How do you protect your pickup truck bed? Rhino lining? Nothing? Bed mat? Plastic bed liner? Other?

Body man must sell the spray on stuff. 86 Totoya; only thing not rusted was under the plastic bedliner. 91 Ford and 2000 Ford; bed looks like new under the bedliner.

Until I got into city life I never saw a bed liner on working trucks.

When I bought my truck (it was 16 years old), my twinkle in the eye was to paint the floor with a good thick coat of roof paint, then line it with rubber stall matts. Park it in the sun and let nature bond everything. Been 3 years and all I've managed is a sheet if 1/4 inch plywood that blew off a truck in front of me a couple of years ago. Still got the mats and roof paint if I ever find an open space on the honeydo list. A bed liner would be my option, but it's expensive and a real PITA to get something like that sent to Germany.

1/4 inch steel plate in my 51 GMC 3/4 ton.
I have a slide in liner in the Nissan. Both work as planned. The slide in liner is nice to clean and sandy things do not wear off the look of black it has. JimN

I have Rino Lining. It is guaranteed for the life of the truck. I have hauled A lot of heavy metal stuff that I had to drag across the lining and it has not hurt it yet. I did knock some off with my four wheeler against the front of the bed. Took it back to the dealer and they touched it up. I am getting ready to take my RTV in for the same coating. Plastic liners are a thing of the past for me. I hate stuff sliding around when I drive.

nothing, my old chevy[ '83] has a 12 foot flatbed which has wood for the deck, it needs replaced, now but most stuff doesnt fall thru yet, its road worthy but mostly retired to the farm now, my dodge ['94] has the bed floor it came with ,scrathced and grey primered in spots, it dont look bad though [ its a silver truck] the reason i didnt use a bed liner is the truck before it, had a slip in liner in it, the traped water and dirt and debris virtually destroyed the floor of it, if i ever trade the dodge in [ not likley as i dont like the new trucks] i will spray the floor with primer, then spray the factory color coat, then trade it in, it wont bring much by then anyway but the bed floor wont be rotted thru

I use a rubber mat to keep things from sliding around.

I've got Line-X, and it's held up well against what I'd call the middlin' (not mild, not heavy) abuse I've put to it. I TRY not to throw stuff onto it that would dent the bed (not always successful), but I've dragged pickup rear-ends as an example over it.

In line with the thread down below, I had a factory bedliner. Didn't replace it with the Line-X until I put the gooseneck ball (B&W) in. Scared me right to death to see the chafin' and rust that had been goin' on in the year and a half that that bedliner was in there. I'd think a mat for a spray-on like Rhino or Line-X would add to the longevevity. Put a mat over that if your gonna be tossin a lot of stuff.

Rino liner, and rubber mat, but mine is retired like me. I just like trucks better than cars.

I have a bed liner. In the box since the first week I bought it new in 2000. A friend who is a bodyman told me that was a mistake. He said I should have left it out until I was ready to sell and THEN put it in. Said I had paid to dent it if I wanted to. Also said it could chafe the paint and cause rust. I have been afraid to look...

Allan that purty ford of yours dont look like it is working too hard for its livin :> ON TOPIC Line x is the way to go, same as rhino but it is applied at 180 or so degrees so it burns in and never peels like you can see rhino lining do sometimes.
