Spray In Bed Liner
Did anyone get this option? I didn't, because I will take my truck to Rhino Liner and have it done. Have had Rhino Liner on my current truck for 13-14 yrs and wouldn't put any other spray in on my truck. I just see a lot of stuff on the inside of these beds that have to be removed in order to be sprayed.

Had a Line-X put in on our 2016 F-150. The guy removed the box cleats, and taped off the LED corner lights and rubber-coated switch, as well as the usual tie-down hooks. He removed the bed and tailgate access plate bolts, and scuffed and cleaned all the paint, and sprayed the Line-X. Came out great.
The Ford liner, on the other hand, does not remove the cleats. You can see bare metal behind the mount plate. They also spray over the bed bolts. They do not remove paint, only use a chemical adhesive promoter. Unless you are planning on years of daily really hard bed use, the Ford liner is probably fine for most of us.

I ordered the factory Ford liner. Cheaper, and already done. Has the Ford oval spayed into the liner at the front of the bed, which looks nice. Not as good as a Line-X, but good enough.

My dealer took mine over to the local Line-x as an add on when I purchased. Looks awesome. But I wish I had known there was a UV resistant version. I would have probably paid a little extra for that. But for now no fade and it looks great. Removed all hardware so nothing is covered up. Except some spray got through the bed and on my white shock.

I ordered the Ford spray on liner. Plastic liners gets pretty slippery when hydraulic oil, engine oil are accidentally leaked on them. My truck is a woods work truck so pretty well anything could be in the truck bed from time to time.

Rhino is fine. Had it on my 2012 Super Duty. Little thinner than Line-X, but could just be the dealer.

I think any aftermarket liner is mostly at the quality of the franchise who does the installation. The LineX in this area has an excellent reputation and when purchased through the dealer an excellent price. Reviewing the Rhino on youtube there are a couple of very dis-satisfied customers for whom the parent is not sticking up for and referring them back to the franchise where the purchased the service and they being shoddy in the first place continue to disappoint. But then again we all hear about the failures and very little about the successes. And we always only hear the complainant's side. Today I think it is a buyers market. I like the LineX because they remove all screws and attached items and then replace them after spraying. It has to give a very professional look. And even though I am mostly under a tonneau I will pay the extra $50 for the UV protectorant. A little extra for a lot of comfort.

I ordered the OEM sprayed on. On my 2015 F150 I had it Rhino Lined and it started fading and looking chalky at 3 months old. They have been making this stuff for years.... Why not just put the UV blocker in and have happier customers?

I ordered the OEM spray in liner. I've had Rhino liners in my last 2 trucks, which have been great. There's not a Rhino applicator in town anymore. There might be LineX or others, but I just wanted this one to be ready to go when I picked it up.
