I just purchased a new 2010 F150 Super Crew and want to get a spray bed liner. I have priced some local shops and the Reflex brand bed liner seems to be about $70-$100 less than Rhino.

Is Reflex is a good product? If Rhino is that much better, I rather pay the difference...what is everyone's recommendations?

Thanks!

 

I've never had any experience with Reflex products, but have had bad experiences with both Rhino and Line-X. I live in a cold climate (Montana). I've had Rhino, and my Daughter has Line-x...both have either cracked or had chunks broken out during very cold weather. The Rhino lining in my 77 F150 had a chunk the size of a basketball break out of when I threw a chunk of wood into the bed at -20F. The outfit that applied it "fixed" it the first time, but it broke again in another area....that time they offered to either fix it or refund my money. I took the money and went elsewhere.
My Daughter's rig with the Line-X has several small cracks on the inside of the tailgate....we can only assume from the shock of open/closing it during really cold temps.

The product that I now use is called "Bullhide" also known as "Quarro" coatings. It's guaranteed from -60F to +240F. I think the best thing to do is check with whatever company you choose, get the upper and lower temp range of the product, and closely check the warranty before you buy.

 

I work in a similar line of work and it also depends on the installer/equipment they use...if they don't apply it at the right ratio mix or temperature than it can affect the lifespan/quality of it greatly...some of the manufacture's require a certification process to spray but 9/10 guys that buy into it get certified then have others to do the actual work and just tell them to "do it like this" and never really teach them the correct way to apply it.

 

I had reflex liner sprayed in my truck. Its ok but after awhile when it gets wet its slick.

 

Where did you get your Reflex liner sprayed? The unique chemistry of the product makes it grippy, keeping your cargo in place. It should not get slick or slippery when wet if it is applied properly.

 

Oh, hi reflex guy to the rescue.I hear your product is inferior all over the internet...

To the OP, you have a nice truck, what's a 100 bucks to have a pro Line x job done? really...think about it.

 

Yeah...you just bought a $38000 truck...whats a hundred bucks. Thats a tank of gas for me...lol

 

I have a REFLEX liner in my 2010 SCREW....very happy with it. I have had no problems with it being slick when wet. I priced them all and the REFLEX was a little bit less expensive, but I also questioned the installers as to how many they had done and what their experience was with them. Settled on REFEX and have not looked back. I put a kayak in the back with fishing equipment every week, haul it anywhere from an hour to three hours to where I am going to fish. Pull it out, slide it back in and all seems well....
