Just waiting on it to be trucked over to the Dealership about 20 min away. 8 more days because people here have averaged roughly 10-12 days once their truck was off the Rail. Dealer says the 7th-10th but I would add another 7 days to that.

Others who already have your vehicle— did it come with a front license plate holder? Mine didn’t, which surprised the dealer. I found the brace and screws for it under the rear seats just now, I’m going to ask the dealer to install it (unless there are already pre-drilled holes in front bumper, but I didn’t see any).
Mine came with one. They had to drill holes in the bumper to mount it...

And yea, it's not the best look but I'd rather be legal. :unsure:

The license plate holder was installed as part of PDI. I did not see any holes for it. Below is how it looked fresh off the truck

I wish Ford would have found a way to use the snap on one from the ICE

Do you have an after picture showing where it was mounted?

Not the best, it’s a tight squeeze in the garage😄

I think this is held on by pop rivets that go thru the bumper, it’s not a clip on. At dealer now getting mine installed.

@Avocadodude just clipped it on, the pop rivets might be for more security? On my ICE popping it on worked and held on with no issues. But post a pic of your before they put the license plate if possible. I have already told the dealer not to install the front plate, just in case.

Yep. I had to take the plate off to see it. Clips on bottom rivets behind plate. Wish I would have seen this before delivery.
