Bed Rug or Sportliner.

[BlackRanger01]

I've settled on a bed rug liner. Question...

Classic Bed Liner | Bed Liners & Mats - BedRug | Bedrug

or

Bedliner - Sportliner, For 6.0 Bed | Customize Your Ford

Are they the same exact thing? I'm leaning toward to Bed Rug cuz of lifetime warranty but is Sportliner any different?

Thanks...

Considering you can get the Bed Rug for your 6 foot bed from Amazon for $400 bucks/free shipping with Prime...no brainer.
They have a loyal following and willing to bet that Ford re-brands their product under license.
When $$$ allows I'll be going with their Bed Mat for my spray in liner.

Based on the pictures on each their sites, it looks like they might be made for Ford by BedRug. There seems to be a label in the same position on both and the logo placement is also similar.

BedRug

Ford

If so, +1 to what @Grumpaw said.

Thanks. I just ordered it on Amazon. I don't have Prime but it's still free shipping.

Bedrug no brainer. Look at my posts

I don‘t get the attraction of a bed rug. I don‘t have carpet in my house, so I certainly don’t want it in the bed of my truck. What am I missing?

It's not same material as carpet. It's all plastic.

yeah, I figured, but it still seems like a poor option if you actually haul dirty stuff in the bed, like mulch, etc. Or do you guys that get rugs not do stuff like that?

Well first off it's not a poor option..it's an EXCELLENT OPTION.....I will not be hauling dirt in mine. And if I did ....you can POWER WASH IT. IT IS MILDEW AND MOLD RESISTANT, ACID ,GAS,AND OIL RESISTANT. ITS A SUPER OPTION. DONT MOCK IT TILL U TRY IT PAL

I always feel the same way but my fishing buddy has always put them in his F150s and it cleans out fine. It's the same type of stuff on bass boats so you can pressure wash it out.

I had the same idea. They make a slightly different material (BedRug Impact) that doesn't have a nap to catch and hold sand, dirt, and fibers quite so tenaciously. But they don't have it to fit the Ranger (yet). I don't know if they have plans to do so. But I'd buy it if they made it. Not so sure I'd like carpet type material. I use my truck to haul yard trash and some plants make gooey sap, etc. Seems like it'd be hard to keep clean with the way I use it. But right now I just have a Rough Country bed mat. My fender wells are exposed to the goo and could get scratched if I carry some construction debris, which happens occasionally.

Experience: I had a BedRug in my 2005 Ranger for 15 yrs. The box had a cap on it the whole time. Still water gets in there and takes a while to dry out in the winter; spring/summer /fall, drys fairly quickly.
The box did not have any other material in it, just rug to paint. In the end, there was some, mostly surface rust, but some not so surface.

Now, on the 2019 Ranger, I also have a BedRug, but also had the box sparyed with Line-X to seal it. So, obviously, BedRug over the Line-X should let it handle any water that does get in (soft top tonneau) .

Cost a little more, but belts AND suspenders always do.

I thought the same.. but then when you do Line-X, they sand down the bed and apply... so 15 years later, would it matter if you apply Line-X then?

I'd probably buy tarps for that case.

I would say the scuff the paint, and not take to bare metal. The Line-X needs a little some thing to bite into. Though I have not seen the process in action, I can not say for sure. But at the price point the cost of labor to do that would not be covered in the price.

As the underside is undercoated and with the Line-X, the inside is also effectively "undercoated". Goal is to avoid the rust, and any need for sanding at anytime in the future.
