LarryD Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just trying to get some opinions from anyone that has the factory spray in. I have only had one truck with a spray in and it was LineX. I had no issues, just wondering about the factory job. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyd Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 My factory spray in was very nice. It looked perfect. As for longevity, I cannot yet say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickHouse Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I have the factory spray-in on my F150 and have been very impressed with it. Holding up well, quality application, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox3 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 My son in law has the factory spray in liner. Looks like a really nice job. I went with the factory on my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I have Line-X. I’ve heard the factory version is almost the same. I heard a few say they did t spray the inside corners well but I don’t think that’s an issue. The worst part is they have to send it offsite to have it done.

F350Mike Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I had a 2011 F-250 that I had Line-X installed and a 2013 F-350 that had the factory spray in bed liner. Both held up well and I would say are really close in quality. But the LineX had a better overall fit and finish to it. The installer taped over all the tie downs and removed the rubber drain inserts prior to spraying the bed liner. The factory liner was sprayed overtop of all the tie downs and the rubber inserts. Things could be different now with the factory bedliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdm Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The only ones who seem to bash the factory liner are the Line-x reps or line-x sponsored videos ?? Fwiw i have factory spray in liner ordered with my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigs Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 My dealer recommended using the shop that they outsource to instead of using the factory sprayed bedliner. Of course I know they will get some kick back or make some money on it as well, but when he said that their shop takes all the bolts, tie downs, and inserts out to tape and spray around I was sold on it. It was the same price as ordering from Ford, so no difference to my pocket. I looked at an F150 that they had on the lot with the bedliner done by the shop they bring them too and it looked pretty nice. I'm sure the place Ford outsources them to from the factory is just trying to turn them around so fast that they don't have time to take everything out and so they just spray over it all.

heavyd Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer everything sprayed, including the tie downs and drain plugs. It looks more uniform to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmacist Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 My 2014 F150 I bought new that I just traded for my 22 F350 had the factory spray in liner. Now I didn’t abuse it but it got tested and it held up great. Had the factory one put on my new truck as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townado Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I just deleted the spray in liner solely because if/when my truck gets produced, I don’t want the down time offsite before it gets shipped. I’d rather just get the truck here asap and schedule LineX or equivalent on my own time. I honestly don’t care either way as quality is concerned, I think they are both excellent products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Thanks for all the input. I’m going to stay with my original order with the spray in. I know it will add some time, but I’ve been waiting since April when my Duramax was totaled. Truckless is not fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowninja14 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I only went with the factory spray in liner because it comes with the Black Appearance Package. Otherwise for the money I'd have gone with LineX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The factory Spray-In Bedliner option is often a commodity issue preventing scheduling and for scheduled units includes delays for transport and installation at the off-site facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baisey85 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) From what I have seen on the two 2022's I have seen so far, the quality is comparable to the local Line-X. I opted for the factory spray just so I didn't have to deal with scheduling after I received it. Edited August 12, 2021 by Baisey85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNblufffarm Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 My dealer said it would definitely take longer to go with the factory spray-in.....I'll do it local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYY Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mine took two days in the body shop for the spray in liner and retractable bed cover. No big deal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKinTx Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I'm a sucker for the Ford emblem in the bed. Wish they would just give Line X the ability to put into theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even notice they did that until you said something! It does look pretty nice. We decided to go aftermarket (narrowed down to Line-x) in case we ever needed a repair or warranty fix on the liner. We liked the idea of using a local shop to get it done, too. We've never had a spray in liner but we plan to only use our F450 For towing our fifth wheel and love the look. I always worried about how they held up until I did some research... They sound pretty tough! We have an older F250 with a drop in liner that we plan to use for all the other bed abusive stuff. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roll.Tide Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 How does the Ford spray in liner hold up under the hot sun, does it fade over time? I had LineX and unless it was premium the UV rays would take their toll on the liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why someone wants a scratched up nasty looking bed. I never got that. Anyways, they seem to hold up well so far as I can tell. Also, why did you personally go 450 vs 350 for your 5er. We are trying to make the same decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why did you personally go 450 vs 350 for your 5er. We are trying to make the same decision. I decided on F350 as the wife vetoed a dually. I also expressed that we wouldn't then be getting a monster 5th wheel. For other reasons we decided on a smaller 5er. If you're in dually territory, might as well get the F450 for the improved turning radius. What is the expected pin weight of the 5th wheel at trailers GVWR. 20-25% of trailer GVWR will be roughly calculation of pin weight. Pin weight + gear + passenger weight (minus 300 lbs), of your fully loaded truck and trailer, should be below the trucks payload capacity. Dually doesn't come without negatives, but will be more stable and has a substantially higher payload capacity. Roughly, and this depends a lot on the selected truck engine, if you start getting into 38'+ 5th wheels, you probably should be looking at dually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a lot of what road turtle says rings true for us). We were getting a dually no matter what.... It seems like a lot of people cut it very close and are probably even over payload with a heavier pin weight. My husband adamantly believes DRW is the only way to go with a heavier fifth wheel. The cost isn't much different than a 350. Turning radius, bigger brakes, commercial tires are the reasons my husband chose it (OK let's face it, I'll probably drive the thing but I'm a little anxious about learning to tow our fifth wheel ?). We live in NY and according to my agent, there is no issue insuring either under our regular policy so we decided to just go for the gusto (they technically have the same gvwr unless you derate). The 450 jhas some heavier duty parts. We will not be using as a daily driver and plan to garage in winter so it should last forever through any trailer we decide to use in the future. Price them out, and quote your insurance if that's an issue in whatever state you are in.... That might help you decide! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d232799 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I've done Linex on last 2 trucks, both with color match. My last 350 had Bronze Fire color and it held up great. Yes some scratches but look worse in photo than in real life, no fade. My new King Ranch 2022 came in this week, got the nice white package so did Ford Spray on and its done very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Can somebody post a picture of what the factory spray in bedliner tailgate cover looks like, is it plastic or what? They give you a picture of the bed liner but not the tailgate cover and I am just curious, I figure I'd order and pay for it and then ask what it looks like... make sense right?
