Lots of comments here about spray-on headliners. A spray-on bedliner can protect from scratches/gouges and potential corrosion, but I don't see where it is going to make much, if any difference in the conditions symbolized by the video....you are talking about some real impacts there.

Who abuses their truck bed in this manner to warrant such a price tag

Remember the Lincoln Blackwood? Beautiful, but it had to be the most ridiculous material I have ever seen for a truck bed....polished rare African woods. Even Lincoln seemed to agree...they only built 1000 of them and quit. I only ever saw one on the road.

A bed-liner would absolutely help to protect against perforations of the truck bed.

Aganist perforations caused by corrosion maybe, but I don't see how it would help much under the conditions (and impacts) in the video. You'd need almost battleship-armor for that LOL.

No, it will help protect against those sorts of perforations also.

I think the factory spray-on is superior to a bed liner. Looks better too.

Spray on bedliners are what we're talking about.

Great commercial. You're hooked for the whole ad. We are entertained and love things getting blown and smashed up.

this carbonpro though is not a spray on bedliner i don't think... it's a carbon fiber shell installed in the truck bed? That's going to be way, way WAY tougher than ANY spray on bed liner. I also think it's way, way, WAY overkill for 99.9999% of truck owners.
