I would definitely recommend Line-X. I had it put on my 2002 Dodge Dakota back in 03 after I bought it. I've hauled routine house items like yard waste to the dump, 2 couches, 3 fridges. And when my cousin had to downsize is company 3 times by moving pallets weighting around 3,000 lbs. each loaded with fasteners. Then helping him this year when he moved to a bigger warehouse when is business got better. The guy that ran that location told me that I could go head and use it. Also, I notice that he forgot to reinstall the 2 cargo hooks in the back of the bed which he did not spray. He didn't spray them just in case I had to change them if they got damaged. he knocked down $200 from the job because of that. And I just got the 2 price quotes 1 for under the bed sides, and 1 for over the bed sides. I went with the over the bed side to cover and protect the top of the bed sides. And it still looks like the day it came out of the Line-X place.
Good thought provoking review! I had a Line-X bed-liner sprayed in my 2015 truck in 2016 and had a folding cover on the bed for protection from elements and thieves...after 5 years of being covered, it was dusty looking like yours is in this video. I went to a local car wash (you need the pressure, a garden hose won't do it) and hit the bed for about 5 minutes with the pressured water and it looked as good as new. Honestly, the Line-X place I went to said most local dealerships send their trucks to his business for the liner and then the dealer stands behind it as factory.
You lost me at "It's at least 1/4 inch thick". Specs are 120 mil which equates to 1/8th thick on the floor. Your factory liner is prepped around the edges and the edges only. That Line-X is prepped 100% of the surface. I can remove a factory liner in about 2 hours... I can remove a Rhino or Line-x typically in 8-12 hours. That Line-x liner is much much much better than any factory liner.
This guy doesn’t know anything about the factory bedliners I’ve been doing spray on bedliners for 36 yrs they do not prep the factory bedliners if u get a knife cut both edges of factory bedliners start lifting it up and it just peels up so easy if u go to a business that does bedliners they prep the truck then try cutting the bedliner and peel it and it doesn’t come up that easy and when it gauges or peels if u go back to dealership they won’t take it back to the factory then u get the run about to get it fixed I’ve fixed so many factory bedliners the peel out so easy
I work for one of GMs tier 1 spray on company as a repair man. And I can tell ya we wouldn't pass the truck on the left , the lines on the pillars are croocked and not straight. We tape/mask them with a straight wire and tape them making them for visually appealing. But it's still a good liner from linex . I guess working at the place made me a snob or at least I can tell details lol. I'm glad your happy with either or and hope this little comment doesn't make it stand out too much. Just a small detail that I noticed for working at my job . Especially as a repair man. I would come in and redo the line and patch them. And if the patch is no good then I would respray the truck again. Making it a little thicker ( it's good for customer a thicker liner just last longer and no chance of poking through bad for us cause we would have to remask the truck and materials and man power to do it) hehehe
Sorry to burst your bubble but the lights and outlet don't come with need and protection package. Just bought a 23 LTZ and i have the lights and plug but no liner
All the high end liners use polyurea which requires $50,000 equipment (to start with) just to spray cuz it needs 3000 PSI and 200 degree. Well worth it factory or Line-X
My ‘19 Silverado trailboss didn’t come with wheel well protectors in the back. So I got them line x, it wasn’t much more the the plastic liners that trap dirt, water, and salt.. after a few years and not a single scratch..
Im ordering a gmc sierra The cost is about $450 after discount for a factory spray on liner Its twice as thick as most others. I can buy a diy kit with extra spray that can get close for about $250 but requires 10 hours of labor
Yes, for some dumb reason when I put the Duramax engine in my 2024, it took out my bedliner. I have the 120v and the led bed lights. In the end I’m glad I didn’t get the factory, because I found out the factory has the tailgate plastic piece on it. I’ll be scrapping that and getting the bed and tailgate line-x coated.
6 in 1...half dozen in the other. The biggest variable here is some assclown applying it incorrectly or overspray or who knows what. I'd never take delivery of a new rig without a factory bedliner. But I'd go line-x for sure on a used truck that had no bedliner. Just be done with it from the factory.
@@Walrus50 I hear ya. Thanks for the constructive criticism. Edit: just saw the raptor liner recommendation it kind of blended in with the text. Good to know.
I have a 2016 Ford F150 that has bed lights. I got the dealer to throw in spray in Bed liner and a divider. They had it scheduled for me to take it to Steve vans locally that does line X. They did a great job putting it on. It’s still in good shape. Have had pallets loaded in my truck. It cost me nothing and would have it done on any future trucks
Kevin, you are comparing apples to oranges, there is a quality difference, Line-X takes this trophy, Take a lesson from your Dad. buy your truck and take it to Line-X.
Line-x owns the OEM liner company its called UL Ultimate Linings. The OEM bed liner I found is better then the Line-x the difference and all that matters in most liners is how think the liner is sprayed. The OEM liners are sprayed by a robot in Michigan and tend to be sprayed thin when sprayed at minimum of 6 passes will out do regular line-x . I have professionally sprayed both for over 20 years.
GM liner comes with longer warranty from factory. I noticed anything i put in my bed will get scratched by the spray in liner its like 20 grit sandpaper
I work at at a gm bodyshop and I would get a linex or other brand. when we have to put on a complete boxside we have no way of matching the factory bed liner. gm does not offer a product for all I know. something to consider
Ive had both and like the line-x a lot more. More rugged and they also spray between the bed and tailgate. Looks like its the reverse scenario in your video. factory did between bed and tailgate and not the line-x. Thats weird!
at most LINE-X franchises you do have to ask for it to be sprayed down the back, or what is called a contractor cut. Most customers do not like the "reveal" of the product from the back.
I’m restoring a 1995 F-150 and will be doing the LineX bedliner on it. I’m so excited!

@@wolfbedliners6704 I think you just replied to my comment saying the same thing I said.
@@cdinnetz Yeah, when Wolf says "This guy", is he talking about Kevin or Corrie?
Getting my line x done tomorrow on my 2020 trail boss lt.
Which level of liner did you get (the least expensive,, medium or best grade) and how much did it cost ya?? Like it or hate it??
I got the best grade, so far so good.I like it so far.

Thanks. Getting Line X.
Im ordering a gmc sierra

Its twice as thick as most others. I can buy a diy kit with extra spray that can get close for about $250 but requires 10 hours of labor
Probably just gonna go with line x completely based on the fact that it’s cheaper
the outlet is part of convenience 2 package. and the tailgate just has a plastic bolt on liner
Yes, for some dumb reason when I put the Duramax engine in my 2024, it took out my bedliner. I have the 120v and the led bed lights.
In the end I’m glad I didn’t get the factory, because I found out the factory has the tailgate plastic piece on it. I’ll be scrapping that and getting the bed and tailgate line-x coated.
Enjoyed the video, Thanks
I have lights and power plug and no liner
Good info. Thanks
Line x looks far better than anything I've seen out there including factory
Hey I like it but don’t think it’s 1/4” thick. Maybe 1/8”.
6 in 1...half dozen in the other. The biggest variable here is some assclown applying it incorrectly or overspray or who knows what. I'd never take delivery of a new rig without a factory bedliner. But I'd go line-x for sure on a used truck that had no bedliner. Just be done with it from the factory.
What is the next best thing when compared to line-x?
Rhino linning
@@Dreambig62 thanks for the suggestion!

Who did the line X spray for you? I need my Trail Boss bed spray. Thought about using Joe cruise In Spartanburg
There is a Line-X dealer here in Spartanburg. They spray beds and sale truck accessories
Where's it's located?
232 E Blackstock Rd. Right below the Dorman Center going toward Riedville Rd.
Love my 2020 Trail Boss, no problems with anything yet. Rides great and smooth. No noise out of it. Plenty take off power.
@@KevinsAutoChannel I think I know where's that at. Thanks Kevin.
GM liner comes with longer warranty from factory. I noticed anything i put in my bed will get scratched by the spray in liner its like 20 grit sandpaper
GM is 3 months/36K, LINE-X is lifetime.
@@daveyanke8307 yeah but what is in the fine print makes the life time warranty useless
@@michaellevel3770 really? Do tell, what is in fine print that makes it useless?
I work at at a gm bodyshop and I would get a linex or other brand. when we have to put on a complete boxside we have no way of matching the factory bed liner. gm does not offer a product for all I know. something to consider
Factory bedliners don’t give lifetime warranty
Trying to talk Kevin into getting a 5.0😂
I want one soooo bad
He’s had one before but that would be awesome it would get him more subscribers, views, likes, and comments tbh
@@darkx1262 wait how did you know that😂
@@KevinsAutoChannel hey that dude had a point though

I guess it depends on who is spraying it. Overall I am happy with both so far.
at most LINE-X franchises you do have to ask for it to be sprayed down the back, or what is called a contractor cut. Most customers do not like the "reveal" of the product from the back.
The truck I ordered only has a 4.5 foot bed. I hope it doesn't cost me $500 lol
Line x is expensive for Silverado 2006 short bed $800 .. location illinois
That may have been with Premium and maybe over the rails.
God damn can somebody tell me the intro song name? Pls, thx.
No matter what truck you get, have the bed sprayed with protective rubber.
Protective rubber?
Lol, I love my bed lights
Gm factory Bedliner is $545
Ok so they are about the same price. I have heard that the Line-X is more durable in the end. Guess I’ll find out lol
the factory bed liner is warranty for 5 years, the Line-X is a life time Warranty so you payed 400 more for lights
“At least 1/4 inch thick”. I don’t think so.
Says “2019 Chevy Silverado” boi it’s a 2015 Chevy Silverado
They are both 2019’s
You did not address chemical composition. Factory is superior
Gotta make some diet man, This is too much
