Tampa, not trying to be a smart **** but I don't know how you use your truck so I'll ask if you have ruled out BedRug? Seems that there are a lot of people that like them depending on use. I.E. Pets that ride in the back, etc. It is not a good solution for me because I haul a lawn tractor, golf cart, mulch, sand, etc.. in the bed, but........

The Line-X has a second step additive that prevents fading. I had it done on my truck and though the liner is only 4 months old, it survived one hot summer and looks brand new. If you get the additive, the Line-X includes a lifetime warranty against fading.

From your pick, it looks like you have the standard bed. I have heard the carts will fit with all tires in the bed, you just can not shut the gate. How is it working out for you?
What are you using for ramps to load the cart? Then what do you do to secure it?
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am curious. I am also interested in the thread topic as well. We will need some sort of cover when we make the move to a P/U Truck.

I have always been a diehard Line-X guy. Every truck I have had it has been the first thing I have added and it has been great. With that said, one of my best friends has always used Bedrugs and swore by them. I looked around online and found that when I entered the bedrug model number for my truck with the "man step" I could get it from Summit Racing for like $317 (give or take a few dollars). You have to search by the model number off of the site for the 2011 W/step. So I ordered it. It's been in for about a week or so underneath my Fold-a-Cover. I cannot speak for durability yet etc but it sure feels good kneeling on it.

I have the factory liner so am interested to see how it holds up. I have had both arma coatings and line x in the past and both worked great. They did fade over time and they can scuff. I plan on adding a bed mat on top of mine to protect both the liner and the fifthwheel prep "pucks".
Sidenote, I did have a customer with an arma coating that used his truck all day long for hauling thousands of pounds of tile and pallets. At about 100,000 miles on the truck (and liner) it started to crack and peel a bit (and grow thin) so arma coatings sprayed a complete new liner no questions asked. Now that's customer service!

These look pretty good to me. Looks to give the best of traditional bed-liner and bed rug in one. Looks a lot easier to install than the bed rug when comparing the two videos.

I hear ya, but the cover shouldn't leak. You may want to consider adjusting it. I would be concerned that the BedRug would retain H2O (when covered) due to a lack of air flow. My first Tri-Fold (2005 F-150) was a Rugged Cover and it was awesome, the one that I have on my '11SD is a "Tonneau Pro" cover and is not of the same quality, but it doesn't leak.

VAJeff, the Bedrug took about an hour tops to install. It was easy as can be.
Adobe, I may mess with the cover a bit more. The Bedrug will not mildew or anything but I understand the "standing water" science of it and I don't want it.
