I know.. another dreaded bedliner thread. If my question has been explicitly answered elsewhere please let me know and I'll happily remove this thread.

My question is.. Is there a drop-in bedliner option which allows for the boxlink cleat housing to be mounted over the side panel AND has a reduced/low friction bed surface?
The bulk of my truck bed usage will be loading and unloading containers where a high friction surface would be most frustrating. I dislike the idea of debris having easy access to the bed of the truck via cut outs.

Dual Liners allow for the boxlink cleat housing to be mounted over the side panel BUT Dual Liner has a no skid rubber mat for the bed. Additionally the side panels seem to allow for sand/small debris settling between the mat/panels and truck bed

Rugged Liner/Pendaliner both seem to have cut outs which will allow excessive amounts of bark dust/chips, yard debris, etc to get between the liner and the bed. I like the low friction bed surface of both of these options.

BedRug seems to be the closest to what I'm looking for but I'm hoping to find an option with a lower friction bed material.

I'd prefer to avoid a spray-in as frankly the permanency of that option is a turn off.

If you made it this far,, hoping you aren't shaking your head at yet another Bed Liner thread.

 

BedRug is a good start I think regardless of what else you do. I would still likely recommend the Line-X, but just make sure you get something with UV protection and if you want the wheel wells done do them at the same time for cost sake. I have thought about a bedrug myself even with the Line-X because dragging heavy items out scuffs up the Line-X at times.

Good luck!

 

BedRug or BedTred would be your best option. Although keep in mind that you will have to make the notches and cuts to the liner to accommodate the box links and if you have led lighting in the bed.

I prefer the look of the BedTred just because you get that spray on look without the abrasive permanent approach.

 

You can buy OEM box liner cut out plugs which are rubber and snap over the box link areas to prevent crud from getting between the liner and the bed. That's what I have, works great.

 

I'm not impressed with my Rugged bed liner, i'm on my second since November and they don't fit under the bed rail at the back and bow out like a sail in the wind! They promise they'll have me a new one soon that will fit snug, but they've been promising that for 2 months.
