Truck owners understand the importance of protecting their valuable investments. When it comes to preserving the condition and extending the lifespan of commercial vehicles, OKUSLIDE® plastic truck bed liners offer a superior solution. We’ll explore how OKUSLIDE® bed liners contribute to the enhanced resale value of trucks, focusing on their exceptional abrasion wear resistance and longevity over traditional aluminium truck bodies.

How Do Truck Bed Liners Affect Resale Value?

What’s the added resale value when you invest in a bed liner for your truck? Auto dealers rely on the NADA guide to assess trade-in values, and it suggests that bed liners can contribute between $50 and $400 to a vehicle’s overall worth.

For instance, equipping a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD with a bed liner increases its value by $100. Similarly, a 2019 Ford F150 Supercab XLT 4WD with a liner sees a $100 bump in worth. However, expecting a full $400 increase in resale value might be overly optimistic. Other reputable sources, like Edmunds.com and KBB.com, estimate a more modest range of $100-$200 in added resale value.

So, why aren’t bed liner resale values more substantial? The answer lies in the fact that approximately 80% of truck bed liners are of the spray-in variety, which tends to have low resale values for a few compelling reasons:

1. Installation Issues: Spray-in bed liners often face difficulties during installation, resulting in cracks, bubbles, and liner peeling due to improper preparation.

1. Fade and Sun Damage: These bed liners are susceptible to fading and sun damage, causing them to lose their appeal and protective properties.

1. Limited Dent Protection: Spray-in bed liners provide minimal protection against dents, failing to shield your truck bed from potential harm.

Given these challenges, it’s no surprise that the resale value of bed liners remains relatively low. After all, would you be willing to pay more than $50 or $100 for a truck bed showing signs of dents and a faded coating?

How OKUSLIDE® Plastic Bed Liners can improve the Resale Value?

In contrast to the issues that commonly plague spray-in bed liners, OKUSLIDE® plastic bed liners offer a revolutionary solution that can significantly impact resale value. Here’s how:

Abrasion Wear Resistance: The Key to Enhanced Resale Value

Truck owners face the constant challenge of maintaining their vehicles’ condition in the face of heavy loads, weather conditions, and everyday wear and tear. OKUSLIDE® plastic truck bed liners act as an effective protective barrier against these challenges. Their remarkable abrasion wear resistance minimises the signs of wear and tear, helping to preserve the truck’s appearance and overall condition.

Longevity Beyond the Ordinary

The longevity of a truck significantly influences its resale value. OKUSLIDE® bed liners have been rigorously tested, demonstrating that they can last up to 15 times longer than traditional aluminium truck bodies. To set realistic expectations, we conservatively estimate a lifespan of 4 to 5 times longer than standard alternatives. This robust durability ensures that trucks equipped with OKUSLIDE® bed liners remain in excellent condition even after years of demanding use, making them highly appealing to potential buyers in the commercial resale market.

The Importance of Proper Installation

One crucial aspect that sets OKUSLIDE® bed liners apart is their installation method. It is essential to understand that the product should not be adhered to the truck body. Instead, it is designed to float freely. This allows it to expand and contract naturally with thermal changes, ensuring that the liner remains intact and damage-free. Adhering the liner to the truck body, as seen in some other products, can lead to its destruction and, consequently, the loss of its protective benefits.

While OKUSLIDE® plastic truck bed liners may not directly increase the initial value of your trucks, they undeniably enhance their resale value by preventing abrasion wear, extending their lifespan, and adapting to thermal fluctuations. These benefits make your commercial vehicles more attractive to potential buyers, ensuring you get the best possible return on your investment. Whether you’re using your truck for heavy-duty work or need a reliable solution for protecting its resale value, OKUSLIDE® bed liners offer a practical, long-lasting investment.
