Getting ready for a new truck. I am thinking about getting the 'Tough Bed' option, but I have been told that it is very thin, tends to peel off, and can't be repaired. Wondering if I shouldn't just get it sprayed with Line-X. I have had good luck with Line-X in the past and there is a good Line-X dealer near me. Anyone have any experience with 'Tough Bed'?

 

No, But sounds like you have. Go with what you know. IMO i would find it hard pressed for anything to beat LineX.

 

I would agree go with the Line-X. Had in my last trk and after 10 years is was still like new and I worked it hard in construction.

 

How long has Line-X been around? I didnt know they had even been in the business that long. Thats a pretty good accolade though, 10 yrs in constuction and looks like new...

 

I've looked at several trucks with Tough Bed on the lots and it does appear to be much thinner than Line-X. I think for the money, you're probably better off with Line-X or Rhino. As an aside, the Tough Bed is covered under the truck warranty and when it expires, so does the Tough Bed. Line-X and Rhino warranty theirs for as long as you own the truck.

 

I found this on another site.

So Line-X has been around a long time.

 

X2 I would go with Line-X going to have that done to my truck.

Another vote for Line-X. I've had both Rhino and Line-X on my vehicles, both are good products but I would do the Line-X again in the future.

 

I've had lineX done on my 06 and other than a little fading and some light staining it's finish is like new and iv'e dragged everything from heavy furniture to cinder blocks across it.

 

I will be having mine line-x'd in a month, has anyone heard of armour gard? My buddy has it an looks decent although I haven't taken a close look at it.

 

4 years with Line-X in my 06, carrying rock, engines, etc. Still looks good.

 

So do you suggest spraying it up over the front edge of the bed or just up to the lip so the bed color still shows on top?

 

I went with the factory Tough Bed. If if chips or peels, I'll Line-X it in 3 years when the warranty runs out.

Here is an old article about a comparison between the two.
