If there is not a load on a plastic bed liner it will rub and vibrate while you are running down the road. This rubbing will wear off paint and even wear down metal. My son inherited my father's 2000 Tundra when Dad passed. It was the first year, extended cab, 4x4, with a V8, a high school boy's dream ride. It had 80k on the clock and was 7 years old with crap tires on it. I put some oversized Goodyear Wrangler off road tires and opened up the exhaust with a catback system. We pulled the plastic liner and the bare rubbed metal also had rust. We tossed the liner and cleaned up the surface rust and did the do-it-yourself spray in bed liner. The Tundra was a POS - It had a car engine as a power plant and didn't develop any power until it hit 3000 rpm. Bad gas mileage and a slug in traffic. It struggled to pull a trailer and if it had a load in the bed it struggled with that also (it had a 4:71 gear?). Sorry for the rant, I really didn't like the Toyota. BTW: The starter is under the intake manifold - WTF? A quality spray in is best. I like the rubber mats and a tonneau. I have the rubber mat but every few days I end up hauling something on the ladder rack or in the bed.
