1 piece DROP IN aftermarket bedliners available yet?

[Old Ranchero]

Looking for a 1 piece drop in bedliner. Don't want the Ford 5 piece drop in or sprayliner. Had good luck with 1 piece on 3 previous Rangers I owned.

Some time ago there were posts about some aftermarket liners supposedly available. Anybody buy 1 or know if any actually being sold yet?

Thanks in advance for any helpful info for my search

My 2 cents. A spray in bed liner is 100 times better than a spray in bed liner. It’s well worth the extra cost!!!

Water gets under the drop in liners, shifts, and is very slippery, so things will slide all around. The ABS material will fade and dry rot over time. A spray in bed liner is extremely durable, has anti-slip coating, and is pretty thick. No fading either, and will last you well beyond you owning the truck.

A spray in bed liner has anti-slip coating.

All true, but doesn't mean one or the other is a better choice. Someone who hauls things like woodchips, mulch, compost, soil, gravel, manure, etc would probably be better suited with a drop-in. And a spray-in liner will go to shit with the slightest brush of a loader bucket, and often even just a shovel.

I was going to get the SIBL from Ford, but I don't want the hassle. My 2003 Chevy S-10 came with a drop-in liner, and it is still in good shape. I did puncture the front corner over the years when I put something with sharp corners up there, but it wasn't very hard to patch. I think I still have a few months for delivery, so hopefully someone will give us experience with one of these.

My 99 ranger had a drop in bedliner. It shifted so much over time that paint was almost gone near the edges the of liner. Never again.

Thank You GTootie! That is EXACTLY the type of HELPFUL information I am looking for Checked it out and would certainly work for my purposes, just need to call them to see how much $ shipping might be...

Interesting.

Ya not sure what he's smoking... A spray in bed liner is definitely not 100 times better than a spray in bed liner, and you should not have to pay more...

OK folks, I wasn't looking for a debate here (again) on Pros/Cons of each type. We've already had that discussion here. I have had only good experiences with Ranger drop ins- including re-using the same liner on 2 different trucks! If installed properly they do NOT "collect" water, debris or anything else underneath and do not mar or rust your paint.

Just FYI here, I very well may only keep this Maverick until the New 6th generation Ranger is released in North America and some reviews come in and I can test drive 1- same due diligence I did with Maverick. If it checks more boxes for me than the compromises I made with Maverick, I will probably trade the Maverick back to my dealer for a 2024 Ranger and want to preseve it in like new condition. I am retired and only drive 3-5k miles per year on our multiple vehicles. A bedliner and all weather floor mats helps me preserve vulnerable areas from heavy use and abuse so I can max trade in value. It's just how I roll...

case in point: we had (very expensive) spray in liner done on our new 2018 F-150 and it discolors after use and after a scrap metal load or 2 starts getting gouged and scraped down to bare metal underneath. Only 1 spray liner biz in our tiny town and not going that route again.

take a look at the Penda link Grandpa Tootie provided- it claims to have non-slip surface now.. I already addressed the other stuff in your post elsewhere. Only in interested in drop in- spray in not an option.
