How FORD make profit

I understand that 2017 SD don't come anymore with wheel well liner .If you want them you got to pay $ 136 per pair.That a rip off for sure $ 80000 truck and FORD CAN INSTALL INTO THE COST.

How many options do you have to select to get an 80k truck? Should all those options be standard also?

Rear wheel well liners were never standard. This is not new for 2017.

You should learn English and math. You'd still be a troll but you'd come across as less ignorant.

The dealer likely installed them before you bought the truck. They were NOT standard... at least not standard on any other 11-16 that I've ever seen or read about. Even Platinum's don't have them.

Easy there fella, personal attacks aren't called for...do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this person doesn't suffer from some impediment? I have several deaf family members that also suffer written challenges. Hearing and repeating are vital when writing. Please, all...take the high road and assume positive intent. He's been around a long while...and is not a troll.

Turns out mine were included in the Platinum trim. Maybe KR and up?

No it wasn't. The rear was an added option. Dealers have to click to add it separately, or install it at the dealer level. No trim level ever had rear wheel well liners standard.

Well, there are thousands of oxford white F350 6.7's running around in the oil patch.
None of them have rear wheel liners, nor are they needed for trucks that see this kind of use.
So the dealers should remove them?

I have them on my Platinum and didn't specifically order them. And no way my dealer just threw them in. My MSRP was $78 something.

I have worked molding thermoplastics, its NOT cheap by any means, the mold making alone can be very costly. Just saying, its not like Ford can make liners for $1 there is some upfront costs and as molded parts go the liners are pretty large.

I had to request them to be added, they were an option on the order form.

Same here....for 2017 mine were included with the Platinum. It was not an option I checked. Maybe for other trim levels....I only had a few options checked and the rear liners were not one of them.

Optional on lower trims, standard on KR and Platinum. Also, for future reference use Ford SD brochure as the rear pages list every single option although there may be mistakes. I tried to attach it here but the file is too big.
