If they are part of your order, they are not installed on the assembly line. They are driven over to the "Mod Center" and they are installed there. They also install the hard bed liners and tonneau covers.

They also can be installed by a dealer, or by you.

I installed the liners in the 2016 F150 I had. My Ram's are standard equipment. The F150 I'm looking to buy doesn't have liners (it's in transit, maybe) so I'll be doing the install myself IF I can get a fair trade price for my truck. I'm going to use X-plan pricing for the new truck.

Do the 2015 to 2020 liners fit the 2021? Or can one make them fit reasonably well?

Probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway - what is the real advantage of the liners - aesthetics or do they offer any real benefits reducing corrosion, etc?

supposedly, but my dads 2009 ram has factory wheel well liners and the truck has just as much if not more undercarriage rust than my 2005 f150. and his truck has over 100,000 less miles than mine does. i personally don´t like them. i like seeing the frame through the wheel wells

I ordered em on mine, no built yet.... Husky and some others make nice ones too.
Supposed to protect some stuff. Might delay the order, but it has to go offsite anyway.
I don't mind seeing the frame too much. But I had an Oxford White Ranger 4.0 and didnt like the look of side of the white bed in rear wheel well too much
So new Space White F-150 5.0 gets them.
Agate black or Carbonized gray maybe not be so bad.
Spend 50k on a new bad *** truck, then I don't want it to look like a turd. Ha hA Personal preference I suppose.
As long as I have more go than show, I'm happy.
Plus I'm building mostly for road, canyon, and freeway use, occasional mild dirt roads or fire roads.
I suppose if I was building for off road I'd want to see all of the goodies, Fox, Bilstein, coil overs, gas cylinders, powder coated springs, titanium hardware, oscillation overthruster, flux capacitor, etc, etc LOL

By the way, I think these trucks look terrible without them. So to me they are a mandatory addition.
