first off I know line-x is the way to go and I had it done in my last truck but I now own two utility trailers. I haul and tow everything in the trailers, the only things that go in the truck is a luggage, groceries and my sons stroller... I also have a hard tonneau cover on it so the bed see's no sunlight.
So my question is are there any good drop in liners for a good price or should i just get a oem liner. I dont see it necessary to spend the money on line-x because a drop in will suit my needs just fine

 

If you have a hard tonneau, look at the Bedrug soft liner. It is very durable, washable and easily removable.

 

Drop in plastic liners will rub the paint off and sweat underneath and cause rust

 

I understand that but I probably won't have the truck within the next 4-5 years so I highly doubt the box will rust out by then

 

In my 97 I have a rubber bed mat and it has protected great i do have some scratches on the sides but nothing to bad, my 2012 screw ecoboost I did linex.

 

I took mine out to install a back rack after my truck was approx a year old and it had already started to rust quite noticeably underneath. If you don't care it's all good tho lol just trying to help

 

take a look at dual liners. they are a hybrid, plastic around the sides, and a rubber mat on the bottom www.dualliner.com fit and finish is great, and from what i can tell on mine it wont destroy your bed paint.

 

This is why I would never by a used truck that has a plastic bedliner lol.

I've had experience with both, plastic and spray in. Trust me, even if you don't use your truck for work or to haul things, spray in is still the way to go.

 

It was the first mod i did to my truck....

And i know i got ripped off, 600 for a 5.5 with no rails....

And it was done by cap-it. Wont go back ever

 

We still have our 06 Duramax with the drop in liner. I sprayed the bed with a lubricant when we first put the liner in 6 years ago. Pulled out the liner to install some wiring. Bed was just like new.
