I have a 2003 F150 SuperCab and in need of replacing my current liner due to age. I have had a BedRug and liked it very much, but it is worn out and in need of replacement. Problem is that BedRug no longer makes a unit for this year F150. Any thoughts for a bedlner still being made for a 2003 model. I liked the Bedrug because it was padded, things didn't slide around, and looked good.

For those that don't know what a BedRug is. It's a padded carpet look type liner.

I like the sprayed on liners best.

I just got the bed rug that covers the bed and tail gate, not the sides. Seems like you could get one of those and trim to fit?

Don't know if you have a need to cover the sides of your bed, I don't .

I like spray in best, but just a bed mat can be better than nothing.

Something like THIS protects the bottom of the bed and does not look too bad IMO.
Plus is pretty cheap.

There are a bunch of other options on e-bay as well.

Bedrug list one for 99-16 f250. 6 1/2 foot bed. I know the tailgates fit our truck so the liner just might fit..

A BedRug came with my '03,and when I bought it. I rolled my eyes, and thought, "Carpeted bed. Pffffft! What a waste!" and immediately planned to sell it and go with a spray-in bedliner. After a short while, I realized I *love* the fact that it's padded, and my knees say "thank you" every time that I'm crawling around in the bed with/for stuff. I can protect the carpeted surface with a tarp to keep it from getting too cruddy, although the site says it can be power washed, etc., but I don't haul dirt, mulch, rocks or greasy engine parts all the time, so for daily protection from small messes, I just use a mat that was in the back of our old 4Runner. The icing on the cake is times like this weekend when I volunteered to provide comms for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The gates opened at 1:30AM for officials, but my duties didn't start until about 6:00, so after arriving on station, I crashed back there for a few hours in relative comfort.



But I digress....

The choice depends on your uses for the bed. In my opinion, for the best/easiest/most durable/most useful, I'd look at a spray-in liner, then add a rubber bed mat, but if you liked the BedRug as much as I do, I'd probably call them first, and see if the F250 piece mentioned is a fit.

Personally, I prefer the look of the classic black plastic 'drop-in' liner, but my truck sees light duty only and I don't need to worry about padding. I can see why someone using their box on a regular basis would go for something more comfortable.

have used a drop in Ford plastic bed liner since '02 no issues, no cracks.

I had the hard plastic bed liners in two trucks
I'd say they removed the paint on the bed almost as efficiently as a belt sander would have

And stuff still slides around.

There's a reason that spray-in bedliners took over the market basically.

That said I've got absolutely nothing in my 2003. Unless I make a point to look over to bed rails , Which are about chest height, you don't even see into the bed so it doesn't matter.

I like the plastic because I can throw things without chipping or damaging the paint/bed. Yeah stuff slides around but if I care I throw a ratchet strap on it. It was cheap and has held up amazing thru some heavy abuse. No issues underneath.

That being said I think my next truck will either be a bed rug (I've seen some crazy demos where those things can take a beating) or most likely I'll get a spray on and then throw a rubber mat down.
