I bought a plastic OEM tailgate protector from Ebay for $60 shipped.

One comment, this does not "wrap" the edge. But does mate very nicely with the factory edge guard.

I've got what looks like a factory sprayed in liner in mine and its pretty soft compared to the drop in in my old truck. The spray in I have now looks like it would easily get chewed up by some carbides from a sled. The drop in isn't all that hard, but those ribs help support the sleds via the underneath of the skis and not the carbide.

sorry to hear that. it sounds like the opposite of line-x all around. it's not soft and it's tough as hell. i was really surprised at the thickness of the product as well. it also comes with a lifetime warranty in case your sleds would do any damage, but i doubt they would.

A friend of mine has a 2016 with factory spray on coating.

It doesn't look at thick/hardy/tough as LineX.

Went with spray-in by Line-X harder material than factory or Rhino and it is backed by a lifetime warranty. Same cost as dealer/factory.
