I hope this hasn't been beating to death already? Here's my situation. I don't really use the bed to haul alot of stuff. However I do plan on using it to haul my 4 wheeler around because of hunting season coming up. I thought about getting the bed LineX ($450). But then thought maybe just getting a bed mat($75) would work instead. I currently have tri fold cover on it already.

Line X or nothing.

I run a BedRug. I haul my dirt bike on it all the time and I love it.

I sprayed the bed with a light coat of bed liner myself (local speed shop about 50.00)
then I added a 100.00 ford oem bed liner drop in ...


then I happen to get a sick deal on a oem rubber thick bed mat


so no matter how you cut it .. im protected


I have a back flip cover and recently have been looking in to a slide out bed tray as I find myself loading the bed up .. and not wanting to climb in to unload lol

I had my 2010 XLT Rhino-lined by the dealer when I bought it new. That stuff is as tough as iron. I haul my quad and lumber a lot in it and it still looks new, except for fading slightly. I always had OEM plastic bedliners in all my other trucks, and liked them, I just got a smoking deal on the Rhino Lining and decided to give it a try this time.

That being said, there's benefits to both. The drop-in style adds strength to your wheel arches (like if you drop something heavy on one) so they won't dent as easily. I also liked how stuff slid in and out easier on the plastic one, such as lumber, appliances, my snowmobile, etc. And they clean out easier.

The spray in type is good too, especially if you don't want stuff moving around on you in your bed without being tied down. I can literally put my cooler anywhere in the bed and drive normally and it won't move, at all, not turning, not braking, not accelerating. It works good for small stuff (like a chainsaw) or if you're making short trips and don't want to tie stuff down.

some kind of spray in, rhino or line-x. mine just happened to come with it and SO happy it has it, previous trucks used (fathers) were either bare or drop in and were just crap in comparison. looks better, and holds up fantastic.

I think I'll get linex and put a mat cover over it

Bingo. Same here. Always had a liner but they are rough on my knees and things still slide. Rubber may adds cushion and protection and things don't slide.
