Why Do I Need A Truck Bedliner?

When you bring home a new truck, one of the first upgrades you might consider is a spray-on bedliner. Adding the protection of a bedliner is one of the best investments you can make to preserve the value and functionality of your vehicle. Do you need a truck bedliner? If you need your truck to get things done, absolutely

Why Every Truck Should Have A Bedliner

There are many options when it comes to deciding on a bedliner, but you will certainly want one. There are several reasons why every truck should have a bedliner, especially the type of spray-on bedliner offered by LINE-X. For new truck owners, investing in a quality bedliner can:

  • Reduce the risk of dents, scratches, and gouges in your truck bed
  • Reduce the risk of corrosion and rust
  • Improve the resale value of your vehicle
  • Offer a textured surface that is more stable for securing cargo

Why Do Trucks Not Come With A Bedliner? 

In most cases, trucks don’t come with bedliners to keep production costs down. Depending on the manufacturer, trim package, and other options, certain models of the same brand may or may not have bedliners installed at the factory.

Even when companies offer bedliners straight from the production line, they tend to be of lower quality. All manufacturers rely on tape to cover up taillights, headlights, and other surfaces. This paint tape can leave gaps in bedliner coverage. Few manufacturers apply bedliner coating to an adequate thickness. Manufacturers typically spray bedliners between 60 and 80mm, while LINE-X is between 100 to 125mm. It’s not just thinner, either. Mass-produced bedliners, sprayed primarily by robots, aren’t sprayed evenly, which can leave certain areas of your bed vulnerable.
