A bedliner is a protective covering for the exposed floor and walls of a pickup truck’s open cargo hold to guard against scratches and dents. A bedliner can be a spray-on coating or a drop-in insert. You can purchase either type as manufacturer options on a new vehicle or aftermarket products. A bedliner often includes coverage for the tailgate, but can be bought without it.
Professional shops usually apply aftermarket spray-on bedliners though several companies offer DIY kits. You can hire a professional to install a drop-in insert or you can install one at home. Each type of bedliner has pros and cons. The market offers many products, so do plenty of research on your needs and what’s available before deciding which bedliner is best for you.
