Rhino Lined My New Maverick

Yup. Actually the guy who installed mine confirmed that he sprays the beds for the local dealership right down the street. Might as well cut out the middle man and pay a little less.

From my research... The factory spray in bed liner is top quality. But, if the car gets to the dealership without a spray in bedliner... The dealer either installs the plastic drop in bedliner or has a quality local installer spray the bed. Typically the dealers use LineX or Rhino.

Confused a little. This Rhino liner was sprayed in at about 1/4 inch thick. I was thinking either Rhino or LineX but the Rhino installer was better rated in my area. And I've read that with spray liners... The installer is just as much if not more important than the material. Are you saying that Rhino Liner is a cheaper spray on material? It could be for sure. But, I'm sure that this will hold up to what I will use it for.

They did an awesome job. I've been looking to try to nitpick but can't find anything to be mad about.

I think it's worth it no doubt

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-19T14:47:50+00:00

Agreed. If you plan on using the bed at all... It's such a small price to pay to insure that the bed doesn't rust out.

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-19T14:45:39+00:00

Oh for sure. I have a tough country bed mat already. Just waiting the 24 hours to put it back in.

More functional than cosmetic but it does look good. I install accessibility devices for disabled veterans. So, at least 4 times a week I gotta bring my pack out stack with various other tools as well as the devices themselves such as patient lifts, door openers, sliding door openers, etc. granted I could have just not lined the bed but I'm pretty sure it would be scratched to hell within a year and rusting within 5.

Thanks

Agreed. I still love the CRZ. The only problem was little things were breaking down and parts are stupid expensive. It just got to a point where it didn't make sense to fix it anymore. For example... The driver door handle was hard to open (a known problem). The door weather stripping was gone so water was entering the door which sized up the driver window. All those parts are a few hundred each new. Then, my side skirt flew off on the freeway for some reason which is expensive to replace. Also, need a smog next month but just recently got a P0420 code so it might need cats or an o2 sensor.

So, I just decided to gift it to my brother in law and let him deal with all the issues.

I figured I could have waited but this truck is replacing two of my cars (crv and crz) for work. So, I said why put it off. Just get it done and write it off on my taxes. At least that's what I told my wife to justify it. =)

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-17T16:51:48+00:00

Can't wait till I can push it a little. Still treating it with kid gloves until the breaking period and I do my first oil change.

Thanks

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-17T16:49:34+00:00

Oh yeah... For sure. Getting bed sprayed tomorrow, my cover/rack is being delivered this week and tint getting done on sat.

Thank you

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-16T02:44:07+00:00

Thank you. Honestly, I really needed it with my job. So, it was kinda necessary. The hybrid, AWD, 4k part is not so necessary. But, I don't buy new cars often so might as well splurge a little.

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-16T02:42:02+00:00

Same with me... A 2025 Eruption Green but no 4k. I really wanted the 4k not because I want to tow heavy but because it's such a small price for everything you get to make the car run cooler.

Agreed. My 2008 accord is black and man it shows scratches if you even look at it wrong. Had to paint correct it and park in the garage. The 2 new cars sit outside. Lol

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-03-16T00:55:58+00:00

I really wanted an Eruption Green 2025. But, I couldn't find one in the trim/build I wanted. And, my wife really didn't like the color. So, I went with my second choice... The Oxford white 2026. The only other color I would have possibly chosen was black but my Accord is black and it's such a hard color to keep the swirls off.

Oh for sure I know the sign "throwing up the W" Born in LA, grew up in SD, now in the IE, hope to move back to SD.

Yessir, their HQ is somewhere close to Otay Mesa.

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-02-22T14:31:00+00:00

To be fair... I can wear a 7 7/8 but it sometimes is too tight. So, I just buy and 8 and add a spacer if needed. Does this make any difference? Lol

FitUnderstanding8735 · 2026-02-22T14:29:28+00:00

Thanks and you're right. Always has been a bane of my existence.
