road turtle Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 How long does factory process generally take to complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray-in bedliners are done off-site at a separate facility. If you're wondering about the additional time it adds to the OTD (Order-to-Delivery) schedule I'd estimate an additional week. There is limited capacity and some weeks it's a commodity issue but that doesn't affect scheduled orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversimplifying, but It's too bad they don't just add a couple more nozzles at the MAP Paint Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
road turtle Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Thank you IC, I'll be patient for a week, unless I get jammed up somehow on time. From what I've researched, Ford spray is a little softer and stuff tends to slide around less than the aftermarket spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddestt Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 A lot of dealers will advise to skip on the ford factory spray in/wheel liners/mud flaps due to the delay in shipment. Dealers offer to go aftermarket and they will install for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, none of the dealers I've talked to recommended that. I've ordered them all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s as good if not better than the factory liner and about the same price IIRC. In this case factory isn’t better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line-X is only as good as the local distributor and the guy they have prepping and spraying that day.

You could say the same about the factory version. It’s applied the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 My factory spray-in is good. I hear people complaining about it often, but they must be hauling boulders or something. I've had no issues and I use my bed to haul around plenty of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only complaints I heard were about incomplete coverage. I think the quality and durability are about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 We put my 2020 with the spray in liner next to my B.I.L's 2016 that was subbed out from the dealer.... The 2020 factory ordered is thicker... The one that was subbed out seams more slippery . . . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask him that question..... I am not sure he will know as he purchased it USED from a dealer....We know it was subbed by the window sticker copy he had at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
