want a drop in bedliner that DOES allow 'sliding'
 

I've been going through the 'drop-in/spray-in' bedliner routine. But while the spray-in looks nicer, I really DONT want the 'sticky' behavior of the surface. I've grown quite fond of sliding boxes and equipment in the back of my past trucks. A number of the 'bedliners' I've seen today have advertised the 'no-slide' features of their products. I don't want those. Where can I find an economical, yet reliable drop in bedliner for a supercrew 5.5 bed (including tailgate)

i found my oem ford one let thing slide...took it out and did a diy bedliner....to bad its a 6.5....

drop-in bed liners are really not a good idea by most folks opinion. they wear the paint. they hold moisture.

I like a bed mat. they protect the bed floor and easy to remove to clean.

YMMV

While I have never pulled my drop-in liner out to inspect under it, from what I can tell with it in place, there are no detrimental effects to the bed. It has been installed since 2001. If there is wear and moisture under it, it doesn't matter because other, more visible areas are starting to rust.

Someone must think it is a requirement to post such responses everytime there is a thread regarding drop ins.
I have had drop ins, spray ins and BedRugs.
Like the BedRug best for my use. It covers the spray in that is OK but not near as plush as the rug.:thumbsup:
However, my last truck had a drop in for 12 years. No rust or any other issue with it.

I too like the ability to slide things when I want to.

I find it much easier to secure things that need to stay put than to deal with not being able to slide things when I want to.

I am having a Ford liner installed by the dealer when my truck arrives.

Worst thing ever. My brother's F150 has one and the bed floor rotted out because of it.


Ive got an OEM Ford bedliner and can slide anything in and out on it.

I have the oem spray in and everything slides easily on it,so I bought a rubber mat from tractor supply for when I don't want stuff to slide. then if want to slide stuff I just remove the rubber mat.

If you clean often or have a cover it may be okay but I've seen beds rot from years of not cleaning and no cover. Also, they provide no side protection.

The after market spray-ins I've seen are too rough to slide a cardboard box. Are the factory spray-ins different?

Pendaliner. Great drop in liner
