I just got a new 2003 Ford Edge Stepside, and I know I need to get a bedliner into it soon! Which is better to go for, a plastic bedliner, or a spray on? if so whats the prices and which lien is better to go with? Any help would be great!

 

Spray on! When I took the plastic liner out of my bed, I was shocked by the amount of paint damage and surface rust I found. It was off to the local Line-X dealer for me. I love my new liner, looks great and durable as hell! Check out their site, and stop by a dealer, you'll be glad you did!

No questions Spray ON is the way to go!!

 

I'm with King...I would not consider anything else...those plastic drop in liners are a thing of the past. For your Edge you can probably pay around 350 or so. Spray it on!!

 

How about a second opinion?

I have the Ford drop in liner. It fits under the rails, and it is held in place by the tie down bolts and the bed extender pivots, so it stays put, and doesn't rattle.

It has the Ford logo imbossed into it on the front, under the cab window and looks cool.

It hasn't scratched or torn in over two years of use, and it looks better than the spray-ins, IMHO.

The spray-in liners are OK , I guess, but they won't prevent the bed from getting dented like the drop ins do.

Also, I removed my liner to inspect under it, and have no wear or rust to date.

Anyhow, just my .02 worth.

That's great different opinions/observations will help us make better decisions.. I'm glad you like your drop-in liner..

 

The drop in liner does not prevent the bed from getting dented, it just hides the dents!

 

Superbru...thats your opinion and well said...but....if you haul rocks, landscape bark, sand, and any other material that may "get behind" and in between your bed and "liner" from those cutouts at your tiedown points, it WILL reek havok (sp) on your paint. Drop in liners are also notoriuos for producing static electricity, and can be extremeley "slick" when wet. Your resale value will be higher with a spray in liner as there may be hidden damage under those plastic drop ins that a dealer or private buyer has to fix. Of course...if I bought a truck that had a drop in liner.....i'd spray it immediately. Just my $.02

 

well im with most of you guys, defenetly go with a spray-on, Line-X is the best you can get it for under 400.00 and it'll take anything you can throw at it... i tested it on my s crew!!! got a couple of lil dents but a whole lot of bragging rights..

 

Do your truck a favor!! Get a spray in job. Line -X is the way to go. Like a Timex"Takes a beating and keeps on ticking!! amacki4353

have you compared how each look in your truck? have you thought about how you will use your truck? I think the drop in, (I have a duraliner), is better for heavier use; like firewood, stone. but the spray in is probably great for light duty stuff; tailgating, picking up the Christmas tree.
I guess there is a price issue too, I think I paid $225 for a duraliner - 6 3/4' bed, and they're making these better than they were years ago, non-slip and all that. and a good one, the covers won't be popping off and allowing stones behind.
consider your options and get what you want
IMHO

 

I did. I have had both and the drop in's suck. Line-X forever. If you can't afford a real truck you buy a wanta be truck. If you can't afford a spray in you buy a drop in.
