Front License Plate Attachment Options?

[MayhemMaverick]

Our XL has nothing there. Any other auto I have ever had had some mounting feature.
Front plate in horizontal position is required by Vehicle code in CA. Anyone else notice and deal with this ? - Thanks

It is an option when ordered...... did you order from an out-of-state dealer?

Looks like this is the part # NZ6Z-17A385-CA. Retail price $37.37.

Thanks both of you. Ordered from Folsom Lake Ford, Folsom CA and a " CA" car. Thinking about how Ford can apparently omit something that is required by law. Charge $$ for an accessory ? I am not esq and I didn't sleep at the Holiday Inn. I'll let this thread cruise over the weekend then ask my new friends at Ford about it Monday or Tuesday. Also realized when we got our plates yesterday from the DMV that our little 3,000 lb baby is a registered truck.

It's a no charge option at time of order, so bitch at your dealer, not Ford.

A lot of States don't require a front license plate. That's on your dealer if your State requires it.

I disagree. Not saying you are right or wrong but that its lame. Ford delivers a car that the dealer has bring into compliance ? Can they leave airbags, turn signals, or emissions control off ? It will be entertaining to see what dealer says. Are either of you running a front plate ? Thanks for your response, I am surprised no one has brought this up yet.

Edit: Should not be an option from Ford. Its mandatory in CA and surely other states. Dealer never mentioned it, I doubt they are even ware of it circa 9/2021. I will check our window sticker sheet, the vehicle is out right now .. . .. .

My state doesn't require front plates and I don't want a bracket, holes, or any other evidence of a front plate on my vehicle when I pick it up.

Ford makes front brackets available during the ordering process. It's 100% on the dealer to make sure your vehicle is equipped and delivered with STATE SPECIFIC requirements.

I have my 2022 maverick packaging guide from my dealership. On the second to last page under packages/options it says quote Front license plate bracket (std in states where required by law; opt in all other states) order code 153 unquote.

Look at the window stickers of the 2 Mavericks they show in stock, they both include the N/C front plate bracket.

Heck, even when I have bought vehicles out of state (from a state with no front plate requirement), the dealer still supplied the front bracket when requested, at no charge.

Check under your rear seat, drivers side. That's where most have found the bracket hiding.

Dealers probably sell them on Ebay. I may skip the front one for a while as my friends say they have gotten away with it for years. Apparently there is one suburban town that enforces it but I very rarely go through there. Would like to find an option where it mounts below instead of drilling into the front.

If you wanna get fancy, this one seems to be back in stock for $100

My dealer had mine in the backseat, he said they would install it free, if I wanted it.

 

[MayhemMaverick]

Thanks Sandra thats what I will do.
