my truck for about 4 years now. I've had one problem with it - where a fifth wheel mounting plate bracket got loose (sharp corner), it "tore" for about 2 inches. That was pretty severe service, though. I spoke with the Rhino installer and he said bring it back and he would fix it (don't know if that means patch). The Line-X (different truck) hasn't really been in long enough to evaluate (or have problems with), but it seems to be very tough.
Like Charlie D said, "I believe that preparation and installation are keys to a good liners" - I agree with that - and that means the individual installer. The reason I went to Line-X this time was the specific installer really seemed to prepare the surface properly. He cleaned, then sanded, then cleaned, then allowed the surface to dry before completely before applying the goop. It took a little longer, but I think he did a good job. So, talk to the individual installers and make a judgement on how they prep the surface.
Both seem to work well under normal service, though. Check for specials and also the warranty.
