I will never put a slide in bed liner in my bed. Spray on is the only way to go imo.

It wouldnt fix it but it sure would hide it.Im thinking that would be a good thing to do when its time to trade in or sell.

I have no liner in the bed of my Ranger. She shows lots of signs of wear from hauling enough rocks to build a stone fence, junk to haul to the scrap dealer, and many cords of firewood. Not s significant amount of rust, however.
This might owe to it's being unintentionally 'seasoned' a few years back. At an estate sale, all the antiquers were looking about for Shaker baskets and chippendale furniture. I made a bee line to the cellar, saw a pair of 275 gal. oil tanks 80% full. Good deal for $150. Had to vacuum siphon the stuff out into 5 gallon buckets to transport them into 55 gal drums on my truck.
No. 2 heating oil isn't very tasty. But the little bit of overspillage sure does keep the rust down.

The way I see it is, it's a truck. I got it to haul crap. I have a rubber mat and that's it. Someday if I ever want to make it look nice again I will have a spray in liner put in. But by then the rest of it will be a worn out scratched up pos and I won't care about the inside of the bed.

I will never forget my first new truck, a Chevy WT 2WD. It came with a bed liner. They "Armoral" (not sure of the spelling) the liner. Just like ice. I sold the liner. The next year baby two was on the way and so was the truck... I moved up to a used Suburban 2WD...

I skip spending money or either a drop in or spray liner...yeah it was a $40 k truck new 6 years but its a TRUCK. Dent free on the outside, interior near perfect, but dented and scraped to hell in the bed, some peoples jaw drop when they see my bed I dont care that what its for.....this aint no 400 hp grocery getter its for hauling trailers, wood and anything else it can legally pull.

I'm just a little on the opportunistic side.
If I hadn't bought the oil, the estate would have been $150 the poorer. Win-win.
And I'm flexible. My original offer was $100.

One time I was at the in-laws. Put my coffee down and misplaced it. Looked and looked. Gave up.
Imagine my surprise finding it on my rear bumper after a 9 mile drive back home. By that point, it was cold. But after all it'd been through, I reckoned the coffee deserved to be drunk down to the bottom of the cup.

I use 1/2 cdx plywood - the real stuff
Easy to shovel off of and keeps the bed of my Superduty from "forming" to the frame.
Oh yeah, 25 bucks takes me all the way, had the same sheet for 5+ years.
I may be slow but I'm expensive!

We use plywood like that at work. Easy to shovel cold patch or gravel with a flat shovel.

The rubber bed mat is the best thing going for me I also use the sheet of Plywood thing too. Bed mats give you good traction when pulling a big deer into the back and are Deer do get big! Or two guy's pulling a Elk/Moose from the head and two on the rear lifting and pushing you can get 800lbs of dead wight in the back with no slipping or twisted knee'sBest 35 bucks I ever spent. I've left coffee cups on the back of my truck
and was still there when we got to the job. No need for a tailgate, nothing moves.

I'm happy however, to own a truck built by a non bankrupt company,
thats not sponging out of my pocket. Have fun jeeping while there are still a few dealers left.

Fortunately, I was able to back the truck right up to the bulkhead. There was a gentle grade from the outside to floor level.
Though part was climbing up on the tailgate after houghing the bucket onto the bed. Not a lot spilled. But enough to make things slippery - and interesting.
That was a couple years ago. Haven't had a score that good since. Gotta keep persistnent.
