ive had trucks all 3 ways, nothing, plastic liner drop in, sprayon.
1. nothing is slippery in snow ice and paint is unprotected.
2. dropins are subject to water getting under and rusting whole box plus they are dangerously slippery in cold winter weather.
3. spray ons are excelent traction but can cost alot and if you move any large objects like deep freeze or fridge, it is very hard to move the heavy object because it sits in the softness of the thick spray on liner and must be lifted not slid. this is good and bad.

I will never not have line x in the truck. If you use the truck bed, it's spray-in or nothing.

A LineX dealer 60 miles from me for $22 more plus fuel. The biggest thing for me is everything I've read says prep work is key. The lineX dealer say 2, maybe 3 hours while my local Arma Coating dealer said about 4 hours start to finish. Both say the use a high pressure hot coating system. Hmm, I'm decided on spray in but know I need to decide whether I want to get LineX or Arma coating.

I have the Rhino Liner in my 11 Lariat and I love it. It was the first thing I did to my truck when I got it. Whatever you do try to avoid a drop in. they will cause rust eventually b/c of they rub on the paint and will eventually get to bare metal. The Rhino Liner also keeps everything in place.
