Traded my 2008 Z71 in on a new 2014 Z71 :)

I would venture to say yes. Yes it's mainly to prevent scratches and gouging, but it does offer some perfection against dents etc. Can you still dent the bed with rhino lining? Yes. Is it harder to do so with rhino lining? Yes. I mean if you think about it, in my case, I have 1/4" of hard plastic on the floor of the bed that absorbs a good bit of the force associated with an object slamming into the floor. On my 2008 I never had one dent in the floor. Whether it not that was due to the lining or luck, idk. I do know that it was money well spent in my case(hauling oilfield equipment etc) and I didn't think twice about having it done to this truck.

Nice, real nice silver with the tint. Dang the La tint laws are tough. More restrictive than Tex.

Yea, they kinda go overboard with it. I've honestly never had a problem with the authorities though (as far as a truck is concerned). My mustang gets all sorts of looks though. But then again it's loud as hell and they basically profile you when they see it.
