Hey TruckGasm, how much does a supercrew 5.5' bed cost to have regular black linex sprayed? Also, how much more would it cost for xtra, and maybe a lincoln logo in silver at the bulkhead? Thanks in advance.

 

I can tell ya my experience getting the Line X-Xtra plus colormatch done on my 5.5' bed..

The Line X itself was about $440, the Xtra plus colormatch was another $150, so after taxes it came to about $620.. The color matched up perfectly, it's as tough as nails.. And it's been a very weird summer here, a lot cooler than normal, but it hasn't faded a bit (had it done in March)..

My understanding is that some dealers can apply logos, no charge usually, but I reckon they need to have the template on hand. Plus doing it in a different color will probably cost a bit more.

I can guarantee that you'll love it..

 

Thanks Tex. Linex of Brevard in melbourne fl wants 499+tax for the regular black. They dont do xtra there, and he was saying that it would be about $300 extra for it if i went to orlando to get it done. As of right now, he can only do logos in the same color, but i have seen Truckgasm's pics and he does some good looking different color logos.

 

As with everything else, it all depends on where you're at and where you go. I'm out here on the Barbary Coast town of Baghdad by the Bay. Believe it or not, nobody has the "franchise" for Line-X in The City. I have three local dealers. They gave me three different prices......for the same truck!! The difference between the three quotes was almost a hundred dollars.....for the same truck!!

I recently had my Line-X applied and was allowed to watch the entire process. I am impressed. I love my Line-X. But I'm not in any sort of building trade, nor do I do any hauling. I'll never be able to say with any level of certainty just how good or bad it really is.

But according to National Research Council Canada,

"While lowering or removing the tailgate on trucks with an eight-foot long box may decrease the drag by a small margin (less than one percent), lowering it on a six-foot cab – like those typical of crew-cab trucks – increased the drag by five percent. Using a mesh tailgate cover raised it another five percent or more."

I'm reading that with an eight foot bed, which I happen to have, lowering or removing the tailgate decreases drag. I have an eight foot bed. I drive with the tailgate off. Why? Because the rear of the truck is so high that I never see anything but my tailgate when I look over my shoulder. It's great to see a little more of the road and who or what is on it. But living in The City, I like to be able to see all the little Hondas when I'm parking. I have actually parked in spaces where some lowered import ended up with my bumper sitting over his hood.

 

Dealers are free to set their own prices, so prices will vary. Chances are the east and west coasts will be higher like everything else.
