Mine came with spray in bed liner and I added the rough country mat. Very pleased. Both are getting dinged up from hauling junk so glad I have them.
Does your rough country bed mat have little nubs on the bottom for drainage? I ordered one as well because it said that it had them on amazon, but it is definitely smooth.

I have had a bed mat for 3 years now.

I wish I hadn't.

Any piece of microscopic junk gets under it. My bed bottom is riddled with hundreds of spots of surface rust. Eventually I will ditch it and roll on some herculiner when I get more free time.

I can't even bring myself to take a picture and show you. Right now, out of sight out of mind.

That’s the way I ordered her. For now a little modified, the picture is not fresh one.
No mat and there will be no mat, as the bed is small only strictly necessary items have their place there.

My RC bed mat does have bumps on the bottom.

I went with the Ford rubber bed mat with Ranger logo using my Ford Pass points and also will be doing a Raptor spray in liner this spring once it gets warmer. After 2 years of nothing back there my bed looks like a war zone

Currently weighing the options myself. I got quoted $660 for Rhino and have yet to get response from others. I vaguely remember a dealer had written that Line-X was $800. Does anyone have numbers to compare?

Ok ... I have the Line-X in my Ford Ranger and added a foam mat (mostly for when we camp in our bed tent), I have an F-150 with just the Ford Rubber mat, and I wish I had Line-X or the spray liner in that truck.

Spray in liner is my vote, hands down.

I guess where you live plays a part in the cost. Here in Va. I paid $475 for a Bullet Liner Spray . I consider them to be better than Rhino or Line X, just my opinion. Bullet Liner owner originally started Line X but had problems with his franchises keeping quality up, he sold, and started Bullet. If there's one in your area hit them up.
The local Ford dealers in a 4 county area here use them for their customers who want to have their trucks done by the dealer prior to delivery.

Thanks. I put in a quote request for the "local" Bullet Liner installers. Issue is that they are 40+ miles out and only open 9-5 M-F.

I've tried them all. Problem with any drop in is material getting under it. Always happens and it wears off the paint leading to rust. Problem with rubber bed mat alone is wheel wells are exposed and they are very prone to dents. My solution for the last three trucks is spray in LineX with the Ford rubber bed mat. The spray in does strengthen the wheel wells against dents.

Reviving this thread. Seriously considering the Techliner just as a temporary solution until I notice wear that would appear to need to be spray in lined.

If I had it to do over again back when I had the $$$, I'd do the spray-in AND a mat of some type...bedrug maybe...as my old man bones don't do well with hard surfaces anymore.

You don't carry a set of gel lined knee pads and a 2 foot step ladder in the truck for when you have to climb in the bed?

I have a drop in liner and do not like it. I'm on the fence about a line-x spray in or just a rubberized bed mat to go with my hard tonneau.

Thoughts / opinions on the two?
I have both! AND, installed the “drop in liner” on the tailgate. Works fine for three years!
