We didn't show any commodity restrictions this week. Both of my last two orders have the bead lock wheels. When it's our turn for our next unit to get pulled if there are any restrictions I'll get a text or call from my rep. I'll try and keep an eye out on the commodity sheet each week to see if anything shows up.
Dealers wouldn't make that up BTW. The only reason they would call and ask you to remove or change an option would be if they were contacted by their rep and told it's delaying scheduling of a unit.
I did get a call a while back asking if my 4th allocation would remove the CF to get his truck sooner. That customer doesn't want his truck sooner so it wasn't an issue. I did ask her if the truck would still get built if I left the CF on it and was told, "yes". They were trying to make sure they could fill the retail orders for the end of the year.
Good to know thanks Darin. He didnt mention that my order was ready to be pulled if I took off the beadlocks (I am supposedly next in line though), but here is the email that he sent over this morning:
Good Morning,
I have just hung up the phone from our ordering guy. He stated that they rec'd a memo from Ford advising that Wheel Pkg 64D was having a supply issue and that current orders containing the wheels would be put aside and filled when they had the product. Ford is asking dealers to change back to original wheels if they do not wish to wait. Your order includes the 64D Wheel Pkg. So I need to know what you would like to do. Do you want to wait to see if they can fulfill the orders or do you wish to change them back to original? Please advise

maybe that means that there are no commodity restraints for trucks being built this week, but maybe they are running low. And orders being pulled at this point probably wouldnt have a build date until late feb/early march and they are anticipitaing on being low at that time period.
