I'm not willing to pay $300 for a fancy liner or expensive spray-in by
a professional. What other options does a cheapa&H&H&H&H&H&Hfrugal
guy like me have?

i used SEM tintable spray on urethane bed liner. sprayed on with a schutz
gun. it's ok, i like it, but i think a slippery liner is better. this one
is a kinda rubbery urethane non-slip liner. after using is for a while i
came to think a HARD slippery coating would probably be better than a
rubbery non-slip coating. (so you can push two pallet loads into the bed,
and pull them back out. once i put a pallet in back and there was a nail
sticking out of the pallet, it slashed the rubbery liner, i wondered if
there was a HARD slippery liner if the nail woulda just skidded across the
surface w/o cutting it.) i think it was about $150 for the kit. you can
get a pint of color matched paint and mix it in to match the color of your
truck, so you don't have to settle for black if you don't want to.

Thinking more deeply about it, I prefer a slippery bed, too, but not
for pallet loads. I have a LoadHandler and would need to buy a $70
slippery bed mat for that if I used it with a rubbery bed liner.
Hmmm, the plot thickens...

I was happy with a plastic drop-in before, and probably will be again.
