Not yet.
My current truck has a plastic liner.
It's good and bad- it's a pain when loading motorcycles
since they and the ramp slide all over.
Your stuff slides too, so you have to tie it down better.
The liner will flutter a little in the wind
when you're at speed. I can hear it when I drive on freeways
with the rear window open.
My liner is cracking around the edges. YMMV.
OTOH, the plastic liner is great for picking up tractor implements- I
get them dropped in to the back of the truck and then I
can unload them by sliding them out of the truck onto
a conveinent raised area in front of the house (my
impromptu loading dock).
It's also good when you're taking a load of scrap and
concrete chunks to the dump.
The plastic liner spreads loads better than a liner would, so
you can just drop stuf in the bed and not worry about denting anything.
