FIRST Thanks to all that helped me. It helped me push the order the way I want it. In the end it all worked out. Probably has not been built it yet since the beadlocks are on the order, but I really don't know. Today I got this from salesman.
"He just got back with me and said the options are added. Sticker price is now right at $68,500. Want me to send you a new purchase agreement? ". So I'll wait for however long but at least it will be the way I want. Minus carbon; I here that's not a probable build that's getting pulled and for some reason I love CF.

Also here is how I got MSRP without calling every dealer. I researched on Autotrader and emailed several dealers offering Raptors at MSRP. Most replied back there truck was sold but one contacted me and said it's sold but we have one on order with no one on it. Avalanche and most options I wanted so I put a deposit on it and now thanks to the guys on the forum I'm getting it the way I want. 2 dealers in Ohio I found in Ohio at MSRP have no more orders for 2017 and said check back in July. If not for the one I'm buying from WV I'd be waiting for a 2018. This is THE first auto I've EVER spent full MSRP on. Will never pay over invoice I would not be able to sleep at nite. Just my thing.

Congrats on getting it the way you want it....almost....but you could add CF later when the parts come back available.

I got the dreaded call today that if I wanted to move forward with my order I needed to remove the bead locks (forged) and CF. I was sent a revised DORA with the message to modify my order.

I can always live without CF as I can add that later (the shifter is pretty sweet if you haven't seen one in person) but the beadlocks are almost a deal breaker for me. I just am not a fan of the shiny stock/base wheels and as I'm ordering the truck in Avalanche I intend on blacking out most of the other items to create contrast.


Ordered 1/9. Avalanche, S-Crew, 802A, Twin Panel, CF Pkg, Bead Lock, Tech Pkg, Heated Steering and 2nd Row, Orange Trim, Hood Graphics, Tailgate Step and Appliqué, Spray Liner, Soft Cover Status: Unscheduled Clean and asked to remove CF and BeadLock 1/18

Why not just add aftermarket wheels.? You'd have a better selection and probably save money in the end.

Fair point and I definitely would have better selection. Does anyone know if the 17-inch BFGoodrich KO2 are the same with either set of rims? That way I simply flip the set of factory wheels and buy a set of rims vs. rims/tires. Or maybe it makes sense to go a different wheel/tire combo route but this belongs on another thread...

Double check to see if the MSRP changed. Other people have posted about the MSRP going up by about $500. So, after dropping the beadlock wheels, some only saw about $500 to $600 reduction in the bottom line price.

Excellent point. I have the original Dora's and the updated DORA and the MSRP certainely did change. I will have to have the dealer honor the lower MSRP price when I pickup the vehicle in 1,2, 3 or more months ;-)

My window sticker was $650 higher than the earlier agreed price. Thankfully my dealer committed to the lower price in good faith, whether Ford takes care of it or not.
