just got a new 2017 F150, did not come with a bedliner. any thought on a plastic bed liner or spray on liner? I am thinking of using a spray on liner, but just coat the bottoms, not the sides.
Thanks

Recently had my 2013 Limited spray lined and love the way it looks. Personal preference, but I'd never put a plastic liner in my truck.

I like a plastic liner. It's far easier to dent a bed with a spray in. I also like the way things slide on a plastic liner. It makes loading heavy objects easier.

My 1994 truck has had a plastic liner in it since new. Other than a little rubbing on the high spots, my bed still looks close to new.

Mine came with the plastic liner.... pulled it the 2nd day I owned it!
It was loose and sliding around... did quite a bit of paint rubbing in the 168 miles it was back there.
I replaced it with the rubber mat, and am pretty happy so far, the added 100 lbs was nice too. Took a little bounce outa the rear, and helped in the snow.
Thinking long term about getting a spray-in.....but have a Tonopro Tonofold on it so you cant see the bed (probably why I haven't dropped the $$ on it yet)

I went with a color matched spray in liner and love it. The color is not perfect match but is close enough to really look good.

If you aren't going with the spray bed liner, I would suggest not doing the drop in plastic bed liner route. Instead, if you don't want the spray in, I would say look into the Bedrug Impact mat. It has the same textured feel as a spray in liner but just covers the bottom and is a quick and easy install.
Let us know if you have any questions on it, hope that helps!

Buy what you need...

People say drop-in bedliners are not good because they cause the bed to rust (water getting inbetween), but there are no proof of that. Remove the drop-in bedliner of a 15-20 year old truck and check the metal condition. You will see.

You can also find cheap second-hand bedliners on craigslists (50-100$).

I have both, the ford spray in and the plastic drop in. Reason is, that i want something under the drop in to protect the paint from moisture and friction the drop in causes. I like the fact that things slide around on drop in and have a hook that i use to pull things to me without having to climb up which is a bit hard to do on the nonslip spray in. And if a can of paint leaks on me, it's easy cleanup.

duplicate thread?

Mine came with a spray in and I added the rubber ford floor mat. I'm realistically a full plastic shell person myself.
