    Enough is Enough paint scratches on the inside of my tailgate!

    Well, it's obvious that the paint on the 3rd gen's is thin and scratches easy. Weather Tech saw an opportunity to help the situation with an entire bed liner or just a tailgate cover. I know the replies will come in saying you can get a "sprayed in liner" but this is $80 shipped to my door and looks like a spray in liner covering. It's not for everyone but it's for me.

    Funny to see this here, I was just looking at this mat this morning. How does it react when dragging stuff out? Does it want to roll or bunch at all? I saw on the install video that it has stick on velcro for the bottom part.

    My boss had mentioned a weathertech when he was scoping out a liner for his new f150 (hes a furrd feller). He ended up going with this company after checking out google:
    https://www.dualliner.com

    Sadly, they do not make one for our trucks.
