I can chime in here as I just placed my 2nd Raptor order today. First thing dealer told me is his zone rep has been very good about giving him info and said if I don't order with CF and BL it will get scheduled quickly. His last allocation was built in 2 weeks after ordering, order placed Jan. 3rd. NO CF OR BL.
My first Raptor order back in August with CF I got screwed on. I did get the call to remove the CF in Sept. and I refused. It never got scheduled and in Dec. my dealer gave my allocation to someone else, then she could not get more. So I started over.
I'm also told that the Ford spray in bed liner will delay orders by about a month as the trucks are shipped off site to a 3rd party to get sprayed.
The orders we see coming with CF and BL now are all early orders from last summer etc..they waited a long time for those options. I guess it all depends on how much patience you have and how bad you want that CF And BL.
