Just bought a new truck and the only thing missing in it is no bed liner. What do you guys prefer?

How much do these things cost these days? My previous truck, which I had for 10 years, came with a liner and bed cover in it so I have never really looked into them much.

Any recs for places to get it done around the Monroe area?

Buy a mat. Spray-in liners are trashy.

Why do you need a liner?


Just throw your shite in the bed as is

I mean that shite eventually starts to scratch the paint and leave black marks all over it (it's a white truck). Will look terrible over time

I had a brand new white f150. Took it tailgating the week after I bought it, and the bed got scratched to hell. Got Line-X on the following Monday.

Mat-$50
Drop In-$100
Spray In-$350-$400

You can make the choice. A nice spray in will always look the best.

I have a drop in from Ford that is okay, but everything slides around more than I would like. Spray in bed liners are the way to go but a little more pricey.

I want to say the spray in is around $900


If you want to match your color it's probably double

What do you think about the line-x? How much did that run you?

Lol how the hell is a spray liner trashy?

The f-150 I recently purchased has a spray in and I love it.

The dealership (Bryan Chevy) in NOLA cost me $400, last week. I think they are about $450-$500 after market.

I think.

Spray in is the way to go. Drop in will eventually trap in moisture (but you'll never see the rust, so who cares). As stated, things do slide a lot on the drop ins.

A mat is the best thing to keep things from sliding around.


My truck is black and the scratches in the bed don't bother me. My bed is covered but not lined with anything.

Line-X was great for me. $450 installed, but you got 10% discount if paying cash, which I did. This was in 2012 in BR.
