You can argue that the most important part of a pickup is its cab or its running gearand certainly you aren’t going anywhere without thosebut what makes a pickup a pickup is its bed. Whether a truck sees heavy-duty hauling or is simply a daily driver, there’s not one out there that can’t benefit from some protection for its bed.

Skis, lumber, luggage or roses for the garden can take their toll on the paint in a pickup’s bed. Cargo causes scratches and dings, dents and scrapes, and trucks from the latest and greatest to Ol’ Reliable can benefit from having that damage covered up or prevented outright.

Restylers can find that protection in all configurations, including drop-in and spray-on liners, as well as carpets and mats. If your shop caters to the truck crowd or would like to, bedliners are a valuable product to offer.

On the next few pages, you’ll find what’s new and what’s hot in pickup bed protection.
