I have one... had it for about a year and a half. I love it becuase I have a small yard business and is great for keeping everything clean back there. Mine has a lifetime guarentee, so If it rips they will repair it. It only happened to me once when I was hauling around concrete cinder blocks.
I highly reccomend getting one!

I have a Line-X spray in bed liner. I've had it for almost a year and love it! Doesn't scratch, chip, or discolor. It has quite a bit of grip too (contrary to popular belief by some). I wouldn't recommend the Rhino liner CRAP! They guy that did my Line-X liner took a piece of Line-X and a piece of Rhino liner and rubbed them together. Can you guess what happened? The Line-X tore the **** out of the Rhino liner piece. It literally crumbled all over the guy's table. It cost about $350 to spray my truck's bed (Sportside bed).

Plus, some guys over at a local airbag/custom shop I sometimes go to in CA told me to steer clear from Rhino liners. They've all had to have warranty re-sprays or patch work done to their beds because that stuff just peels and crumbles after a while. Trust me I saw one of the guy's beds and it didn't look pretty. And he wasn't putting anything different than what I put in my bed.

I have hears positives and negatives about both. I say to each his own. I had a drop in but took it ou in favor of a bed mat. The main thing I don't like about a spray in, is that they are added wieght that CAN'T be removed. The better ones can add 75#'s or more.

I have had the rihno for about a year now and have had no problems with it. I had a plastic bedliner before it and would highly recommend getting it.

Anyway, since I have a standard cab sportside a little added weight (I'm sure mines not 75 lbs worth) helps. Those composite beds on the Sportside are light and the added weight (plus my fiberglass bed cover) help it from gettin squirrely when I stomp it (like it use to).

I'm not big money like most of these people so I went with the cheap roll in liner. I figured since i dont haul stuff in the truck i should last for a while. I was really only looking to cover some of the scratches in the bed from the previous owner. It cost $50 and looks like my friends spray in liner.

The problem with the roll in liner is it is a thin layer were my spray in liner is at least a 1/4 inch thick? If you don't plan on hauling much that would probably be fine though.

I did a roll in Herculiner and it was good for a couple months but it seems to be getting thinner for some reason??? Not on the walls but just on the floor, you can see little spots of paint everywhere that were originally covered. It has little chunks of rubber all in it to give it a nice texture, but it is like sandpaper! It has been about a year and it doesn't rub any black stuff onto your skin when you touch it, but it is NOT for heavy duty use. And it only weighs as much as a gallon of paint.
