Remove 64D and get scheduled

[Miker397]

I got the call today that my Oct 24 order (spot 7 of 11) would get scheduled if I dropped carbon fiber (I have standard wheels). The zone rep is at my dealer (who controls the scheduling process) today and my dealer is checking (1) any guess on delay if I keep Carbon Fiber (I'm patient until ~April/May but not June/July or after (2) if dropping carbon (I'd also drop both decal packages at same time and go with rappygraphics) increases the price to the higher $635 current MSRP.

I'm pretty tempted to drop it. I am tired of the waiting game and am guessing there will be aftermarket carbon options eventually as well if I ever wanted them.

Will keep you posted when I hear back today.

Looks like the beadlocks are available on eBay and you can have two sets of wheels for about the same price.

Just got a call from the Sales Manager at the dealer I am buying my truck from. He said he got an email from the Cincinnati Ford Rep saying they are trying to schedule my truck to be built but there is a problem and option 64D needs to be removed. This of course is the Beadlock capable black wheel option that I wanted.
I know this has been talked about many times on here and the Carbon Fiber option but this is the first time Ford has reached out to say pull this code and we will build it. (To me at least) I had been in contact on FB with Ford Customer care and I had asked this directly with no real answer back. So at least I got contacted and told we have a shortage, cancel and well build it.

I might go aftermarket, but first will powder coat the OEM wheels and see if I can just do that and see if I like that look. I am not crazy over the 64D wheels but I like the color, so buying them from Ebay or whatever is not something I would do. I don't like them that much & I will never buy the rings to go full beadlock so that does not matter to me.

I am also from Cincinnati and bought my truck at Northgate Ford. I was out there yesterday and they just received a black Raptor that is available for sale because whoever ordered it backed out on the deal. If anybody is interested, definitely give them a call.

How much is the option? If you want the beadlocks bad enough, buy them for more and sell yours on eBay. You will probably end up better off.

This price might go down, they originally had them at $1359 but noticed that there was a lot of interest and raised the price to $1959, then no one was buying and they lowered to $1739, now $1699. I heard that they have ~ 700 sets.

FYI, the bead locks are FORGED aluminum.

Most aluminum wheels are cast.

Generally, forged are stronger but also lighter.

I hear what your saying and I see new trucks getting delivered everyday with the wheels & carbon fiber, but my truck was to be built do to a mess up on 2 other trucks the dealership had. This dealer told me they were allocated my build because of the problems they had previously and they were told it would be expedited due to the problems they went through. So Ford gave them an additional allocation and they could not schedule the build do to the 64D shortage. So will more wheels be available later? YES Are there trucks with Vins and build dates getting wheels? YES Right now they can not set up my build with the 64D code (or carbon fiber). Said he would send me the email from the rep if I wanted it. I told him I didn't need it. He had to have this changed by midnight and I hope Thursday I will have good news. Now if nothing changes this Thursday or next I might ask for the email.

My sales guy (who I trust immensely) told me the same thing this afternoon about beadlocks and carbon fiber. He said a few people ahead of me in line have decided to wait until those options are available - which means others have moved up for their orders. I want the beadlocks but will forgo if it means I can order my Raptor.

Same here....and I'll just order the ebay wheels....overall may cost about $900 more though (wheels, shipping, install)
