Question #6: Order accessories from dealer or not?

[911 Crazy]

So when ordering accessories from Ford, which ones are good deals and preferred to have come with delivery and which are not? Specifically looking at the spray in bed liner and Bedrug. Can these be bought at a better price afterwards? Is Ford trusted to do these? Anything else I need to buy from Ford at time of purchase?

I'd rather have Line-X than the factory spray in liner.

What's the difference? Thickness?

You seldom get a good, or even a “fair to below average” deal when buying aftermarket parts from a dealer. Sure they will let you roll them into the price of the truck, but if you are financing it, the added interest makes those parts cost even more than a fair to below average deal from a reputable vendor on this forum.

It took me about 2 months to put together my list of parts by reading this forum and talking to vendors. In the end, I saved thousands of dollars over buying them through a Ford dealer.

Is buying the beadlocks at $2000 for 5 from the dealer a good deal rather than adding them later if need be?

I bought a set of these.

I have the Ford 'tough bed' or whatever in mine. I'd say it is on par with other bed liners I've had over the years. You can get the truck done for about $500 I'd guess. No idea what the ford option costs.

Ford charges.......$500.

I purchase mine through my dealer. I just show them what the same item sells for online and they match it.

Same here. And for not much more money I went with the color matched Line-X that looks pretty cool.
