Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 2019 f150 xlt super crew with a 5.5ft bed and I'm looking to get a spray on bed liner. I got quoted $425 + Taxes for Rhino TuffGrip vs $625 + Taxes for Linex Premium for my 5.5ft bed. Is there any reason I should spend 200$ more for the Linex Premium over the Rhino TuffGrip?

Any option for just the regular Linex? I know the Premium supposedly has added UV resistance. I think the Rhino TuffGrip would be comparable to the regular "Standard" Linex.

I paid $500 for standard Linex on my 5.5 bed.

The standard would cost me $495 + tax, but I live in SoCal where its sunny year round. Im looking for the UV protection and from what I was told, both the Rhino Tuff Grip and Linex Premium have UV protection.

I recently had my truck done and went with Bullet Liner and really like it. They claim to be UV resistant as well. Paid $475.00 out the door.

I’ve always been curious if this means it was actually done at the factory?!

Years ago I had Rhino (early 1990's) I had Rhino applied because they were the only player back then besides the hard drop ins.
It was sprayed on thick 1/8 of a inch I guess and was softer and rubbery. Decent stuff and it worked. LineX is 1/2 the thickness and turns hard and resembles sand paper.
Both are good products and have their own strengths and weaknesses on their own regarded.

Had mine done with Bullet also. Supposedly it was invented by the inventor of Line-X and doesn't need any maintenance to keep from chalking... also it was considerably less expensive then the Line-X Premium that is supposedly the same basic thing, like the Bullet was about $200 less in my area.

Yes, it is sprayed in by robots at the factory. Because of this, it is covered under your 3yr/36,000 mi warranty. Anything on the window sticker is factory installed and covered by Ford warranty. Anything a dealer adds and upcharges will appear on an additional "window" sticker and may or may not have warranty coverage included, and not necessarily at the same 3yr/36k.

Here's a comparison youtube of Ford Tough Bed vs LineX.

I have a buddy that owns a truck specialty shop and spray bedliners. He has contract with a local GM/Chevy dealership and sprays all their "add on" bedliners for them. He may spray 30 of their trucks in any given week.

Obviously the Line-X gets a much more detailed install job, with bolts removed and spraying around edges etc. And I like the textured finish. I guess some people would rather have it smoother as the factory job appears to be, but for my purposes, I prefer if stuff doesn't slide around and the rougher finish is good for that. (My Bullet liner is the same way.)
