Who does not have a bed liner?

[DC1990]

I'm curious who opted to not have a bed liner? I did not order one simply because I thought I could get it done locally a little cheaper. But I do think trucks look great without the liner but then they get scratched up. So who doesn't have one and why?

no liner just a mat, not going to haul heavy abrasive cargo. If bed gets scratched down the road I can always have it sprayed and have a fresh look.

Same here. I just have the rubber bed mat that I bought with points. I had them in my f-150s, also. Always liked them because stuff doesn't slide around in the bed, and they're easy to hose out underneath. Just flip one side of it over on the other and rinse it out. Then repeat for the other side.

I got the spray-in type thing that comes with the lariat. It's very similar to what I had in my F-150.

All my previous trucks (all Rangers) had drop in liners. Problem was the paint rub off at certain points. My Mav was purchased off the lot. I have a few heavy blankets that have done the trick so far.. i use my truck, but take the time to liad things properly..

No liner here because I wanted to keep it light. The bed liner adds weight and I knew I wanted a bed cap which is pretty heavy. I have the bed mat, but it would be cool to try the tray, which is just the bottom part of the drop-in liner.

None, because I am cheap. A $40 stall mat purchased from the local farm/ranch supply store does the trick for me.

The day in October '22 when I received my Hybrid I was going to order a drop in from Noble Truck here in Fresno , there was a brand available for two hundred something dollars , sorry , I don't recall the brand....but ....on my delivery inspection it was clear that somewhere along the line , probably at the dealership slid something in our out of the bed . The bed and inside the tailgate were scratched . The dealer gave me a spray in liner , no charge ! I was happy with that !

I have a hybrid Lariat that I found on the lot that had all of the bells and whistles, including a spray in bed liner. I wouldn't own a truck w/o it. And to avoid having things from sitting on a high or low spot, making things more prone to tipping over, I also purchased a carpeted bed mat off of Real Truck. Things slide in and out of the bed easier, plus evens out the floor so there's no ridges anymore.

None because when I ordered mine getting the factory spray in liner was causing build delays so I opted not to order. I've seen truck beds rusted out due to wear between the drop in plastic liners and the bed so I am not a fan of those. We use this as a work truck and load & unload pallets in the back with a forklift so yes there are scratches in the bed. Scratches in the bed? - Who cares its a work truck that makes money for the company not some collectors item that sits in a garage that we only drive on sunny days. Scratches in the bed and dirt in the interior are just what happens when you use trucks as they were intended. The vehicle is not abused & is maintained per the schedule and goes to the car wash every week or so but I'm not getting bent out of shape over some scratches in the bed.

No liner here. Just a rubber mat. Tonneau Cover on top is all that is needed.

I have the factory spray in liner but I had to get one of the several Amazon rubber/foam bed mat options because my tool boxes slid around too much on the factory liner.

One option, if you like the color matched bed, is to find a spray liner provider that does color matching. My dad had his 03 Tacoma sprayed with a green bed liner and it looked pretty nice that way. You could still tell the difference because it didn't have metallic in it, but it was obviously much closer than just having a black liner.

Why would you need one? It is a truck. Truck beds get scratched if you use them. Why buy a truck if you are going to be afraid to use it? Like people driving a jeep who have never left the pavement. I just do not understand.

I didn't carry ANYTHING in the bed before getting it lined. Remember the bed is part of the Maverick body- can't replace it. I didn't want any rust forming back there.

I put a roll up metal cover on it and a rubber bed mat. No need for the liner
