I installed a DualLiner about a week ago, here is a quick review.

I paid $379, including shipping, directly from DualLiner. I have the tailgate step so there was one less piece to ship me, so it was $20 cheaper.

It arrived in a big box, and damn it is heavy! That thick rubber floor is beefy. I think it will outlive the truck.

First thing to do it remove the bed tie-downs. Then the front piece goes in, then the sides. Best to watch the install video first, because order is important here! The push-pins go in next, and THEN you re-install the bed tie downs.

I had to take a sharp utility knife and trim a few small bits to make it fit. The holes for the bed tie-down bolts needed to be opened up about 1/4" on the back, and the side piece on the driver's side had to be trimmed about 1/4" to make it fit under the stock bed rail cap.

There is about a 1/2" gap on the driver's side, but it fits nicely flush on the passenger side. See the pics. A bit of an annoyance, but not a big deal.

Last thing in is the rubber floor. It slides under the sides and the front. It takes a bit of muscle to get it in there and seated just right. It doesn't help that it was pretty cold when I was installing it - it will take a while for it to flatten out, as it is shipped in a roll.

Yes, water, dirt, and other crap gets under it, just like any other non-spray-in bedliner. But at least it is fairly easy to pull the floor out and wash under it. It has lots of raised bumps on the underside to allow the water to escape.

Pros: No-skid, impact resistant floor surface. Tight fit against the sides. Bed tie-downs are not hidden and hard to get to. Easy to install by yourself. Forever-warranty. Good price.

Cons: Not a perfect fit. Water and dirt get underneath easily. Bed tie-downs now mounted on top of plastic (will this reduce their hold strength?) Hard to install in the rain at 35F :p

It was more expensive than a 1-piece bedliner, but cheaper than Line-X by a few hundred $.

Looks pretty good, isn't exactly completely flush...but still looks clean. I'm wondering if or any dirt or derby can creep between those cracks?

I'm still debating on what to exactly get, a bed rug, spray on bed liner, or something along the lines of this....or just stick with my bed mat...decisions...decisions lol

I did a bit o' muddin', and dirt definitely got underneath. Not a lot, but some. I pulled out the rubber mat and rinsed it out.

It would be a lot more work to clean out a bed mat after that muddin' trip :)

I don't think this would be the right solution for a work truck (you want to slide stuff in and out of a work truck, this rubber floor prevents sliding anything) but is great for a big toy.

funny thing about these product, it really is all about your intentions on the truck usage. For me, the bed mat is plenty, but I sure liked the sprayed on liner in my FX4. to each his own and to each his level of need.... I like the look of this product, good luck!

Hello my name is Todd I am with Dual Liner and I wanted to thank you for your very thorough "quick review". I see that the Load Guard seems to be misaligned, and I wanted to see if it settled into place. When we build the sidewalls we actually use an exact mold of the actual truck box. That being said we do have to leave room for it to expand and contract with changing weather conditions, which for your truck's load guard would be less than a quarter inch not a half inch. Please let me know if your load guard has not shifted into place and I will be happy to work with you and figure out what is going on my email is [email protected]. We do take pride in our product and that is why we will not produce the Dual Liner anywhere else than here in the USA. This allows us to keep a close eye on our product and make sure that our tolerances are up to our standards. Thanks ertman for bringing this to our attention and also thanks again for the honest review.

I'll keep an eye on it for the next week or so, and report back if it "settles in" or not.
