When it comes to the bed of your truck, it can handle pretty much whatever you throw at it. Pretty much being the operative phrase.
Eventually, wear and tear will take its toll. Set up your ride with some quality protection by installing a drop-in bed liner — one that’s designed to withstand the rigors of Mother Nature, heavy-duty use, and everything in between.
Not all bed liners are created equal though, so when it comes time to choose one, make sure to do your research. The right bed liner can increase your vehicle’s lifespan, bump up its resale value, and even protect against unexpected end-of-contract charges for excessive damage and wear on lease programs. The wrong bed liner can leave your truck vulnerable to dents, scratches, and rust, ultimately diminishing its appearance and value.
To help ensure you end up with quality, well-fitting protection for your truck bed, we’ve rounded up five reasons why DuraLiner is a superior drop-in bed liner. Let’s unpack the benefits of choosing it as your next truck upgrade.
1. Built for the Dirty Jobs
DuraLiner drop-in bed liners are made of expertly-engineered high-density polyethylene (HDPE) so they can stand up to the toughest jobs in the most punishing conditions.
Durable and 100% recyclable UV-protected material not only stands up to gasoline, oils and most chemicals, but also retains its deep, rich finish throughout its life. DuraLiner drop-in bed liners are truly sustainable too, as they’re made from reclaimed material and are fully recyclable.
Good coverage is important in a bed liner, especially if you regularly haul messy cargo. DuraLiner bed liners cover the truck bed as well as the sidewalls, bulkhead, and tailgate, so you get full surrounding protection.
And since all work and no play makes for a very dull truck, DuraLiner bed liners also feature molded-in board holders for stacking and maximizing cargo space, and convenient tailgate cupholders offer a little extra utility when hanging out before the big game.
2. Exceptionally Easy to Clean
From conquering rugged job sites to tackling household projects and hauling heavy loads, our trucks see it all. That’s why they’re built to get dirty. It’s also why the smooth surface of DuraLiner drop-in bed liners are super easy clean.
Simply sweep out any dirt or debris in your truck bed and then rinse off the liner. (Use a rigid brush and mild soap if you need to tackle any stubborn stains or road grime.) The ribbed surface keeps the rinse water from pooling and ensures it always drains away from the bed.
3. Premium Skid Resistance
The same ridged surface that facilitates drainage also helps reduce cargo shift – providing up to 2x the skid resistance of other drop-in or spray-on bed liners. Less moving and rolling items means less dents and scrapes, and an overall better-looking truck bed.
Non-slip protection is important for you as well, ensuring that any job requiring you to stand in the truck bed doesn’t end up with you laid out in the truck bed.
4. Superior Shock Protection
In the event that your cargo does end up shifting – like on a sharp turn or during a hard-braking scenario – the strong but flexible HDPE material of a DuraLiner bed liner helps ensure the impact doesn’t result in your truck bed looking bruised and beaten.
Additionally, DuraLiner uses advanced thermoforming solutions, fortifying its bed liners with shock absorption capabilities that are 7x better than any spray-on bed liner available on the market. This feature is not only great for those one-off impacts but also the damage that can be caused by road vibrations. (Just think what kind of dings and nicks would be left in an unprotected truck bed hauling gravel to and from the job site every day.)
5. DIY-Friendly Installation
In theory, all drop-in bed liners are easy to install. In reality, some “drop” into the truck bed while others must be wrangled. DuraLiner ensures its bed liners sit squarely in the first camp.
The company makes model-specific bed liners, meaning you can get a custom fit without a custom installation. DuraLiner design engineers work in CAD to design solutions that perfectly fit each make and model of truck, allowing for a simple, drill-free installation and professional-looking final result.
Easy to install also means easy to remove, so if you change your mind or sell the truck, neither you nor the new owner is beholden to a lifetime of bed liner. (Though, they should consider it!)
