LINE-X Vs Drop In Tub Liners
Home » Automotive » LINE-X vs Drop-In50% of Drop-In Owners Switched to Spray-On
Let’s face it, drop-in bedliners look cheap because… they are. They’re made of low-quality, black plastic or rubber that’s sure to fade, warp, and crack over time. To make it worse, debris and moisture get trapped under the liner, rotting out the bed you were trying to protect in the first place. Give your truck what it deserves. Drop the drop-in… and LINE-X IT!

Drop-In Bedliner
Durability
Let’s face it, some drop-in liners can look cheezy. As a cheaper alternative to spray-on liners, drop-ins offer utility but sacrifice aesthetic. Drop-in liners do not offer color options, and many brandish a large, permanent logo right in the center of the liner.
Aesthetics
Drop-in liners are made of either plastic or rubber, and many are made of low quality materials that are prone to warping and cracking.
Impact & Abrasion Protection
While drop-in liners offer a buffer between your truck bed and rough cargo, loose material can get trapped underneath the liner and actually scuff the truck bed.
Installation
Typical plastic drop-in liners require drilling holes in the bed to secure the liner to the truck. Over time liners can vibrate loose, potentially falling out of the truck bed at high speeds due to poor installation. Drop-ins are known to trap water between the liner and truck bed, leading to rust or corrosion.
Repairable
Drop-ins can’t be repaired, only replaced. Every few months the drop-in liner needs to be removed to clear away small debris, sand, dirt or moisture that can build up under the liner and cause issues.
Other Products & Services
Most drop-in companies only offer one core product with few customization or other options.
