So just learned today that raptor builds with bead lock wheels and leather interior will not be built. However if you select or switch to vinyl and standard wheels they will proceed with your build.

Here we go again….

Learned from where? I thought the stock wheels were a constraint and they were encouraging people to switch to the optional beadlocks to get built sooner? I think this is a case of the telephone game and info being distorted along the way.

Edit. According to FordVideoGuy they need builds with the regular interior and optional wheels. Mark 19:40 from last week.

Unfortunately, no. You can even get built and still get a hold for something like @Riverat chip hold.
My build day is Thursday and it looks like there's a chance I'll get put on chip hold.

Had a build week of 12/12 on my Raptor. Bumped on Wednesday to 12/19, and again today to 1/16. Have beadlock and leather. WTF

@Zach@Granger , please find out if this is legit, I had blend date on 12/9 window sticker in production email , order tracker saying everything is good then on 12/7 I checked fords order tracker and I was just order confirmed and no longer in production , then checked back door link and got pushed to 1/9/23. If this is true I am super mad because the only reason I switched to beadlock is because granger told me I had to in order to get an allocation. So to be clear I got bumped because of constraints to my23 which is an additional $5k, and on top of that to get an allocation I had to option up to beadlocks(which I didn’t truly want) for $2k, so as it sits I am not $7k more than last year and got pushed because of a constraint I was told I HAD to have to get an allocation build? I just don’t see how this stuff continues to happen to all of us. I have emailed granger and ford and would be happy to switch back to regular wheels to get mine built which is what I prefer, but was told that’s not possible and I am stuck. If this doesn’t sound like bait and switch I don’t know what does? OP can you confirm that an email went out to dealers with a screenshot by chance? Thank you so much

Asked my dealer if they received any communications from Ford about Warthog build restraints and I was told NO. They have shared with me past communications even when I don't ask so I believe them.
