    For anyone who has seen the new truck, how is the bed liner quality? My buddy has a 2014 with the factory bed liner and it wasn't nearly as nice as Line X premium. It looked very faded and worn out compared to my LineX which was tougher and deeper black.

    I can't speak for the new one, but statistically speaking, all manufacturers bedliner option is never sprayed as thick as Line-X. On top of that, I'm not aware of any manufacturer that sprays their factory bedliner with any UV protectants, like Line-X Premium does.

    So skip the factory liner and go for LineX?

    Yes. Most manufacturers spray over your bed bolts, so it's a bitch to remove them afterwards. Line-X has always taken the bolts out, sprayed, then reinstalls the bolts. Overall, Line-X is far superior in my opinion.

    After having line X on my 2010 and then going with the factory liner on the 2014 was definitely a disappointment. Factory liner looked faded off the bat and as stated above, they sprayed over the bed bolts and tie down hooks.

    Looking at this picture of a 2017, it appears they didn't spray over the bolts and hooks but the finish still looks dull to me.
