Ford Bedliners

[casey k]

I'm looking for a bedliner for my HD 150. The new Fords with Ford liners look really good and fitted. What experience can owners who got their trucks with Ford's liners pass on re durability, drainage, cracking pass on. The Rhino and Linex owners seem to stand by that brands durability etc. I've seen some pretty bad liners,--cracked, seperating from box etc; never thought about it much till now since this is my first truck. When my Dad got his Ford in '78 we threw anything in without thinking about damage etc since it was meant to haul but with the HD I'd like some protection after hauling a snowblower around Xmas week and creating a few surface scratches. Thanks for any input. Any Toronto area installer recommends appreciated.

There are many posts that you can search on those liners. For me this is my experience so far. The Ford liner fits great, drains fine, and looks like day one after 1 year. Tips: Get a paintsaver pad before installation. The liner rubs paint off in contact points very fast. The liner also vibrates and makes noise; the paintsaver cuts that right out. Good Luck !!

I have the Ford Duraliner (drop-in) bed liner and have nothing but great things to say about it. It looks great, it's durable as hell, and you don't have to worry about the overspray that I've seen on trucks that have had spray-in bedliners installed by a sloppy employee. If you are going to buy a drop-in bedliner, the Ford one is the one to get.

Thanks for your response guys--woulda thot this would have been more of an issue with pickup guys--archive search doesn't seem to work that well; Ford not on the radar that I can draw up. Will keep researching and monitoring this area since spring is the install date one way or the other.
