Truck Bed Carpet Liner - Protects Cargo and Paint Too!

Why choose a truck bed carpet liner. Some kind of protection is almost a must if you're actually going to use your pickup for hauling. There are so many different bed liner options, where will a carpet liner work best? Following are several questions that address common concerns...

Will a carpet liner handle wet weather?
The best carpet liners are actually plastic. The material is marine grade carpet, so it's made to handle lots of water. It's even mildew resistant so it can stand up to lots of water and outdoor exposure.

Can I slide cargo with a liner?
Many liners, especially plastic bed liners, are slick. Cargo can easily shift and slide. A carpet liner is a non-skid surface so your cargo tends to stay put. That doesn't mean you can't slide anything on the liner. It just means it's not slick and slippery.

Where can I get the liner installed?
There are dealers that install liners. In fact, many new truck dealers install liners. Carpet liners are designed to be easy to install though. That way most anyone can install the liner right at home. It's designed that way.

What about hauling rougher cargo, like concrete blocks?
These are tough, plastic liners that can handle most abuse. Of course, hauling rough cargo will damage the liner over time. That's the same with even the most expensive spray on liner. But carpet liners are meant to work. They are not just for looks.

Is it easy to clean?
Since it's marine carpet, you can clean it with common cleaners. Use a pressure washer on the liner. It can take tough cleaning too.

How much does this thing cost?
The Bedrug liner is a leading brand. This custom fit cover costs about half what a professional spray on liner will cost. So this is not the cheapest way to get a bed liner, but it's close to the cheapest and it has all these advantages too.

A truck bed carpet liner is a custom fit cover for your pickup bed. This is an easy way to protect the bed and your cargo too. The price is right if you pick the right liner and the right supplier.
