Is there something like a bed mat for the sides/rear? Have spray-in from the factory and usually use it for 5W towing and equipment moving, but may also want to grab a load of gravel/etc sometimes. Not sure if the spray-in would be protective enough.

 

Bed rug makes a carpeted bed liner that covers the sides and tailgate.

I had the mat, just the bed floor mat not the sides, in my last truck and I will buy it again.

Past trucks have always used Rhino Liner as we have a local dealer that supports the local racing people. The one in the 2004 has held up excellent, only damage to it was where I drug a heavy transmission across it like a dummy. Recent trucks have just used a bed mat and that's been plenty. The new F-350 will either get a mat or maybe a bed rug. I'll decide when I finally get the truck.

 

I'm partial to Line-X. They have a better dealer network around here, and I think their product holds up just a little better than Rhino for rough tasks. But you really can't go wrong with either....LIke Skier75 said, it comes down to the installer who can make-or-break the install and your relationship with the product. Both will hold up just fine for all you grocery-getters

I also use a bed mat on top of mine. Soft on the knees, keeps items from sliding, greater impact protection, and sound deadening. Then, you can toss the mat out for when you need to haul gravel, dirt, mulch, etc...

 

Same reasons here. It comes in real handy when you are moving things that you don’t want scratches on.

This thread proves there are many ways to accomplish the goals of protecting our trucks and our cargo. Some of us (me) go overboard, some are much more minimalist. I gave serious thought to the Weathertech liner over a spray-in as well, but wasn't sure it would stay in at speed. If I end up with a slide-in camper, a rubber bed mat will be a must. Fun Fact: Ford included a piece of paper in my wife's glove box the clearly states my truck should not carry a camper.

 

My 16 had Bullet liner in it. Bullet liner seems to be a little better than other spray on liners.

My current truck has Fords liner, it’s ok but not as nice as Bullet.

Im not very fussy about the looks of the inside of the box, it’s a truck, it’s meant to haul stuff.
