Drop in liner Vs Line-X

[Stingray23]

LineX with a bed mat .. best of both worlds. You get protection from the LineX and the bed mat is soft if you need to haul fragile items. And both items clean easily:

Thats exactly what I'm gonna do. Looks great

i have the factory bed drop-in and previously i would be the first person to say ditch it and get a bed coating done. my new opinion is that the factory ford drop-in bed liner fits very well and looks attractive. i plan on using it for as long as possible and then if someday it looks tired I will just get the bed Line-X'd. any associated damage/paint wear the drop in caused is a non-issue if Line-X is going over the top anyway....

I got the drop in for mine as well... Had the same one in my 04 lightning and it held up really well. To each their own though. Plus I'm getting mine for free.

I got a drop in it ...
kinda matches the step tailgate

I'm considering removing my factory drop-in bed liner for Line-X. Everyone who posted a pic of their linex on this thread has the linex bed and plastic railing. Could someone post a pic of what the truck bed looks like with the linex bed without the plastic railing? Can't seem to find any online...

Don't think you will find many, there are many holes under the factory bed caps.

Damn, I guess that answers that question. Thanks.

I know I might catch some flak only because of the price it cost me, but I am super happy with the factory spray in. I think it looks a little better than the line-x and since I ordered the Raptor, less hassle that way.

It won't after 3 or 4 months in the sun. First, it will lose its "sparkle", second it will begin to lose some color over the first year. The factory bedliner is not UV stable. LINE-X Premium won't do that, it is UV stable.
