Penda Drop-In Bedliners Keep Your Truck Looking Sharp & Hauling Smart

Whether you operate a fleet of work trucks or rely on the durability of one daily driver, you know the value of a quality bedliner. Minimizing cargo sliding and protecting the truck bed, a good bedliner also improves the appearance of your ride. And thanks to advancements in thermoforming plastics, such an upgrade will last a long time—without breaking the bank. Penda drop-in bedliners take truck bed protection one step further, offering twice the skid-resistance of the competition, an idiot-proof installation, and a host of innovative features.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

Look, we hate to be the ones to tell you this but—not all plastic bedliners are created equal. (Shocking, I know.) So, if you want the best product, it stands to reason you should consult one of the best manufacturers, right? Well, how about the largest heavy-gauge thermoformer in all of North America? That’s Penda. More specifically, it’s Penda and TriEnda Holdings—the major plastics manufacturer who recently acquired the Wisconsin-based company to create a veritable juggernaut in engineering modern plastics.

So, what’s the big deal with thermoplastics?

Before we delve into the specific features that make Penda drop-in bedliners a smart investment, let’s unpack thermoplastics a bit. It’s likely a word you’ve encountered many times, especially since it’s so prevalent in the automotive industry. But what makes thermoplastics so great?

Well, first it’s worth noting that “thermoplastics” is a bit of a catch-all term. Without getting into a science lesson here, a thermoplastic is essentially a plastic polymer material—of which there exist many—that can be melted and recast over and over again. A few thermoplastics you’re likely familiar with are: polypropylene (found in a lot of automotive and industrial parts), polyethylene (think: garbage cans and cutting boards), and polystyrene (often used in food packaging, toys, and old school videocassettes).

So, why are these polymers so useful? As mentioned above, thermoplastics can be melted and cast into an object, which can then be melted and cast into another object, which can then be—you get the gist. They’re super-duper recyclable. This makes them not only more environmentally-friendly, but also more cost-effective. Just think of all the material waste that can be reused during manufacturing, or prototypes that can be repurposed.

In addition to their reusable nature, thermoplastics are also very strong, while remaining flexible. This makes them great for high-impact applications. (Like when you need to dump a few hundred pounds of gravel into the bed of your pickup truck.) And while they won’t hold up as well to sustained high temperatures, they are resistant to chemicals. (That means you can spill a variety of nasty things on Penda drop-in bedliners without fear of stain or corrosion.)

World-Class Thermoformer + Revolutionary Material = Superior Bed Protection

So, what happens when top-notch thermoforming engineers get their hands on a high-quality polymer blend? Superior bed protection that’s sure to last, that’s what.

Available in two styles—the Pendaliner and the Duraliner — Penda drop-in bedliners add versatile protection and styling upgrades to your truck bed.

Pendaliner

Offering up to twice the skid resistance of other drop-in or spray on bedliners, the Pendaliner’s rubber-like construction and glossy, UV-resistant surface keeps cargo in place and your truck looking new. A ribbed design guards against dents and scrapes, while also allowing water to drain away from the bed.

Clever features like molded-in board holders and cupholders add utility, while that thermoformed plastic structure repels chemicals like gasoline, oil, or cheap beer at tailgating functions. A custom fit with no-drill installation means you can have the whole thing set up in minutes. And a Made-in-the-USA stamp of approval guarantees you’ll have it for years to come.

Duraliner

There are few differences between the Pendaliner and Duraliner, save for the logo, but some customers claim they get better skid resistance and standing traction in the Duraliner, thanks to a rougher finish. Regardless, you can expect the same UV and weather protection, chemical resistance, high-rib design, and easy installation. Additionally, both bedliners come with Penda’s Limited Lifetime No Hassle Warranty.

Whether you’re looking to hide an unsightly truck bed or prevent one from happening, Penda drop-in bedliners can keep your ride looking sharp and hauling smart.
