Picked up my Maverick on Sunday and have been laying out what I need for it and I know I need a tailgate liner (I ordered a bed mat and will add a tonneau cover)...

What is the best tailgate liner out there?

Lots of opinons out there so I will chime in. If you can, spring for spray-in like LineX. I used Rhino years ago on my 2006 GMC Canyon and it was good to.

It dosn't allow moisture under it, it acts as sound deadener and is a tough surface when using the bed like a truck.

Show your LineX or Rhino dealer that Ford charges $495. It is only a 4'6" bed. Ask if they will match the price. Offer cash as an incentive. Most of the cost goes in prep and labor. Don't try to do it yourself with spray cans.

I bought mine from Ford. Don’t recall how much it was but def under $100. You can use your points and get it for free 🤗

The one for @$80 from accessories.ford.com is a great choice; torx bolts that you remove are T30 I think and the ones that come with it are T25 I think. Anyway, just be prepared when you install it that you have correct torx on hand; and save the old ones because you never know when you need them. Installation is a breeze; nice fit, looks nice, and you can use your points to get it.
Doesn't interfere with tonneau cover either

I like the DeeZee #87027 rubber bed mat because it fits perfectly, keeps cargo from sliding around and is easily removable for cleaning. I then added the TrailFX Tailgate Liner #RFMA22TG to protect the tailgate surface. This is vacuum or blow molded from sheet stock, and hand-trimmed, so the fit is only so-so but it does the job and was pretty cheap.

Not sure about brands... but the decision for spray in v drop in - for the Mav spray in wins hands down. The drop in is only better for a huge bed where you need to slide things across the surface, like sending a tool box towards the cab or a large heavy object, refrigerator etc. Spray in, cargo will not slide nearly as easily. With the man's small bed you do not need slide capability. I have had both over the past 20 years

Was looking and saw your bed mat, can you tell me which one you selected here? Is this Ford also?
