It's quite a bit thinner than Line-X, and typically doesn't adhere as well since they don't scuff up/sand the bed like Line-X installers do. I think the Ford version is slicker too. With that said, for 95% of owners, Ford's version is probably sufficient. I don't remember what mine has...whatever the dealer installs. I'm not too hard on it, so it didn't matter too much to me.

I have a giant dip in my back yard I need to fill once I finally do get a truck, as well as a few other things like getting rid of about a ton of river rock I pulled out of what is now a lily garden.

akirby Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Line-X is a bit thicker and it comes with a warranty. The guy that did mine said as long as it wasn’t in an accident he would respray any spots that went down to bare metal. I’ve also heard the factory doesn’t spray the corners very well.

I know corrosion isn't as much of a concern with the aluminum bed but it's still a personal preference to me. I obviously didn't have a lot of choice in this case but I'll wait to see how badly I hate stuff sliding around back there before I do anything different. I have had both types (drop-in and spray-in) in the past and definitely agree that Line-X is the best. Had that in my '02 Ranger FX4. An easy and cheap fix for the sliding around crap is a rubber mat on top of the drop-in liner. That's what I did on the Sport Trac since it came with a composite bed and the inside was basically a plastic liner. One advantage to the drop-in liner is that I will be less likely to put a hole in the aluminum floor when I drop my plastic tool box from ten feet above. ?

I just went back and ran the exact numbers. The dealer discount was $4684 + $7750 in rebates = $12434 + $1120 in Citibank Driver's Edge rebates (originally Ford Citibank Card) = $13,554 in total discounts. Oh, and there was also a $200 discount on the bedliner which was not included on the window sticker plus the free lifetime/unlimited mileage power train warranty.

blksn8k2 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 It was nice day today so I cleaned out garage so I could re-position the truck and be able to open the back door of the garage without hitting the truck. Couldn't resist taking a few more photos. I'm really starting to like the way this thing looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely true. They said all I need are receipts showing that oil changes and other scheduled maintenance are done on schedule. It didn't cost me an extra penny so even if I did manage to lose it it's not like I spent a bunch of money just to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Added Husky brand rear wheel well liners and some off-brand splash guards. Looking at tonneau covers next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
