After Market Commodities
Just curious how many have ordered their Super Duty with commodities that could be done after market. Particularly the spray in bed liners. But also Tonneau Covers, wheel well liners, etc.
it seems these items are constantly limited or exhausted, and holding up orders.
is it worth it to get a spray in bed liner from Ford even if it delays your build?

I have a Line-x from 2003 in my 2000 and it still looks great and that thing has been through hell and back. I went ahead and sprayed in my 2024 vs having one on the lot with it. I've heard the factory peels due to them not scratching up the surface for the liner but take that with a grain of salt, since I haven't seen it personally.
My liner cost a less than the Ford one and was a drop off and pick up in a day.

My dealer has told me to stay clear of truck bed covers and spray in liners. Too much of a risk of not getting scheduled for a build. And he was honest in saying commodities may end up being better with after market. Clearly his opinion, I don’t say this as factual.
I’ve done the best research I’m capable of and it seems the best path for most is to get after market commodities after the truck is built and delivered.
Realize some have gotten it done during the build, but seems for most it’s just a matter of timing and luck.

this 2024 is the 1st f series i have had since 2006 that didn't come from factory with the spray in liner
i am not even sure i will have it done
i use 3/4 inch thick stall mat
but commodities from the factory or their up fitters should by now not be a constraint on deliveries
unless it involves EGGS

I ordered my F-250 in the fall of 2023 during the strike (settled a week later). I ordered it with the factory spray-in liner, running boards, and wheel well liners, all available from the aftermarket. From order to delivery - 7 weeks. It's not likely those options added any time to the delivery - IDK and it didn't matter, I bought "exactly" the truck I wanted. Yes, I paid a little more for the factory accessories, but, I got a very favorable purchase price, a wash in my book. I have have had various aftermarket spray-in liners and IMO, the Ford liner is a good liner with a factory warranty. I installed an aftermarket hard bed cover and floor mats because I wanted specific branded products.

I was debating ordering my 2024 with the factory bed liner. After talking with the sales manager at the dealership he also recommended going with an aftermarket liner due to its lifetime warranty. He also noted that the Line-X liner was a little more rubbery to help prevent items from sliding around as much compared to the factory liner. It was virtually the same cost as the factory liner. I talked with a coworker that has a factory spray in liner on his F350. He confirmed that he has a lot of issues with items sliding around in the bed if not tied down. So with that being said I opted to go aftermarket. The Line-X liner only took about 3 hours to install, looks great, has a lifetime warranty, and keeps things from sliding around.
I did opt for the front and rear factory wheel well liners. My running boards came with the chrome package so I did not go aftermarket with those either.

So I just ordered one, and with the way they package things now, sometimes you can't help BUT to get certain options that are readily available aftermarket. For instance, I wanted the Black package - which REQUIRES the spray-in bedliner. I wanted the Tremor, which REQUIRES their off-road running boards. I have been told it SHOULD be sometime around April/May before I get delivery...which is okay. I'm not in a position where I NEED a truck right away, and WHEN it gets built it will be THE truck I want, not something I have to modify to get where I want it.
If you don't want to wait, and the options that hold it up aren't part of a package you DO want, then by all means order it without and take delivery sooner. But I doubt the 'aftermarket available' stuff is holding things up anymore. They might be using it as an excuse, but I doubt it's the issue.

I'm picking up my new truck today... I priced having the liner done aftermarket but the ford was cheaper, they are doing it when the replacement running board comes in (huge dent in the one on the truck)
I guess I'm getting the best of both worlds... It's being done aftermarket by the local Line X shop for the dealer.

My theory is, they did not prep the bed well, and the spray-in liner lifted in several spots... allowing moisture to get underneath. You could not give me a truck with a spray-in liner...

Well, come on down to my house, I'll show you my rotted out pickup bed on my 2009. No, I don't live in Michigan, I live in Texas.

As far as holding up an ordered truck build, I suggest you follow the order status weekly report that one of the dealers does on Youtube. If something is currently in short supply, they will cover it. You might even hear about certain trim levels that Ford may be requesting orders for because they have excess capacity. Pays to be informed during the ordering process. And not just hearsay from a lot salesman.
