Default Drop in liner, which?

Isd liner the exact same one as the pendaliner and duraliner? I saw that in one post, then I saw that the rugged liner was the same thing in another post.

I can get a pendaliner for 199 locally. Ford OEM 299 locally and 260 with a 2 HR round trip drive...meh
Was debating rhino hybrid for 550, but honestly I'm afraid of install quality. Looking at the local places and trucks day to day at them.

Penda is a good brand name. I've had them before and would personally save the $100 and buy one.
My truck has a Ford branded liner because the "gave" it to me.

You're not the first person that said that. Maybe I should drive the 45 minutes to check the Line-X shop.

Ive got a pendaliner and it works great. Ive dropped in many tons of rocks into the back and it holds up great.

Voter here for Duraliner. Had a spray in liner in my old 03 truck and like this one better.

I just checked the reviews on Google, went with the shop that had best reviews. Called, said they could do a deal if we're working with cash, price was $525 OTD.

They had the truck for the full day but did a great job. Only thing I needed to do was shave down the stop bumpers a bit so the gate wouldn't need to be slammed as hard.

Anyone in the salt to use States?

​​​​Curious if salt gets between the liner and the bed and starts corroding the aluminum. Seen some nasty aluminum corrosion with salt water before. That's my one holdback on a drop-in. Other than that I'm not sure if spray-on gains you anything with an aluminum truck. Gotta tie down or put a 2x6 across in either for stuff not to move really.

I lived in MI for the first few years I had the truck with Ford drop-in liner and never had problems. Occasionally I would just lift up the end of the liner and spray under it with the hose because sand would get between the bed and liner from driving my ATV up into the bed. No big deal though, just some light scratches under the liner from the sand and I doubt much road salt got up there anyway.

The drop in liner has nice notches in it close to the front and rear of the bed that you can cut a piece of lumber to fit in very nicely.

I like the added protection of the drop in liner vs a spray in and it is sometimes advantageous for loading and unloading that things can slide on the liner, such as my kayaks. Just gotta strap em down when they're in, but no big deal and I would do that regardless.

You should be able to find a pull out on Craigslist or Marketplace for a cheap price.
