If you drive a truck, such as the
popular F-150, chances are you're hauling valuables or equipment. Doing this can give your metal truck bed quite a beating from scratches, dents, the elements and even fading from the sun. The most obvious solution to this problem is to install a bedliner to your truck. Bedliners of all types can
protect your truck bed from scratches, dents or dings while also providing a
slip-resistant surface for your cargo.
Bedliners come in two types: Drop-in and Spray-in, both of which Richmond Ford West can install for you. A drop-in bedliner is a simple plastic piece that is "dropped in" to your truck bed while a spray-in bedliner is a coating that is sprayed directly onto your truck bed. Here are some handy-dandy details on each so you know which bedliner is best for you.
Drop-In
- Easy install - simply drop it in
- Less expensive than spray-in
- Easily replaced
- Covers up existing scratches and dents
- Water, sand and gravel could get caught between the bed liner and the bed
| Spray-In
- Seamless air-tight layer between the liner and the bed - no worry about water damage
- Long lasting
- Increases resale or trade-in value
- Can also protect bedrails and tailgate
- Can fade due to sunlight

In summary, your choice would likely depend on if you are looking for the easy and inexpensive drop-in bedliners or the long lasting and more protective spray-in bedliners. To schedule a bedliner install or to learn more information, email jfoust@richmondford.com or call (804) 273-9700.
