Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

[rohardi]

Just finalized my order this week, the dealer told me BL and CF "sold out for the year".

He's lying to you. There are trucks getting built with them all of the time. People are posting their build info here... All of these lies, maybe thats why car sales people have such a bad reputation...

I don't think its a maybe or possibility. If the options are in your order, and you're order gets pulled, your truck gets built with those options you requested IE beadlocks and CF. If your truck gets built with out those options and you didn't tell your dealer to drop them from the order to get built, your dealer pulled them on their own because they want the truck to get built and make some money. That would be very ****** of them to do. My sales rep called me last week and said if I drop beadlocks from my order, It will get scheduled. I said I want the wheels. So here I am still waiting... But if my dealer card me, told me my truck was getting built, and I saw there were no beadlocks on the window sticker once I got the VIN, there would be an issue. BTW, A dealer by me just got a loaded SCREW with beadlocks and CF. I KNOW these things are getting put on orders so this is really pissing me off at this point.

You have not been waiting long enough to be pissed off.....now me on the other hand.

It is possible that they have sold out one or both for the Raptors they plan on building this year after taking into account all the existing orders.

I thought it sounded fishy. I didn't care about the CF but the forged wheels would be nice.

Oh, I feel for the guys that ordered in July and August. How you don't have your trucks makes NO sense. I am particularly pissed off the past few days though. When I ordered (Dec 5th) I told my sales person that my lease was up in April. he assured me that my order would be filled by the time my lease was up. Yesterday I did my weekly check in on FB with Ford Service and they told me that I was scheduled for production "late march" I thin to my self, That's great news! So, I figured I would verify by calling Ford Performance since we all know how **** poor Ford Service Has been on FB since the switch a few weeks ago. Ford Performance says, Nope, you'r still clean, unscheduled. Now I'm pissed and call my sales person and he said he hadn't heard of any movement on my order. I emailed him the screen shots from Ford Performance ands I haven't heard from him. Someone at Ford needs to loose their job over this roll out. I'm guessing several people need to get fired... I've never seen anything like this from a customer service stand point...

I had a dealer tell me the other day that all Raptors were sold out in the entire country. On average, dealers are idiots.

I get the frustration....I just decided I was not asking the dealer again until last Friday in March if any order movement. I love photoneffect's raptor finder tool....check it every so often and one day maybe I will see mine built. They built one just like mine on 2/15 and again on 2/24 (but without Ca Emissions) so having a hard time believing all those were ordered before me. I think I just got bumped in the dealer's allocation order when I would not drop CF and BL in December. Oh well.... got other projects to keep me busy for a while.

Dealer by me just got in a loaded SCREW with CF and beadlocks yesterday. It's sold, but I went and took a look this afternoon. So sharp!

Congrats. From the numbers being built, it does look like CF harder to come by than BL.
