Considering a bedliner?

[oilboy123]

I got a quote for my 2012 F150 a few months back. Line X said $695 standard, $795 premo, $900 Max. They have stellar reviews. But I take them with a grain of salt. They can be rigged is my fear. I worked at a Ford dealership in 2001 and spray in liners were IIRC about $250 range

I'm not super far from the Canadian border. I might call a dealer for Rhino in Surrey Canada, also a USA Rhino dealer a ways north of me. I think the Rhino, or Line X will both be OK.

Edit: I did a old Dodge Extended van 3/4 ton van floor with Herculiner decades back. I was thinking of doing my truck. But I was a lot younger back then.

I am adverse to doing things around the house or car that I cannot take apart and redo a little better or a better way. So I will do electrical but not ceramic tile.

I did buy some cheap bedliner in a QT and painted the bed of a cart for my lawn tractor. The used cart cost $25 maybe. The QT of bedliner was probably as much as the cart. It was like thick rough texture paint. But no where near the thickness of the spray bedliner on my pickup.

I remember like 31 years ago when one of my best friends had Rhino Liner sprayed into his Ford Ranger and that looked pretty good to me and probably the first time I saw a spray in liner. Your Patriot lining looks good as well. My Western Star flatbed truck actually has something similar sprayed on the metal around the edges to stop slipping off the truck in the winter.

My guess is the product and equipment have improved over the years. I had a Ford Ranger 20 or 30 years ago and bought a plastic drop-in liner. Not sure I knew they had spray bedliners.

It was a better deal twenty years ago for $200.

That was a bargain for you. It cost me $400 to Line-X my 1997 Chevy W/T K1500 short bed 25yrs ago. I called around to have the my 2022 Nissan Frontier short bed sprayed 2-3yrs ago. $500-600.

I've tried about everything over the years. Drop ins, line-x, custom fit bed rugs and bed mats and generic bed mats. My favorite was a Weather tech bed mat I had in one of my rams. Perfect snug fit, easily removable and it absorbed impacts.

My buddy did his ranger maybe 1994-1995. Looks like the one he used came out in 1988...

My bed in the Ram is getting wavy from hauling things over the years but at least it isn't rusted through. Dodge went a little thin on the square tubing under the bed plus it hold water and mud and is giving out on me.

It's too bad that no company makes replacement beds for pickups that are similar to the bed from the factory. They sell replacement flatbeds, dump beds and work truck beds. But not normal beds.

You have chosen, wisely.

There is going to come a point where all vehicles will have no software updates and be bricked just like old cell phones. The future generations will be forced to buy new and stop repairing old vehicles.
