That's interesting. I test drove an FX4 with the EB and Max Tow package, and it didn't have the front plate removed like this one. Then again, I live in Alaska, where the average temps are considerably lower than wherever this might be required, such as Arizona. Heck, here we usually cut up carboard boxes to block off our grilles when the temps get below -10 because it's murder on hoses and linkages at highway speeds. I agree that it's ugly, but I'm pretty sure you could make yourself a nice mesh cover that would allow airflow but also give you a place to mount the license plate. That's assuming a 3rd party hasn't already begun making something like that already.

 

Oh please.... Like I'm the only one who's decided against buying something because I didn't like how something looks. Each of us has likely done this at least once in our lives...

 

LMAO at letting something as small as the license plate placement determine which engine you choose... but to each his own.

 

I like the DSG supercab ecoboost. After I get mine paid off that's the exact truck I'm gonna buy.

 

I had the A/C on today. mine gets used at least 9 months out of the year. When it is 100+ and you get in a black truck that has sat in the direct sun all day you do not want ANYTHING that will hurt the A/C.

There really isn't another good spot to put the intercooler inlet or the front tag. One of them had to be moved. To me the intercooler is way more important than where the tag is mounted. I like the idea of 420 ft-Lb and 22MPG, screw the tag we don't use them anyway.

 

The power and mileage is certainly appealing. But hey enjoy your A/C, it's 11 outside now with a strong and gusty wind, but no new snow. Not too much fun.

 

If Ford put the 6.2 into a supercab, I would buy one.

Why can't you put a plow on a truck with EPS? I have not followed all of the details about the 11's like many of you clearly have.

 

Thats where I bought my 2010 Lariat. I would get the Lariat. Discounts seem about right. Try offering about $1500 below thier price. they don't really haggle over price up there. They stick to the discounted price, but, will not lose a deal for a few hundred bucks. So try the 1500 below thier price, walk if you are not happy. See if they will give you a 2010 plate braket or better still, buy one from an online dealer. After you but the truck install the plate braket and mount the plate in the desired location. Hell, even drill some holes in the plate. Good Luck

 

What a joke! This plate thing turning you off from a truck is ridiculous! You people are one of the things wrong with America! just go buy a pos chevy!

 

If ugly women turn us off why shouldn't an ugly front license plate?

 

Maybe you should give ugly women a chance to change your mind as well!

 

It's your money, if you want to buy a lesser truck because you don't like the location of the license plate go for it.

 

Um its easier to modify that bumper than an ugly women and alot cheaper! Just get the normal insert like us non-ecoboosters. Its that simple. For this to make you not buy it there are alot more underlying issues for you!

 

Crap and you shouldnt care anyways cause with the ecoboost they will be seeing your rear plate anyways!

 

Too heavy.

If the 6.2 with its cast iron block was too heavy for the EPS, imagine a plow...
