No Drop-In or Spray-In: We Chose a DualLiner Bedliner for Our 2021 Ford F-150 - Cars.com
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
When we gave the 2021 Ford F-150 our Best of 2021 award and bought one for a year of continued review, we knew we wanted to put a bedliner in it. We just had to decide which type of bedliner we wanted, and the main types are drop-in and spray-in, and we didn’t love either option.
So what was our first choice? It ended up being the DualLiner, which is a hybrid of sorts that combines what’s good about drop-ins but executes it better, combined with a rubber mat for the floor instead of plastic or a coating.

These projects / updates are great. Keep them coming…
I would have a spray on for sure but buy just the rubber floor liner shown here and lay it on top of the spray on. Best of both worlds!

Or just use a bedrug for the bottom

That’s what I did for my last truck and will probably be doing for this one.
This looks very interesting. I like the concept, and easy installation.
Dual liner is not a good purchase for 1 reason. The concept is great. I bought one and I like it except when you go through a car wash, it pulls the rubber mat up, and then you have to craw back up in the bed and get that mat back down in the “notch” again. It’s a pain. I’m putting line x or rhino lining in. Just my opinion.
I just bought this liner. The rubber has bubbles and will tear causing a catch. No help from customer service regarding replacement. TOO EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THEY WILL NOT REPLACE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS.
This is a very good option!! Thanks for showing this.
My tonneau has drains by the bulkhead, is there access to the drains up there in the Dualiner or would I have to cut it?
My truck came with a factory spray in, in 2004. I recently lightly touched it up with a rattle can, and it looks as good as it was new. Added the bed mat.
what about rust underneath the liner?
I bought a new duraliner bed liner and it was installed in my truck I purchased a bed cover at the same time and place the bed liner has a thin spot in the front left side by the finder well all the way up to the slot for the spacer bar it’s so thin I can probably poke my finger through the bed liner . I bought it from Colton auto Worx in Clarksville Tennessee in February I took the bed cover off to clean the pollen off of the cover and around the edges and that’s when I found the thin spot in the liner it’s so thin the liner it’s self is drooped in that spot I contacted duraliner went to Colton auto Worx all they keep telling me is they have such a back log an their doing all they can to get the bed liners to their customers. So before anyone purchases one of these duraliner bed liners an they get it installed look at it closely and don’t just take it for granted that you got what you paid for they have a life time warranty but this issue is a factory defect and I would never have excepted it like it is it should have never left the factory like it is their quality control system is slacking .
I have gone through two spray in liners two different trucks. Contractor Wood cutting Our small farm. They just don’t hold up. I will give these a shot.

A factory spray in liner is superior to after factory i have had both. The factory spray in is much thicker.

I had a spray on with a rubber pad on top on my last truck. It’s works really well.
Spray-in + Bed Mat = Problem Solved =)
I'm not impressed. The drop-in is seamless or at least has fewer seams.
Owned a truck for the better part of a decade. I had a rubber mat in the back and while I do think that is a great addition, after 7 years or so it started to disintegrate and would leave marks on furniture, clothes, skin, or whatever it came in contact with. I have also worked closely with a 2019 F-150 that has the factory spray-in liner, and I disagree about it being too course. It seemed to have a good roughness balance where we actually slid items on it to load the bed and then didn't worry about then sliding around once in. While the fit and finish of the DualLiner appears well-done and well-made the Spray-In is the superior/more expensive product for a reason.
The price for this dualliner appears to have gone up recently.
I don't know, seems like a spray-in with a separate rubber mat would work better. For instance, I wouldn't be able to stand that gap between the liner and the power outlets.

I had a spray in with a rubber mat on my last truck and it really is the best option.
Nothing is better than spray in liner. Thats it!
If you have a drop-in bed liner, keep it and add a spray-in liner if you use it for heavy-duty use. A rubber bed mat is excellent, especially if you have dogs.

Aluminum alloy beds don't rust.
Aluminum may not rust... but it corrode's, ask mustang owners with an Aluminum hood.

He should've said scuff, but either way it's not a look you'd want to rock. And to be fair, if you're spraying in a liner you're likely not removing it. Ever.
Yeah… this is definitely a paid endorsement.
Yeah naw, spray in are better. Never heard of them damaging anything. That's what rags and rugs are for.
get to the point
