Tonneau Covers and Bed liners?

Well the old lease is up in Dec. and I ordered a new F150 tonight that I will be buying.
What is everybody using for Tonneau Covers and Bed Liners?
What's the best tonneau cover without breaking the bank.
Anybody use a bed mat and a tail gate cover in stead of a liner?

Bedliner: LINE-X (with LINE-X Xtra)

I used a spray-in bed liner with a rubber mat on top of that.

The rubber mat is to cushion items and keep them from sliding around as much.

My tailgate had the factory cover which looks good to me.

I have been investigating all the tonneau covers out there and I still haven't made up my mind. I had an inexpensive roll up on my old Dakota and it worked well until the velcro started giving me problems. Of course, that might have been because it was a cheap cover. I am leaning towards a roll up because I need to be able to load tall items. I am considering an Extang Express or an Access Literider...Any suggestions or reviews would be helpful.

I did decide on a Bedrug as my knees are old and can't take the ribs of the truck bed anymore! LOL....

I have Line-X & Bakflip. If I had to do over, I would not purchase either one of these. Very frustrating experiences.

I know i don't want a hard cover. There are so many choices, what about the ones Ford sells, who makes them for them?
The reason I ask is I won a $100.00 gift certificate for service or parts from my Ford dealer. The catch is I have to use it by the end of the year and getting rid of my lease and getting a new truck I won't need it for service.

i just bought a new f-150 myself. it came with a bed liner already installed. but i had a rubber bed mat in my last truck and loved it. so i ordered a ford f-150 bed mat mat for mine and it is awsome. i ordered it from a company on ebay called innovate or something like that. it was 95.00+shipping. it is very heavy and thick. it is the way to go, and it comes fitted for your particular bed. i highly recamend it.

Thanks! I've been looking at that one. It's a little more expensive but it appears to be a higher quality tonneau.

I just installed a Truxedo Lo Pro and I am very happy with it. It was easy to install, Looks really good, and is easy to open. I paid 461 with autoanything and it has a lifetime warranty. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have a factory/dealer installed bed liner in my truck. I'm not crazy about it, but now with my bed cover I don't mind it as much. I just but in a bed rug on top of the liner and now I'm happy. Before the rug, I had to straps running back and forth to keep things from sliding all over the place. That's no longer a problem. If anything, the bed mat is almost too sticky, but that's why I bought it. Nothing I have back there moves but if I want to move things around it's not as easy. I got the bed rug from FastAutoUSA.com and paid $73.44 delivered. It is called a Heavy Weight Rubber Bed Mat and is custom cut for your truck. I ordered it on Nov. 4th and it arrived Nov.6th. It is very heavy (about 35#), and I have a Flairside. A standard bed cut of the same length would of course weigh more. I would highly recommend this product.
