Is Spray-in Bed Liner During Build?

[KEMeyer]

My '24 Lariat includes the spray-in liner, and I'm wondering if that's done during production or if it goes to a shop after build is completed. Module population finally showed up, and now I'm getting a bit antsy but know I need to be patient for another few weeks.

It is after. Called the Body Shop.

Goes to a body shop after build but that step usually only take a day or two.
If you talk to Ford they can tell you if it's left the body shop or not.

Did not seem to slow my XLT down much in production line as that is the only option i got.......!

I thought I read somewhere that the SIBL was done by a third party and not Ford. Any truth to that ?

The Hermosillo plant is surrounded by a city of smaller automotive companies, some tightly tied to Ford, some less so. I think the bed liner is still done "in house" and tightly Ford, but there is a chance it is one of the ancillary companies that shares a "campus" with Ford Hermosillo .

Take a look at Google Maps to see what I mean!

After it comes off the line, they drive it down the road to a 3rd party shop where they spray the liner and drill holes in the top of your fuel tank. Or did they fix that?
I had an early truck.
