This truck is just plain embarassing

Hell, id vote for ya. I like your ideas.

It dovetails nicely with some of my other planks in my platform namely:
No vinyl siding on high style houses like Victorian, Italianate etc
Limiting certain things in bagels (like pineapple)

and from there, I'm open to suggestions.

PLEASE NOTE: I like pineapple and have nothing to but positive feels for it's use in things like fruit salad etc but there's needs to a line in the sand people! (I hope this appeases "Big Pineapple" as well as pineapple aficionado's, we need those votes and investm ... ooops "donations"). Mone is free speech so if Dole want's to talk to me, I'm listening!!

Pesonally, I don't care for it but I know some lovely people who do which is what makes us a strong nation! (how'd I do??, also I was hoping this "issue" wouldn't crop up)

Here's a better front license plate holder. https://www.cravenspeed.com/the-platypus-license-plate-mount-2/

How does that compare to this one on Amazon?

I live in real America — no front plates in Pennsylvania.

I can't be the only one that forgets and leans against the license plate when accessing the frunk after a rain

Guess we know which way it hangs…

I was scared off by the reviews that said that the plastic degraded under the sun. I also did not like the frontal blockage of the air vent.


The Cravenspeed Platypus front license plate is made of metal, made in USA. It's installed on the side, so the main air vent is unobstructed. It doesn't block the parking sensors. There is enough gap to let air flow around the side. Airflow to the cooling system was my priority in my decision to go with the Platypus.

The clips holding it in place look a little awkward when installed. I installed it on the left side. Clips hook behind the fender edge. I gave the installed plate holder multiple good solid tugs over different months and it's holding solid. I haven't put Locktite and it's still ok.

The 360 camera picks up the plate holder. Looks very obvious on the top down view, but I've adjusted and ignore it. Doesn't impact my ability to park.


Crave speed sells screws with uncommon screw heads for security. That way someone with a Phillip screwdriver can't just unscrew the plate.

I didn't want to install the other kinds of holder that installed into the tow hitch eye. I couldn't tell if those would block the parking sensors. I didn't want to unscrew my licence plate in a emergency tow situation.


That left the CravenSpeed Platypus as my only option. So far so good.

Thanks for the in-depth review on it. I'm in Denver-Metro where the police love to pull you over for not having a front plate correctly installed (IE having it on the dash is a no-go). Parking enforcement will also issue tickets if you are parked on the street. Colorado is rather anal about having a front plate.

And how many times have you donked your head on the frunk clamp that seems to just want to be head butted?

Twice, second time nearly broke my sunglasses that I'd set on top of my head.

I'm not sure how much of an anti front license plate constituency there is but you'd have my vote.

I live in Michigan, where we have sensible lawmakers who don't require us to have front license plates, but I can't buy a used car from Ohio or Illinois because the Fascist leaders there force auto owners to, in some cases, drill holes in the front of their cars for a stupid license plate.

Ohio hasn't required front plates for some years now.

We have been using the one from Amazon for 6 months. No drilling, easy install and no problems with cooling. If I have to have a front plate (required in the 3 states I drive in) this is a good choice.
