"Seems like the fault of whomever loaded the bed to not secure the load, IMO." Fair point. The platform wasn't secured. Thing is, I've been carrying stuff like that for years. Doesn't mean it was smart , but the previous truck had Linex which wasn't as slippery so I got away with it for 12 years. I'll be getting a bed mat since I had some dewalt toughsystem in the box this week and they were moving around like they were on ice.

I know this is an old thread but if someone should find this thread. Check out my related thread November 2024:

Hi. My previous truck was a 2011 GMC Sierra which I had the bed sprayed a at linex shop in 2012. The linex bedliner never chipped or cracked. I've had gravel in there and stuff sliding around, banging against the side for 12 years. Never an issue. The truck was rusted out and the transmission was done but linex was still good to go. Fast forward 12 years. I just purchased a 2024 Silverado with the bed already factory sprayed. I would have preferred to get it linex sprayed but employee pricing was one, and it was available. Sun, Sep 8 2024 I bought a Gorilla Ladders PRO Slim-Fold 55-inch x 14-inch Adjustable Height Aluminum Work Platform. I keep it in the back of the truck. Flat aluminium top, which I had on the bottom, and plastic feet. It never occurred to me that I should be worrying about plastic... Less than a month later, today, Nov 3rd, I was emptying out the truck and this is what I found (see pictures). I sprayed some fluid film on the exposed area until I can get it in to the garage for warranty repair. I live where the roads are salted all winter so hopefully this doesn't reoccur at some point and cause more issues when it was supposed to prevent them. If you are ordering a truck, DO NOT the bed factory sprayed. Have it done by a shop that does linex or similar quality product. It can't take plastic sliding over it for less than a month. That work platform wasn't in there for the full month either, although I can't remember how long it wasn't there.
