Looking for pros and cons regarding spray-in bed liners (Line-X vs. Rhino). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

 

Line-x all day long and twice on Saturday. Previous truck had a Rhino liner and wasn't a fan. It always felt soft/malleable. The Line-x I have on my F350 feels like it's part of the truck and just generally looks better

 

Have to ask yourself what do I want the liner for ?
Line X is more durable and fade resistant .
Rhino is more "rubbery" . Which provides more cushioning and keeps things from sliding around.

 

How about Line-x vs the Rhino Hybrid liner? This is supposed to be more comparable to Line-x? It seems most reviews compare the older Rhino liner which is softer/thicker. I just got a quote for both and the Line-x was $66 more

 

I have had this brand in last three trucks with no complaints. Had Line-X before and it did fade but didn't have problems with it as far as durability. Line-X seemed harder and Toff has more grip I think.

Highly recommend ArmorThane spray in here. Had two of them now, different trucks, very good liners. Hold up extremely well to sliding and gouging. My trucks mainly use the bed to haul rather than tow, and I've had A LOT of stuff in them over the years that would destroy an unlined truck bed. Well at least modern truck beds with their paper thin steel or aluminum. Never seemed to have a problem with my square body but I digress....

Previous truck had it for a few years before I sold it; bed liner was black and sat in the sun all day every day, never faded, cracked, peeled, anything.

Known lots of folks with Rhino; usually they are sprayed on very thin and peel after a few years. This is 100% dependent on the shop that does it though, so your mileage may vary.

ArmorThane to me is that perfect balance between hard (to make sliding stuff easy) and soft (so it doesn't move around a lot in transit). They are also typically less expensive (my long bed was < $400 vs ~$500 for Rhino/LineX) but in my opinion that's just because they aren't as big of a name in the truck market as the others.

One note is give it a couple of days to set once it's done.

I had a rhino in a n 04 F350 and a 08 F250 and really liked it. My 17 has a Bullet liner which is a newer improved version of Linex ( guy who started Linex sold it and started Bullet ). The Rhino is softer than the Bullet and Linex but things have a tendency to slide more so than Rhino.

 

Line X for me can't be better than them.I got it on 2011 with no complain .

 

Line X. For me. My 09 F150 has one. It was sprayed in new before we picked up our truck. With 111,000 miles and lots of cargo it still looks good. Cargo has included concrete blocks and 5' concrete parking lot stops.

 

Rhino lining here in my 2003 F350. I will use Rhino again. When I put something in the back of my truck, I do not want it to slide.

My dog kennel stays put, my tools stay put, my supplies stay put. That's what I want.

 

I went factory but the problem is that they leave unprotected areas at the tail gate seam at the floor. Aftermarket can give you better coverage.

 

I went w/ Line-X, and I did it because of their retail network, I could have gone (a lot) cheaper but then where would I obtain warranty enforcement?

Local Ford dealer uses Line X. Like it better than the Ford that was in the 15.
