Has anyone heard/seen anything on the front license plate location?
There was supposed to be an update with this information, but silence.

It looks like the current/normal location for the front license plate would cover the forward radar.

There are similar threads, but not asking the question direct about covering up the front radar or solutions that have been offered. One is a poll on having a front plate, one is a vanity license plate, and one is a front mount regarding the winch placement before launch.

See, I can search to see similarities. This question is still open because there seems to be no solutions offered (besides eliminate the plate).

This is the location on the stock bumper..the modular bumper looks even worse because it's up a little more.

I had an idea that a bracket could be mounted on the front row hook to float the plate like this: hope someone comes up with something like this.

I think some states require that front mount be centered on the vehicle. Not for sure, but that seems like a California type law.

The whole front end is a big f.. mess! Looks like they were trying to be ā€œthe best in class approach angleā€ as the result ugly front license plate mount, winch mount is almost a last minute ā€œfixā€ which blocks trail cam. Huge openings in the bumper invite gravel and dead wood hit adaptive cruise sensor as well as damage intercooler....
Ford needs to fix that. I donā€™t care if approach angle is 1 degree lower than rubicon.

don't have a photo, but similar to the regular bumper posted above, but a bit higher, covering more of the grill, they pointed out the two little dimples where you'd put the screws in.

I'm gonna tell my dealer to leave it off and risk a fix it ticket until something else comes along. I dove for years w/o a front plate on my Nissan 240SX long time ago, never was pulled over or anything, cops usually have better things to do. But if they pull you over for something else (or think you're drunk or doing something else illegal) they might use it either as an excuse or add on to what ever ticket you were gonna get already.

I just want to see what other options might pop up or maybe I'll just zip tie it to the bumper šŸ™ƒ

Or I'll just mount it where it's supposed to go, not something I'd notice after a day anyways, don't plan to stand in front of my Bronco all that much and don't care what others think, too old for that ;-)
