Importance of Truck Bed Lining on the Ram 1500

Owning a vehicle can be viewed as an investment, and as with any piece of property, you want to make sure it is protected. One of the simplest ways to prevent dings and scratches to a truck bed is to apply a protective coating or lining. To help keep our customers informed, we want to break down the advantages of lining in the truck bed and the different types of liners available.

Why Get Truck Bed Liners

Truck liners offer protection from dents, rust, and weather so that you don’t need to make frequent trips to the repair shop. Your belongings and cargo will be less likely to slide around with a liner and will vibrate less, meaning that they are much less likely to suffer damage. Adding a liner to the bed also increases the value of the vehicle, so if you ever decide to sell your truck you can use it as a selling point to raise your asking price.

Types of Liners

• Spray-On – A simple rubber substance sprayed into the bed covers the paint completely and creates an airtight seal. These liners are amazing because they can be easily repaired and reapplied whenever they suffer damage.

• Drop-In – Drop-in liners are plastic sheets that are fitted for your vehicle and are bolted into place. While these sheets may need to be replaced more often, they are more affordable than the spray liner.
