How much weight does a LINE-X bedliner add

In today’s world of high gas prices a major concern is the amount of weight with their vehicle. The heavier the vehicle the more work the engine has to do the more fuel is consumed. This is something that truck owners know all too well but something that they cannot escape since the loads still need to be hauled. Many owners use a bedliner to protect their truck from the dinks, dents and scratches that can come from a day’s work (or play) and it is not uncommon for people to ask how much their bedliner from LINE-X of South Central Pennsylvania weighs.

How much does a LINE-X spray-on bedliner weigh

There is no set answer as it depends on the size of the bed. Generally the answer is somewhere between 40 pounds and 70 pounds. In the grand scheme of things that is not all that heavy and the protection that LINE-X offers is second to none. LINE-X weights around .7 pounds per square foot and it is sprayed to a thickness of ⅛ of an inch so it is not thick.

What else weighs 50 pounds?

Now think about what else weighs about 50 pounds. Bags of cement come in 50 pound bags. Those big bags of dog food, yep 50 pounds. Six gallons of water weighs about that much and that would go great with a cooler full of beverages and ice, which also weighs about 50 pounds. Do you have a bulldog? They can weigh about 50 pounds. $200 in quarters is about that weight and a 50 pound bag of beans will keep four people fed for an entire year. Also don’t forget that most airlines have a maximum check-in weight of 50 pounds.

Not much extra weight for your truck

Chances are between work and play you have one of the above objects in your truck so you are already driving around with it. In the grand scheme of things 50 pounds is not that much when it comes to the weight of a vehicle. That F-150 weighs around 5,000 pounds as does that Ram 1500. 50 pounds is not that much.
