Line-X bed liner question

The stuff I had on my 99 turned sort of purple after years of abuse from various chemicals and mud. I haven't bought a bedliner since, but they supposedly have some UV stuff in it now that fixes it. My past three bedliners haven't faded at all, and I put the same stuff in them

i elected not to get the UV resistant one. IF it starts to fade at some point, I'll probably have a new truck by the time it looks bad.

This is kinda what I’m thinking. 2017 F150, already has some trim on the rail, so it’s completely in bed. That’s why I asked. If people were to come in here and tell me that it fades really bad and looks like shite, then I may have considered the extra cost up front.

So I have a similar question that will not help the OP what so ever, but here it is:

I do not use the bed of my truck very much, other than the occasional ice chest, shovel, small tools, and chain, etc. I was considering getting a Pendaliner, which is one of those drop in plastic liners. It is only like $140 before shipping. Our work trucks all have something similar and seem to hold up well enough. Would it be good enough for someone who doesn't abuse the bed of their truck? My truck already has the black plastic lining the top of the bed and tailgate (2018 Silverado). This would just go on the inside.

I think I got the UV protective for mine. Not too sure as it was 10 yrs ago. The bed still looks decent enough for a decade’s worth of abuse. I’m always throwing crap in it and don’t care. Chainsaws, firewood, lawnmowers, fishing gear, camping, tailgating. I elected to get the top of the rails sprayed and it’s been more than a lifesaver. Crap will slide around a bit if you hit the brakes hard. I find myself tying it down if I need to secure it - I carry straps anyways.

I have a 2013 F-150 and elected to get the regular Line-X bedliner. Like the others said, by the time it fades it will be time to get another truck. I also have a cover on the bed of my truck so the exposure to sun is limited.

That’s all I need to hear. Thanks.

My father in law had it done the week he bought his truck in 2006. It has stayed outside most of the time and the fading in minimal

For your purposes I’d just get a mat. Will protect the floor and stud won’t slide around like the plastic ones.

Also, the plastic ones eat up the paint from virbrations and the dirt and dust that ends up between them and the body.

I went to CSC customs, it was $470 for their "premium" version. Double the thickness and uv protection, and looks really good.
