Line-X Premium vs. Platinum

[BigBlock]

Regarding warranty does Line-X have a lifetime warranty on their spray in liners like Rhino liner does? If so what difference would it make which option you picked with Line-X liner?

LINE-X was the first to offer a nationwide limited lifetime warranty (against cracking, bubbling, or flaking) and Rhino copied LINE-X's warranty in October of 2008.

If you plan on NOT having a tonneau cover, then LINE-X Premium is fine for most applications. It's tough and will keep its color and gloss. LINE-X Platinum which has higher tear and tensile strengths, is for extreme truck bed duty.

If you don't need or don't care about fading, then choose standard black LINE-X or LINE-X Pro for extreme duty.

LINE-X Xtra is not a stand alone product, it's used along with other LINE-X products and is used for colors other than black.

These prices are unbelievable. I paid $275 for Toff Bed Liner with a Lifetime Warranty...high pressure and extra thick. Put a BedRug Mat on the bottom that is quickly removable. And a BakFlip F1 to cover it. $1070 for everything in the bed.

$875 to get your bed sprayed is highway robbery in my opinion.

It is less than $400 from the factory. My question is how much for the wheel liner area in the back.

Toff is junk. Modified (mostly) polyurethane and pushed through a high pressure machine. They used to be low pressure. They also used to be a Ford OEM approved product, but Ford dumped them pretty fast.

No complaints from any of the local guys in my area that have been using their location for years. The local Ford dealership sends all of their trucks there for liners.

...probably because they're cheap which maximizes the dealer's profit. Toff dealers are not bound by any license or franchise. So, spray a thin 40 mils, charge $299, some auto dealerships love that.

Ehh. Maybe you're right. But my buddy that worked their sprayed it on extra thick and with the BedRug Mat and BakFlip F1, I'm not worried in the slightest.

Well, one of my employees used to be a regional sales rep for Toff. The person no longer works for me, but he told me a few things about Toff.

Extra thick is not necessarily a good thing. Would you rather have 1/8" of titanium or 1/4" of aluminum? Polyurethane liners have to be thick because they have significantly lower tear and tensile strengths. For example, Rhino Tuff Stuff (100% polyurethane, low pressure) is applied very thick because it's a very weak product. Tuff Stuff is no longer advertised by Rhino, but dealers still sell it. The new high pressure Toff is not quite as bad as Tuff Stuff, but it's not that great either.

Like I said...thick high pressure for me. It looks good and so far has performed well and to my expectations. And with the lifetime warranty, I'm not that concerned.

It is important to note that Line-X has good tolerances generally <1/4" for fittings even in the higher end applications. Thicker is not always better and for that I agree.

To make two other points:

-Line-X has a lifetime warranty at all levels of their BED applications, so no... I have already looked into Body Armour and other apps and that is not lifetime warrantied.

-To make a point for Platinum (b/c I was definitely trying to get a full Platinum treatment to Rockers, Wells, Bed) the actual chemical composition of Platinum is different than Reg/Prem that Platinum bonds much Better than its predecessors. The Platinum polyurea molecules are much smaller, a large improvement over the other liners that make it better bonding, hence a property that makes it stronger too.

Save your money and get the cheapest line x available. Then buy a BED RUG and put over the top. Best investment I have ever made. Then cover that with a Bak Flip. Tell corrosion and any guy that names his truck Wallie to take a hike.

^Yeah well to each his own.

Guess some people like to use their trucks differently. I use my truck as a work truck, DD, and range truck, but I think its safe to say that any guy calling himself 9mm would rather cut corners and save that extra $$$ for ammo.

And yeah... guess I must not know too much about firearms as well...
