Default Bed Liner question from a new truck owner

I just ordered my first truck, F-150 FX4, eco boost, 61/2 bed. What would be a good liner? I'm planning on a 5th wheel, does that affect what I should get?
Any advice would be great!

kpromero, where did you buy it from for that price. I have been thinking about getting the bed tread also.

Looks like a good price here.

I watched a YouTube installation video on that, they used Velcro to attach it to the sides of the bed. Made me wonder if it would stay in place in the summer heat, as the glue on Velcro turns gummy.

My thoughts exactly. I live here in SE Georgia, and it gets ***** hot and humid down here in the summer.

Pretty sure they use 3m automotive tape. This stuff works in extreme heat/cold/ Semi truck trailers use it to adhere all the panels. We used it on aluminum horse trailers for all the sideing for years w/out issues.

I have had my bedtred installed for 8 months now. I am very happy with the fit and function. I opted for this because this bed gets used. I have the bedrug in my lightning and it is now 11 years old and still looks new but I do not use this as a typical truck! They make great products!

I just ordered one of these off ebay, actually the link that mikegs1952 provided. It's in the mail now. I see they are usually around $360, this one was $235. Is this maybe because there is a new one with the new "zipper" locking system? And the one I got was the old loop system?

Looks great by the way, cannot wait for mine!
