Those drop in liners cause rust problems by trapping debris between the liner and truck bed, you'll never know your bed has rusted till its too late, luckily I caught it in time in my 88 F250. A spray in bedliner yes, drop in heck no.One of the big reasons why I like a drop in liner. Easier to keep clean too. They also add rigidity to the floor of the truck.
Our 2019 Ranger has the factory applied "ToughBed" spray in liner. It, like all other spray in liners, is like 5 grit sandpaper. Being a guy that hauls finish grade lumber in his truck I really have to be careful not to slide the boards on the bedliner... it puts some nasty scratches on the boards.
A big deal? Not at all. A nuisance? Kind of. For sure a 1st world problem.
