prefers a “spray-in bedliner better than a drop-in one because it protects the bed from rust better; doesn’t allow dirt, water, or debris to collect under it; and it offers better traction if you're standing in the bed when putting things in it or cleaning it out.” A typical Chevy bedliner goes for around $495 while a DIY approach could set you back $200 before installation.
