Bedliners ?

[luberhill]

Buying a used Silverado to use for hunting and hauling junk 

It’s a 2017 and has the 6-1/2ft box

spray in like Rhino at Ziebart are like 600.00

Dualliner 4 pc are like 500.00

Rubber bed mat is like 100.00 plus about 50.00 for the tailgate protector 

Not sure the best option

I have a 2016 Ram with a spray in bed liner. First I have had. All my other trucks had the heavy plastic bed liners in them from Mopar. After having the spray in bed liner in this truck I will never have anything else for a bed liner

I’d go with the rubber mats.

Spray in all the way. Then depending on how you use the truck bed a rubber mat just for the bed.

I’ve never done it because I’m never climbing in the bed on my knees but guys that use caps love to have the rubber mat so they can kneel in the truck bed with some comfort while getting things in and out.

Tonneau cover also if you aren’t going to put a cap on it. Nice to have hunting stuff in the back and not have to worry about it getting wet or snowed on

Spray in all the way!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Spray in. More specifically LineX

[Nytracker]

Spray in  all the way . I love the ford factory spray in . Stuff is really tuff. Rhino liner is good also . Never will go back to a plastic drop in bedliner again

Rubber mat......dealer could care less what the bed looks like when you trade it in. Cover it all with a tonneau and your set.

I've had rhino, linex, and bullet liners.  LineX and rhino are about equal IMO. Bullet liner sucks. Mine pealed off easily on my 2019 Ford. Absolutely junk.  My new Chevy has a factory spray in liner. Only had it for a couple weeks, so can't comment on how it holds up just yet.

So not true.  A clean damage free bed will get you more money on trade then a scraped/scratched up bed.

Check out Dual Liner

[sbuff]

I'm obviously in the minority but I prefer a bedliner all day . Why because when you throw cinder blocks and heavy wood on a wheel well with a spray in liner  it will dent it and be visible.  You do that with a bedliner it may or will dent it but won't be visible unless you remove the bedliner .

If you plan on sliding anything across it ,say loading and unloading go with a drop in . I couldnt imagine having a spray or rubber mat .

[Five Seasons]

i love the plastic liners that my last 2 silverado all-star editions come with. Easy to slide stuff in and out, the only downside is that stuff slides lol

LineX. Not quite as rough of a finish as the Rhino. Had a new 2000 Silverado sprayed and it was the best money I ever spent. When I finally sold it in 2017 the liner was the only thing holding the bed together!

This is true and bed liner versus spray in versus rubber mat choice really depends on your ultimate use.  Things slide much easier on a plastic bedliner which can be either good or bad.  I would also add that factory bed liners fit way better than the aftermarket bedliners.

Guaranteed you got less of a trade in because of it.  Dealer might not have acted like it didn't matter, but it definitely mattered on what he offered you.

I just traded in my 2019 f350.  They practically climbed up the tailpipe looking for anything. Bed was pristine, except the POS bullet liner had several tears and peeling. They tried to take $500 off the trade, but my truck was so desirable, I held firm.

Agreed. I got $1500 less than I PD for my F350. Had it for 2.5 years and 37,000 miles.  It's crazy what they are giving for used trucks.  It's listed on there website for $4k more than the sticker. 

[Bolt action]

I picked up a used F150 in the spring and had a Pendaliner drop in bedliner thrown in. I think I paid about $250 for it installed and it's served it's purpose so far. At that price, even if it were to crack or break I wouldn't be too upset about replacing it. With that said though, it's held up great so far. It still looks new despite the lumber, cinder blocks, bloody deer, and other misc stuff I've had back there.
