any one of the spray in liners would be just fine, as far as cost it really depends on what is close to you in your area, dosent pay to drive 100 miles for rhino if a linex is just down the road from your house. I think the best idea for u to do is to just shop arround a bit

My Dad has had his last two trucks Line-X'ed and has never had any problems at all, despite heavy use. My truck has some other unkinown brand of spray in liner (looks like Rhino to me) that was done by the original owner and it looks second-rate and I already chipped it hauling my son's bicycle. As for the do-it-yourself roll on liners, I wouldn't waste the time or money. I've also had a couple trucks with drop-in plastic liners and they do a great job of protecting the bed from dents and are a breeze to clean, but move around during normal use, grinding the paint off and allowing rust and they are slicker than snot if you have to walk on them or load a dirt bike in them in the rain. Don't ask how I found that out...

Line-X is a really good bed protector, but can be costly.

If you're looking for durable and cheap you should check out the do-it-yourself bed liners. They come in a gallon can with a roller. A couple coats of that will be just as good. They're about $80, depending where you go.

spray on bead liner is the way to go. if you are going to pay to get it done rhino liner is awsome. they also make it in alot of colors. if you plan on doin it yourself, hurculiner is the way to go its awsome

because ist basically plastic i use a soft brisle brush and soap and water when i wash the truck. i have had this one in for about 1.5 years and still looks good. the last one i had for about 4 years and it had a couple of small stains from off road diesel but nothing major. i would buy another one..there was a guy on ebay that had them cheaper than the new ones. they were factory seconds that maybe someone had bought and the zipper had to be replaced or whatever. still come with the same warranty and are essentially brand new. just search bedrug on ebay...

It's marine grade material so water won't hurt it, and mildew wont' start either. It is resistant to oil, gas and battery acid. Cleaning is easy, hose out- with grease/oil I use soap & water and hose out. Mfg gives a lifetime warranty IIRR.
