New to Trucks and Ford
Hi All,
Today I bought a brand new 2013 F150 Ecoboost SuperCrew 4x4 6'6" Bed. Car has 89 miles on it. I never considered a truck until I moved to rural PA from NYC, having converted my whole house to Stoves as oppose to Baseboards and picking up new hobbies (ATV'ing), I found myself paying for Pellet deliveries, wood or coal hauls.
I'm into car racing (HPDE) and up until now I only owned Japanese cars (Subaru STI, Subaru Forester Turbo, Lancer Evolution) but Turbo cars aren't new to me and since my Evo is without an Engine (blew up on July 13th during race) we found ourselves with only one car, my wives, so I decided to pull the trigger and buy myself a car. Thus far I'm loving it, I still haven't seen what it can do at full throttle as I'm letting it break in a little
I have few questions though, coming from heavily modified STI and now fully built Evo, I know I wont leave this truck stock either, but for now I'd like to protect my investment and get a bed liner? Any that are recommended by fellow F150 owners?

Welcome to the forum bbong. There is a lot of good information on the this site. Everyone on here has their own preference on bed liners and everything else but I have the Dualliner in my truck bed and i really like it, everything stays in place on the rubber mat. Nice truck

Welcome to F-150 world, hope the truck treats you well, and you do the same to the truck.
I have a Tonneau cover so didn't see the need to spray the bed, I do have a bedmat though, to keep things from moving around.

My truck was less than a week old when it went to have Line-X installed. Was --><-- close to having the dealer installed spray in (called and had an appointment) but Line-X was about $50 more and has a lifetime warranty.
I've had drop-ins before and they chafe the paint underneath so it rusts from underneath and you just don't see it.

Nothing againstt or wrong with Line-X, but I have had a BedRug on my last two trucks and will keep it that way for any future trucks I buy. You can haul anything in it, it immediately washes off, doesn't tear up your knees or legs if you have to climb in the truck, and can be taken out and transferred to another truck when and if you trade it in
