Beadlock delay - any info on timing?

[Autophanatic]

Damn, Autophanatic. You have some special build or your dealer holding out on their allotments?

Pretty typical forged wheel build; dealer supply line seems to have a major kink to these parts. All their allocations have been glacially slow. Other units have arrived before mine, which were ordered later than me, and also with the beadlock wheels. No sense in trying to figure it out--just squiggly lines.

Must be getting a decent deal or are very patient...I would've shopped elsewhere by that time. I know the CDA area seems light on Raptors...dealer in Montana was out of allotments and dealers in Southern Idaho seem to be about out as well....but at a July 16 order...dealer in Southern Idaho just offered me their last order but said I could not order the carbon fiber gear shift nor the bead lock wheels.

Just an MSRP deal, which is decent. Not superlative, no, but it is decent. I suspect if I would have purchased locally in Cda, I would have taken delivery awhile ago; their first delivery was LONG before Gus's first delivery. I've been a Gus Johnson customer though since buying my '13 and '14 Raptors, as they are tremendously more ideal to work with than Addis Ford. But, Addis Ford sold to Parker's in August of last year...so maybe Cda can steal me back to my hometown, if they treat me right. It's been a long haul....but the saga should be coming to a close soon, short of some train or convoy disaster.

That sucks I had good luck with Addis awhile back, grew up in the area and moved, now back. I tried to work with Parker on a few things, but since the change they really haven't seemed to got the kinks ironed out. Buying that many vehicles, if Ford, I would definitely look into the Ford dealer in Plains, MT. Straight shooters and if they weren't out of allotments would've ordered from them. MSRP seemed to be bad words to them....great people to talk to.

Glad you found one!

Yeah, it would benefit the dealers around here to treat me decently; I am not their usual auto shopper. Lived here all my life. Certainly tried to deal with Addis, many times over the years. I like to keep business local, but also felt that I owed them something, as Addis Dodge awarded me a new car in 2000--name picked out of a raffle with all the area's top high school graduates. But no dice--they continually mistreated on both the Dodge and Ford sides of the complex. They made it very easy to take my $ elsewhere. Gus Johnson has always broken their back on me for superlative service, so when my long time sales guy texted me this last July, asking if I wanted a Raptor, I said--hell yes!
