- Best bed liner for your truck? Is spray-in bedliner better than plastic bed liner? This is the topic for discussion in today's video, and we explore a little design flaw in Ford design!
In my videos I talk about my experience daily driving my 2020 F450. My truck has updated 6.7 Powerstroke with 1,050 LB-FT of Torque and 475hp. I also feature my 2019 F250 with the 6.2 L gas v8. Comment below and thanks for watching!

You have an excellent combo there with the spray in + bed mat 👍🏼.
Great Video & Explanation !
Great post, TY!
I went with a plastic insert. They take a massive beating. I can throw whatever in there and not worry about it. The spray ins will fail over time and repairing them is more difficult than just swapping out the plastic liner. And with the Fords, you don't have to worry about rust, especially if you simply lift it up in the center and spray it out every now and then.
Hey I’ve had spray in and drop in bed liners. I think drop in is better for the Fords because it’s thicker than spray in , takes more of a beating without denting the aluminum bed.
Bought a truck canopy for my 2012 f150, huge puddles in the back of the plastic bedliner. Seen a video of a guy saying the problem is metal headrail on the f150 that you have to remove it and spray the underneath & on top of the bed. I'll try that but here in canada i may wait until next spring.
DS, perhaps change the gasket on the plug lid?
The plastic liners are the best. Their downside is just appearance. Plastic looks cheap. Being slick allows for clearing out the bed easily. Don't need slick? There are many cargo management solutions. Now if work isn't a high priority then I like the Bedrug. My truck bed needs are light duty.
There is no clear winner here, as it really comes down to how you use your truck, what you tow, and if you run any type of a bed cover. So to each, their own... I’ve had both over the last 25years, and most weeks am carrying toted camping equipment or chains and misc thick plates of steel that are really tough on a box. I should also mention that I always have some sort of cover or cap. The spray ins don’t hold up to that kind of abuse, are hard to quickly hose out, and the poly tote boxes are so not slide around. The chains, steel pieces and barrels sliding in and out make short work of the spray ins in my experience. Never had a problem with the trailer plugs, but the box cover keeps the water out so it’s only the occasional hose out job that gets to that part and quite honestly it hasn’t been a problem. One additional advantage that you didn’t mention for the spray in would be compatibility with 5th wheel hitches. I’ve seen some goose ball setups with drop in liners, but haven’t with 5th wheels hitches. If my use pattern changes such that I’m less severe on the box and maybe start towing a 5er, then I may consider a spray in in the future. Otherwise the drop in will always be the best fit for me. Thanks for sharing!
Hey aluminum is going to dent more so with spray in bed liner. Drop in bed line is thicker and won’t allow bed floor or bed sides dent.
Well DS without watching this video spray in is the best the slip ins either rub and scatch the paint.
With drop ins the rain water collects under liner and rots the bed where spray doesnt
I’ve always used a 3/4 inch plywood for the bed of the truck!
whats stopping it from flying out ?
@@BIKEMAN21 never had a problem with it flying out. Been doing that since 1978
Same here, farm pickups. Works well.
The spray in is good but the problem is when you throw stuff in it dents the bed up. The plastic one won’t dent the bed so I always get the plastic
True. The plastic can take a beating!
Hey Sean what if I buy a husky bed mat will that fit on top of my plastic liner? It’ll help keep things from sliding around
Probably won't fit nicely.. 🤔
@@DS-TRUCKS hmmm I wonder if I can trim it because the bed liner protects everything and the bed mat helps with grip ya know what I mean? I hate when things slide all over
@@timschultes6467 probably... Have u seen the OEM bed mat?
@@DS-TRUCKS no I haven’t
@@timschultes6467 they are very nice!
waited so long for the flaw i fell asleep and truck is now a year older...
I’m old and have had knee, hip, and ankle replacements. I’m thinking the drop in would be easier on my joints
Can't you just cut holes on the plastic one for drainage?
Yea. I ended up doing that.
@@DS-TRUCKS ok great, I'm going with plastic for the ridges
@@mark2524 yeah. Good impact resistant!
Great idea
I used to be a huge spray-in bedliner fan, but my needs are quickly shifting from occasional light-duty hauling to hauling steel rims, LP bottles, hydraulic rams, etc. Plus lots of forklift tine-scraping when loading in a pallet. No spray-in on earth is gonna take that.
My buddy has an original Pendaliner on his early 00s Ranger. I don't think I've ever seen him without at least a couple junk engine blocks, transmissions, pistons, or some rims back there. The liner has deep gouges, but the bed is perfect.
Wow
Could have both
@@DS-TRUCKS That's true. I'll be getting a new stripped-down 350 eventually, so rust from moisture isn't a huge issue since it's an aluminum bed.
I figure when trade-in time comes, I can always sell the drop-in or swap it to another truck and have the bed Line-Xed to boost the value a bit more.
"Which"
My vote is plastic if not towing i guess. The only rational conclusion is Ford never really meant for these trucks to used to tow anything. looking more like a marketing gimmick or as you say total and complete utter failure in design... pathetic. What really pisses me off is the capless AND lockless quick fuel filler, idiotic design failure, maybe you can make a video about that too.
That was an ignorant comment. I use my truck for work all the time and it works great thank you very much
There is a valve just below the filler that keeps foreign items out of the gas tank. That’s why if you fill with a gas can you need the special filler funnel. Ford has had these for 15 years… never had an issue. Oh and other companies are using a near same design.
@@GasCJMan I’ve been using the cap less filler for a long time also and never a problem.
@@timschultes6467 I would bet the majority of people would agree with me, the capless filler has been a design failure ever since thought up. with 137 litre and 87 litre tanks why would anyone need a capless fuel filler anyways. idiotic. It solved nothing and created many problems. These are little things that really make me regret buying F!#$. And other annoying things like faulty door locks, only one door that has a key cylinder, no body dent guards etc
@@BIKEMAN21 like I said I never had a problem and I own a fleet of ford trucks. I stand by my comment. You’re a very negative person I see. Bye bye
