First Truck, do I need a spray in liner?

[mikelowrey]

Get the spray in from the dealer. Got mine done. Looks really good.

How much did the dealer charge?

Has anyone gotten a quote from Line-x for either Premium or Xtra on the 2022 Ford Maverick yet?

Think it was 800$ cdn... I had it tied into the final bill for the truck...

Spray in liner, in my opinion, completes the look of the truck! I've never own a truck and I've always thought trucks are sold with the liner. Even the lowest trim looks rugged with just adding the liner.

You can remove the spray-in liner from the build order, and then have the dealer get it done after it arrives and fold the cost into the purchase price. That is what I am doing.

I’m in Florida and I originally had the spray in bed liner on my order but the dealership ended up talking me out of it saying it would take longer for the build. But I also feel I’m gonna have to wait anyways so I feel I should have just left it on the order. Has anyone added it after?

I plan on adding it afterwards. Dealer told me they should be able to do it. If not, or if they want to charge too much I'll just go aftermarket.

Liner or bed mat.

Same here. The factory liner is supposedly about a month worth of bottleneck, so doing this could get your truck to you a little sooner, if that matters to you. In my case, also saved me $100 for Line-x by the dealer vs OEM.

Yes, you need a spray in liner. If you use the bed any harder than you use a car's trunk, the paint will get dinged and scratched up. It will look terrible and the scratches will be places where rust can start. I will be doing a spray in and getting a rubber livestock stall mat from tractor supply as a bed mat to help keep dropped items from damaging the bed. . The ridges in the bed will help any water to drain out.

I was quoted 550 from a local no name dealer and 589 from a linex guy. The dealer wants 650 for rhino. We shall see who is flexible.

Just a painted bed, stuff will slide all over the place. Scratches, dings and dents are inevitable.

A bed mat is a good option if you only haul stuff like mulch, fertilizer and stuff that doesn't scratch.

Drop in liner is a good low cost option. it will rub on the paint and eventually you will get surface rust under it. They also hold moisture and dirt under them.

Spray in is the most costly, offers the best protection.

No. I will put floor mats in the interior to keep it clean, and will do the same in the bed, a replaceable mat.

If/when it gets beat up enough to bother me, I will consider a spray-in to spruce it up. That will be several years down the road, at soonest, if ever.

Bonus - If it gets wrecked or stolen in the meantime, I've saved a few bucks!

I've used mat b4 and only issue is trimming around the wheel wells...tough to do. Mat is very convenient for knees and keeping stuff from sliding around. I may get a mat for temporary use but if I bed gets scratched up then i'll get a bed liner. You can always add a bed spraying liner any time. Wonder if anyone knows, "Does a spray in liner allows for water drainage from the bed holes?" Sort of assumed it does not.

Our Ram 1500 is still scratch free 12 years later with just a bed mat. The key is if you have scratchy things, just contain them in something. Usually for packaging at big box stores your rocks and what not will come bagged but even if they aren't we have a big stack of these extra huge multipurpose mixer tubs, and they are great for throwing in loose rocks and what not. The rubber matt keeps them from sliding around. For other stuff, we just strap it down so it doesn't go flying everywhere, and also keep moving blankets under the back seat which not only protects the item you're moving but the paint too on the sides.

Spray in is best, but bed mat is a close second, and some even put spray in and a bed mat since its so much nicer to kneel on smooth rubber than the pokey hard bed liner texture.
