Whelp... looks like Texas DPS is going to get very familiar with me because that trash isn't going on my vehicle.

Posted up at bronco nation is this closeup of front license plate location which is just where we saw on that preproduction Bronco in someone's driveway.

Confirms this location .

.

Ford has said specifically that that is ONLY the location when you order the winch:

“And to ensure a maximized approach angle without obstructing forward lighting, the front license plate is center-mounted on either the front bumper, or with the optional winch bracket, mounted just above the modular front bumper," Ford's Jiyan Cadiz told Motor1.com

People won’t give it up though...it’s like they want it to be on the grill so they have something to gripe about.

I don't think it's clipped on, I hope it is, but think that's unlikely. If it's screwed on I NEED to make sure I tell the dealer to not install it. 1 it looks horrible and 2 I don't want the damn holes in the bumper or grill.

Clip on... screw on... Anyone that has to put that thing on is taking it with a strap on that's for sure...

Tow hook mount ftw?

You think if it’s center mounted on the bumper it will clear the ACC radar?

That’s unacceptable. Good thing about getting a 22 is that we’ll see 21 Broncos and will be able to back out before getting a surprise that we can’t live with.

Lmao, really? Unacceptable? You'd back out because you don't like where the front plate goes?

There's no where else to put it especially with the mod bumper. It can't go lower, it would block the radar sensor, and it can't go on either side of the bumper because the bumper ends come off.

If it's so easy then go ahead and mount it in a better place yourself.

Or just don't run one. I know i won't.

how can they mess so many things up -

Most (maybe all) of their vehicles have ACC on the drivers side : “The sensor is located behind a fascia cover near the driver side of the lower grille. A vehicle ahead cannot be detected and the system will not function when the radar signals are obstructed.”

Front plates never look good, no matter where you put them. Ford could put that thing in any one of a hundred places and it wouldn't matter, someone here would complain about it.

I don’t know to who’s point this goes, probably yours and I’m definitely on your side of this... but the top of the mod bumper always remains, just the bottom corners are removable.

You could still mount it there without issue, it would just get in the way of approach angles (if youre into that type of thing).

Well, not enough to drive down demand very much...of course, this one isn’t even true (unless you order the winch) according to Ford who directly responded to this. But don’t let that get in the way of some good old fashioned bitching over nothing.

Yeah no. I’ll throw it I need the back and take my chances with THE LAW

just do what the sport bike people do, and put it here:

Yup I thought about that. While yes you could, it would defeat the purpose of removing the ends in the first place. You'd rip the plate right off.

Of course, that's not going to be an issue for 99% of owners.
