    Anybody have any good tips on how to keep the bed liner looking like new. First truck I've owned with one and in the AZ sun it's gonna fade.

    Thanks.

    I've used that mother's back to black, it seems to do good, but it visually doesnt last more than a week or 2

    Get a tonneau cover. It'll protect your bed and it can be quite useful at times :cool:

    I've yet to see one faded :notsure: The material they use to make the bed is a bit better than a bed liner, I would say it has more UV protection in there.

    Yeah.....Like Whip said- That isn't a liner...It's the bed. And mine hasn't faded in the sun at all. It's got some scratches and stuff from the items I've put in it...but that's about it.

    Bed lined the rear bumper caps, LED lights in the interior, rear bed LEDs, red letter glove box inserts, center console coin box, set of Wildpeaks from my 2014 Tacoma that I traded in and removed the factory running boards.
    just wash it out man its a truck. The sun isnt going to kill it. If need be use a tire dressing or something. But remember if you need to get in the bed its going to be slippery.
