1. Bedliner. I'll likely go spray-on for this. Dad has a Rhino in his 99 F-250LD and it hold up to almost anything. I *heard* though I am not 100% sure, that Rhino can match your paint color with the liner. Any other spray-on that's higher recommended than Rhino?
2. Tonneau cover. Fiberglass or Fabric? Which brand?
Man...i dont know...I had a "so Called" color match Rhino liner on my old rig and it faded. In the end I wasn't happy with it. I have Reflex on mine, I got a great deal through Ford as my brother works for them...if he hadn't I woulda gone Line X. Much harder, and looks better IMO. As for Rolltop covers......Retrax....Retrax...Retrax.....Check'm out at Rolltocover.com. It would look sweet on your new truck. Check out the gallery for a couple pics. Do the research, have a budget plus a couple hundred, you get what u pay for these days IMO. Good luck to ya. Feel free to ask some ?'s if you have'm.

Hmmm .. then again Dad's does have red stains in the bottom of it (it's black) - he said he thinks it from when he carried some steel bars in the bed and he left them in there and it rained - and the resulting rust stained the liner. Never heard of Reflex. I've seen Line-X from their sponsoring a truck in the Craftsman truck series.

I would skip the color-match, because you can't stop it from fading, and go with Line-X. As far as the tonneau goes, I have one of these http://www.versacover.com/ , and will definitely get one for my next truck.
If you go with a LINE-X color match, make sure the dealer will use Dupont's Nason paint. Nason paint is an automotive paint and it will not fade. Also, the color will look like the truck's metallic paint, which you cannot achieve with just pigmented liners of any brand.
Christmas wish list? I'm not that patient. Got my truck 10/08 and ordered a Diablo chip last night. Once I decide what types of tool storage I want for it, I'll buy it right then and there. I admire your ability to wait for 2 months for something that you want.
