Get a spray in. The cost should not be an issue b/c if you can't afford a 400 dollar bed liner, than you probably shouldn't buy one of these trucks.
You will not regret the choice to buy the spray in. I have Line-X and I think its great.

What about using it without a cover and how about dirt etc getting in the sides? Is it a pain to pull all that out and clean?

@ gobblin tom- i would never really hadhad it uncovered for more than maybe a week at a time. When i did have iy uncovered it fared well with 110 degree days and rain. Cleanning process for me was either vacuum in place or pull out and wash with a hose and spray nozel. I had it Velcro in but i have also seen them screwed in. All the seems overlap. Only reason why i didnt get one for my new truck is as you see in the picture i have a toolbox and headache rack. Hope i answered all your questions.

I know what you're saying, but the reality is, people that have a lot of money (lots of cash available) tend to have it because they hold on to it.

I have a 12-year-old Line-X spray in liner in my current F250 and it has held up extremely well. I've had a 3500# Lance camper in and out of it for 10 of those years and have hauled countless loads of gravel, dirt, barkdust, pallets of heavy stuff slid over it and it still looks good, no damage. As soon as my '13 gets here it will get Line-X'd on the way home from the dealer. It's a good investment IMHO.

I wouldn't have anything but Line-X. I've used them for every truck I've owned and never had an issue. The drop in liners literally do more harm than good. They scratch the paint in the bed, hold moisture underneith the liner, and then you will have rust problems in your bed.
As far as price, you have some options. For one, Line-X will match the price if you find another spray in that's cheaper..so call around, get quotes, have Line-X match the best price. Second, most Ford dealerships will have a Line-X partner they use to spray their trucks. I had my salesman call Line-X and they gave me Ford's price. I paid $275 (plus tax) for my Line-X. I have a CC short bed.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that stinks. I know the local Line-X here gives a discount for veterans if you ever served. I'd shop around and they will haggle to an extent too...especially if you live near a bigger city with competition. Good luck!

I want to get a bed liner for my new 2012 F350, I have been looking at the spray in liners but I hate the price of them. If I were to go with a traditional drop in bed liner what would you suggest? I am weary about having the drop ins without a cap or toneau cover because of water etc. laying under it. I will eventually have one or the other to keep the bed dry... I even thought about the bed rugs but not sure about them either. Looking for input on anything?? Thanks in advance!
It has held up perfectly for over 2 years with sliding a truck camper in and out,carrying furniture for a living all the time,gravel you name it. My truck gets' worked..
