Beadlock delay - any info on timing?

[Autophanatic]

Hope it works out for ya. My dealer could put them in the computer but told me that it would never get built. My production got bumped up past another guy at my dealer who was waiting on beadlocks.

Seems a crapshoot, either way--beadlocks or standard wheels. My dealer has 7 allocations; I'm #3, with a July order date. Some orders have the beadlocks, others do not. In the end, dealer has not received any 2017 Raptors. I have asked numerous times, most recently this afternoon, and my dealer maintains the same position--there is no restraint on beadlocks, and your order is not being held up for that reason.

I mentioned in another thread that my dealer called today and said the bead locks are on constraint and asked if I wanted to delete them from my order. He said if I kept them it might add 2 to 3 months to my delivery, but I believe that was just a guesstimate. Freakin Ford.

Same here. I was originally told ETA was late March/early April. Tried to change my color choice last week and couldn't because my order had already been pulled. Scheduled to build TODAY and ETA is Feb 15.
Dealer told me I jumped several people with beadlocks and carbon fiber orders.

I was #8 of 9 allotments and jumped to #3 because I ordered without CF and BL. Truck arrives on 1/30

My dealer has 7 allocations, and the first one just arrived this morning, with the forged wheels, so I'm not completely convinced on this beadlock constraint. I have always been, and continue to be, told by my dealer, there is no restriction, no delay on the forged wheels. Sorry for the upside down photo--sadly, it fits in this seemingly upside down world of December orders being delivered before July orders are even moved out of "unscheduled clean".

Beadwork

I was called Thursday and told all raptors with Beadwork wheels would be canceled if you did not change them to the regular ones.

No, but I've heard a lot about them. I'm glad everyone seems to be very pleased with them. If I thought it would expedite my order, I'd definitely elect to go this route instead of factory forged wheels. But, my dealer swears up and down--this will not quicken your delivery. I've contacted Ford, and all they tell me is that if I make any changes to my order at this point, any at all, I will face "substantial further delays". Even still being unscheduled, my dealer still claims a March delivery. Easy to go insane if you let all this convolution contort you. At this point, all I can do is hope for a miracle.....and go from no schedule.......all the way to delivery in 30 to 60 days.

I was waiting and waiting - dropped beadlocks and CF and had a build date almost instantly. Now I just have to figure out what to do for wheels, hate the stockers. Was going to order beadlocks from Detroit Tire but they jacked the price up.

Glad to hear that worked for getting your build date . Hope my dealer is telling the truth.....
