I have seen that video. My real world experience has proven the factory spray-in liner is up to the task. Over the last three years, I have hauled gravel, fire wood, demolition waste, several appliances, bikes, luggage, range gear, propane tanks (bbq & RV), winter tires/rims, summer tires/rims, job site tools, furniture, generators, misc car parts, and dogs. It still looks great.
I’m not saying the aftermarket ones are not good. They may be better. They certainly start at the same price and go up from there. I’m saying, the Ford option is just fine for most, including those who “use their truck like a truck”.
You would be amazed how easy it is to remove many parts of your truck using the same basic tools and brute force shown in that video.

Let us not forget that is a "sales" video.... after 3 years the factory liner in my truck has done well. Is it possible an aftermarket is better? Of course. Is it possible you'll pay more? Of course.
Keep searching the videos. There are plenty showing how bad some of the aftermarket installs were totally jacked. Horror story's abound. This forum has seen plenty of it's own.
