Maybe I've missed the pictures or the post but does anyone know where the front plate is going on the 25. It seems like the normal expected spots would all block parking sensors or the radar for ACC.

This is something I’ve been wondering too. I’m going to ask my dealer to not install it and I will wait to see what others are doing before I put it on. I’m hoping there are indents to use as a guide for where Ford thinks it should be, but if not I’m guessing they will put it here:

The area with the red box is where it goes on the current Mavericks, so that would be the logical place.

Just as the other people said it's going where it is on the 22s to 24's two holes drilled through the plastic front painted bumper with a black plastic plate holder.

Just don't do it!
I drove my Mustang for over 10 years without a front plate in Ohio before they finally changed that law here. My 5.0 screams pull me over but I never had a problem.

"Law enforcement" may not pull you over for not having a front plate, but they certainly can add it to a citation.
I choose not to give taxpayer funded Revenue Generators the opportunity. I have a front plate mounted.

If your state issues 2 license plates, there’s a reason. Don’t Buck it, mount the plate, or get it mounted, and save yourself of the misery from those blue flashing strobe lights.

Thankfully the front plate isn't required in Michigan, but ours came with the plate holder installed. It was very crooked so I removed it and plugged the holes with painted body color push pins.

That may work in your state, but not mine. My front plate was stolen once, and I made it about 12 hours without it before I was pulled over.

Yeah I live in FL where we don’t even need front plates, have family in NJ and they don’t run front plates yet it’s required, no issues yet.

If the front plate is a state requirement, then you can be pulled over and cited. Indeed it probably has to be a slow day for them to stop you for such an offense, but that is one reason they can use and maybe find something else.
