Hello CT FTE'ers
So, I'm leaning towards getting a Ford drop-in bedliner (instead of a spray in bedliner......) for my 2018 F-250 XLT SRW SuperCab w/ 6.75' bed.
I have checked around via phone at a few different dealerships on the cost of the drop-in liner with tailgate liner @ $325 (Ford OEM part# HC3Z-9900038-AA), but, would really like it installed (I know it's only about a fifteen minute job) instead of strapping the box in the bed and driving home with it to have a buddy help me install it. I get conflicting amounts the dealerships are going to charge for the install.
Can anyone recommend where to go to get this installed in CT (I'm located in the Trumbull/Monroe area) once I purchase the drop-in bedliner from them?
Thanks for the help on this.

I actually bought my wheel well liners from Tasca recently, they were the closest dealership who had them when I called around on a Saturday morning.
I am picking up the ford oem drop-in bedliner by the end of this week from a local to me ford dealership and carting it home and installing it with my girlfriend.

Hi Eddieo, Not to derail subject, but why are you choosing to go with plastic liner instead of spray on? I just purchased a '06 rust free SD from NC that came with plastic and I'm considering switching to spray in. The only reason is for rust prevention measures. I am concerned about winter road chemical laden moisture getting trapped between liner and bed.
Also, I'm in Htfd area. Cheers, Noel.

I'd be curious on why the drop in and not the spray bed liner myself. When I bought my 2014 this past January they put a drop in and I plan to remove it to put a spray in bed liner in or put the plastic over the spray in liner. I saw first hand when my brother-in-law removed his drop in from his Ranger after being in the truck since brand new that the only thing holding anything into the back of his bed was the plastic bed liner. There was almost no floor left under it. The vibrating and rubbing back and forth in the bed of the truck removed all the paint and completely destroyed the bed of his truck.

I had tossed around the spray in liners and the plastic Ford OEM drop-in. I previously had a Ford OEM drop-in bedliner in an F-150 and what I liked about it was its one piece and water and debris are easily brushed out/washed out, items I put in the bed can be moved easier being it a plastic liner and there are numerous tie down points already inside the bed to secure the load. Also, I feel the plastic liner helps absorb some of the impact of items in the bed. I am planning on getting a tonneau cover for it before the snow season. I have read many pros and cons of both styles of liners, so my decision was more so based on previous experience, and doesn't mean I can't change it out for something else down the line.
