Aw crap, that didn't work the way it was supposed to. Click the link above,
and then select 04 Toyota Tundra D-Cab Rear View from the drop-down box,
then click View Image. That will get you to the photo I intended.

Now we're talking!
I see the 2006 Tundras have a lowering rear cab window. Forget if it's
rollup or power.

Well...I picked up the Ranger extended cab 'Sport' this morning, c/w 3.0
liter V6 and 5 speed OD automatic.
I took the snap on tonneau cover and the step up rails as my free
accessory choice. I had them install a box liner....
Salesman indicated I might be responsible for refinishing box at turn in
time if it got too banged/scratched up.

Should have gone with a spray-in liner. The only way to go. I've had
Line-X sprayed in my last two trucks and really like it. The stuff is
indestructible, and unlike a hard plastic drop-in liner won't promote rust
by removing paint in the box and trapping moisture under the liner. Also
will add traction to things placed in the bed, whereas the hard plastic
drop-in actually makes things worse than no liner in that department. And,
it act as a noise reducer rather than a noise producer. Not sure how a
spray-in liner would be looked at from the leasing company's perspective,
but I wouldn't think it would be a problem as the spray-in liners increase
trade-in values when appraising used vehicles at Kelley Blue Book or
Edmunds. Any chance you can reverse that choice at this early date?
Seriously, there's no comparison to the utility and functionality of a
spray-in liner versus a drop-in. I'd easily walk away from a free drop-in
liner and pay for a Line-X or equivalent spray-in. On a compact truck, the
cost of the spray-in shouldn't be that bad, especially when you amortize it
over the lease term.



Rhinoliner Rules!

Almost ten years on mine, and I love it! Cost about $400. Worth much more
than that. When I took the plastic dura-liner thing out, there was very
little paint left on the bed. In several spots the wear was clear thru the
primer with bare metal showing.

Now we do have a Rhinoliner dealership here...just across the harbour.
I called for a price quote, but had to leave a message. Must be closed
on Saturdays.

If you are going to cover your bed with a soft or hard tonneau or other
shell of some kind I strongly reccomend the BedRug. I've had one in my truck
for about 4 years now and it is great at protecting the bed and protecting
the contents in the bed.


I could have had that option free...as part of my $1k worth of
accessories promotion......but the sales guy convinced me it wasn't
worthwhile. Probably depends what you are loading into truck.

Power. Pusha da button and she's a go down.

I prefer the look of Line-X, but I'd opt for a Rhino over a drop-in eight
days a week.

Checked their website for dealers. Looks like they have none in the
Maritimes.

Road Trip!

It would cost me as much for gasoline as the liner.
Looks like Quebec has the closest dealer for that particular brand.
