@David Maybe someone at Ford could tell us if these pictures show the location for the front license plate?

Same here Texas makes us wear a front plate. If that’s the location, I am just going to find a new spot for it even if I have to tie it on with bailing wire.

Don't have anything official on this. I would say that there's probably no other place to put it. Where would you put it on the Mustang? It isn't uncommon to have great car design ruined by a front license plate. Remember, the sensor for adaptive cruise control sits behind the plate inside the "window" of the bumper so they probably don't want to obstruct that. Any lower and you start to interfere with the bash plate. There isn't a great option, seems to me.

My mustang came with a plate screwed to the front bumper cover. Cost me $500 to put a new cover on just to get rid of the self tapping screw holes. I hope the plate holder doesn’t get attached that way on the Bronco. I will make sure to order mine without the front plate.

Happily Arizona doesn’t require a front license plate, but man I hope they are able to find a better solution. I’d like to have a good place to stick this...2F95E03A-7D6F-480F-A2E3-934097F5FD57.jpeg

I really wish ACC was behind the windshield. It's causing problems in such a modular vehicle.

Yeah, my Explorer was shipped to my LFD from Ohio and it had the front bumper plate. I ended up taking it off and putting these in the resulting holes - Bumper Plugs
Not a perfect solution but they really matched the bumper color perfectly and were pretty unnoticeable.

I think I would prefer it on the roof more than that location? It's offset to the driver's side on the back. Would prefer it be uniform in location. Note this is the modular bumper. Maybe better placed on the standard bumper. Since I plan on having the Adaptive cruise locations are limited, but I was only hoping to have a place for my Bronco nation tag since Florida only has a single tag. The Badland or Wildtrack I have configured both have the modular bumpers so it was good this was brought up.

I'm sure the aftermarket will figure out a better place to put it. Maybe even use the Bronco Bolts somehow. :cool:

Gonna put mine in the front window, or if its on the bash plate it can double as a scratch protector :p

After a quick review of YouTube, I discovered the Jeep community has been dealing with this issue for years. I have attached just two videos for your review. There are many more. I suspect we will find a good place for the front tag. Enjoy!

Plus it helps protect the cable from road grit.

I got adaptive cruise, when I see a hill my foot pushed down on the loud pedal, when I reach the top it lifts off. Its AMAZING.
