Difference in the bed liners?

[brkr12002]

i ordered an XLT hybrid without any type of bed liner. I was looking at the Ford Accessories site and noticed the plastic bed liners are no longer on there anymore. My question is, does anyone know the difference between the $180 bed tray liner and the $375 hard drop in liner when on the ford site and building a maverick. I emailed the salesman, but pretty sure he doesn't know the difference from the reply I got. I'm thinking about adding one of these to my order. Also curious if it's no longer on the ford accessories site due to shortages

Get an aftermarket spray in liner when you get the truck. Drop in liners will allow moisture to sit under it and cause the bed to rust overtime.

Line-X is one of the best and has a lifetime warranty

Along with what Flyjum said! I'm going with LineX when I get mine. They had to take the spray-in liner off my XLT Lux due to supply shortage of the chemicals to produce that. They said I could just opt for the drop-in, but then they discounted me the full cost of the liner so I will hopefully receive nothing and be able to do aftermarket. Especially since Ford only warranties the liner for the life of the vehicle 3 year 36k mile warranty versus LineX doing the lifetime warranty.

Some people have said that the plastic liner is much better than what they used to be, but without seeing the truck in person with one yet, I can't attest to that currently. I know my old trucks with plastic liners weren't great so I figured if I own a vehicle for a long time, it's worth the extra money for me to get a spray-in.

My dad's had his sprayed in for four years now and absolutely loves it and it still looks brand new and all shiny even though he didn't get the UV protected package on it.

A bed liner could be a very thin Phelps/cheap plastic like material. Wile the hard drop in would be much tougher and thicker and better designed. Regardless, I strongly recommend a spray in bed liner from the after market like discussed. I would sooner buy nothing than one of these products.

liner $180 zoom in for details

Hard drop in

Ford accessories didn’t have either options available

That's a good price. My Rhino place quoted me 600.

I had a plastic drop in liner for seven years with no issues. I prefer them as materials and furniture slide in and out easily without damaging or scratching goods. I did not have the moisture issues others have described. I will be getting a dibl as soon as they are available.

I can only guess the price difference is probably the thickness/quality of the plastic between the liner and hard drop in

Just got the Rhino done today. With tax 494. I'm gonna let it cure a few days before I put my soft cover on.

I want to do the Spray in bedliner from LineX actually considering a white tint to match my truck but may always look dirty that way. What I really want to know is how Ford is able to have a stamped Ford logo with their spray in bed liner. Are the beds different when ordered this way?
