GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

[Oris19]

Been trolling these threads for a while now and also waiting for a VIN and build date (ordered mid August). I just received a text from dealer today that the plant is not scheduling anymore orders with the upgraded beadlock wheels or the carbon fiber (mine has just the beadlock). Anybody else hearing the same?

Jnsgator- Did you happen to hear any more on this? Or anyone else? (Beadlock Wheels)

If the above is true, which looks to be legit, I will not be ordering. I reached out to my dealer. Was supposed to go Thursday to spec it and leave a deposit

I haven't heard anything new on this. I gave the dealer the go ahead on Thursday, right when I got the text, to swap out for the standard wheels (reluctantly as it appears I had no choice). Then checked with Ford through social media on Friday and still no VIN/build date.

Any reason to skip features you want other than to get a vin and build date? Just curious...

I too am likely to ditch the beadlocks if it will delay my order further (I have not yet gotten confirmation on their unavailability from my dealer and his Ford rep). I am not a huge fan of the standard wheels but my desire to get my truck sooner rather than later overrides my desire to have the forged alum wheels. I suspect Ford Performance will offer the forged aluminum beadlocks for purchase later and I can just add 'em (as they did with Gen1 beadlocks) or I can just go aftermarket and get other wheels. For me, I'm just getting impatient and I'd like to make sure my truck comes before my current vehicle's lease is up.

I'm not sure it matters that much. A new order now is not going to get pulled for months anyway and supplies may be back in stock by then.

Argh, so annoying if this is accurate information. The greatest off-road truck and I can't get the optional off-road wheels for it? Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous?? I mean, come on Ford, I placed my order in mid-September and that's too late to get the basic options I want? This is my first Ford product and so far not I'm not totally impressed with the ordering process and delays. CF and now the wheels...SMH.

I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker. The bead lock capable wheels are a $1,165 option. You can get better aftermarket wheels for less than that.

Quality forged wheels for under 1100?
