Does anyone know if the Bumper Cover Panel of the Maverick FX4 will fit on the Lariat. I want to install Blue Ox Base Plate but don’t want the look of the cut outs.

I am in the same boat. My Lariat arrives in two weeks and getting Blue Ox baseplate unless another company makes o baseplate not requiring cutout.

Roadmaster does but it requires removing or modifying the Active Air Shutter system.

I have installed several Roadmaster baseplates before on different vehicles, but I am NOT going to risk doing it on the Maverick and destroy the ActiveShutter system. Sure seems that it would be a good reason for a warranty-denial as that helps both fuel AND cooling, so if anything goes wrong with engine that could be blamed on heat.....

I am annoyed that Roadmaster went that route. That lower bumper cover for the FX4 is a $410 item, so maybe I'll cut out the cover for the Blue Ox baseplates and then wait til I win the lottery to put on a new cover. Several of us with this quandry.
