Wheel well liners constraint?

[Detroit87]

I ordered a lariat with wheel well liners. I keep reading that this option is slowing production if selected? Any insight? Thanks all.

I ordered mine with it. I can't tell whether it changed anything or not.
My truck was in production on 11/10 and it was shipped on the 13th.

I too ordered them and my build was bumped from 01/03 to 01/10. Not sure if this was the reason.

Isn’t that a “dealership installed option “? (ie; Why would that hold up the line)

Ordered Lariat w/wheel liners on 8/21. KC build 11/3, delivered 11/16.

A dealer can install them. However I did order mine with the build. I don't think it is currently holding up production as it did in the past.

Delete wheel liners on your order and install aftermarket liners. They're very easy to install. I installed Husky liners on my truck.

I did the same thing only I ordered the OEM ones off eBay. They were a piece of cake to install (literally 5 min) and cost less.

Not hold up the libr

So are you saying they do cause it to take longer?

Yes, absolutely. Any parts shortage for a vehicle can hold up the production of the vehicle. Would you buy a truck without a steering wheel? When I bought my truck from dealer inventory it didn't have the wheel well liners. I asked the parts dept if they had liners and was told they didn't have any at the time so I ordered them online. If your factory order had specified 'wheel well liners' then your build would be on hold until liners were available.

I originally had the spray in bed liner and wheel well liners on my order. I didn’t want those to be a reason to hold up the build because I could easily find Husky liners online and use Line-X for the spray, so I had the dealer remove them.

I don’t think there’s any added benefit getting them from the factory. People in this forum have been happy with the Husky liners and other manufacturers.
