Trucks are used for many different reasons; most of these reasons involve the use of the trucks bed and box, and a bed liner. If you would take a brand new truck from the show room directly to the job site, there would be a significant amount of damage possible from everyday items that you would likely carry in the back of your truck. The solution to this problem is easily avoided by installing a bed liner. That seems pretty logical right?
Wrong.
This is where it gets very complicated, most types of bed liner actually cause harm to the truck.
I have owned several different types of bed liners in the past. Spray on bed liners are very popular, but after learning about the installation process most people would agree that taking grinder to the paint of a brand new truck seems crazy. Another turn off for me was the fact that the Spray On material did not provide much in the way of dent protection or scratch protection. Another type of bed liner I have owned is called the Drop In bed liner. These are the great big one piece plastic tubs that you just “Drop” right in the back of your truck. A couple of items come to mind that were of major concern to me; first, that the bed liner was universal fit, and second that there were large areas inaccessible and un useable.
Since the Drop In bed liner fit many different kinds of trucks there is a lot of room for the bed liner to shift or slide around and there is lots of room for dirt, sand, and debris to accumulate.
The combination of sand and a shifting bed liner can be catastrophic to your trucks finish. It does not take long and your trucks paint protection is totally worn off leaving your trucks sheet metal totally exposed under the liner, when moisture is added to the mix, you will almost instantly get rust.
Both of the previously mentioned bed liner types have what appear to me as major flaws. A bed liner should protect your trucks finish, not destroy it. A bed liner should provide significant amounts of dent protection, not just another layer of paint. A bed liner should also help to protect your cargo from sliding around and becoming damaged, not act like a skating rink propelling your cargo into the sidewalls of your trucks box.
These attributes are exactly what Dual Liner Bed Liner Systems set out to achieve, and eventually did accomplish.
By making the exact fit panels conform to the precise contour of each specific year, make and model Dual liner was able to avoid any damage from occurring to the trucks finish from shifting or movement. These panels are made of thick polyethylene and they provide much greater dent protection than the other types. Each of the side walls have a channel built in to them, this channel is what holds the Zero Skid Bed Mat in place. The Zero Skid Bed Mat is one of the thickest bed mats available and on the under side there are hundreds of soft rubber cleats. These cleats keep the bed mat from lying directly on the trucks finish and this allows water to drain out of the factory designed drain holes. Dual Liner utilizes the best materials in the appropriate area to provide the maximum protection without hurting the truck at all. The Dual Liner will protect your truck bed from damage for years to come, if you install it when the truck is brand new, then years down the road when you take it out, your trucks bed will still be like brand new.
I have owned many different trucks and many different bed liner. That is why I can say “Dual Liner Is The Only Bed Liner That Works!”
