Not that I am complaining but it was a thing on my mental check list to remove/mod when I first got it. But looking at the tailgate it is not there and I just washed it and didn't see it anywhere. Not sure if it is a normal thing now or the plant just missed putting it on.

Probably forgot to put it on. Guess less work for you :)

The 2020 XL STX had the emblem on it but the 2020 XLT FX4 does not. So it was sometime during 2020 that Ford stopped putting the Eco Boost emblem on.

I've noticed Ford removed a lot of small items going from my 2019 to my 2021. The one that upset me the most was the rear headrests. On my 19 they folded down to improve rear visibility. On my 21 they no longer fold and have to be removed.

We figured it was mid to late 2020 that they stopped putting them on. About the same time the center bed tie downs stopped appearing and the front spindles went from aluminum to steel.

That’s one question I did have, why did they go from aluminum to steel? Cheaper? Mine are steel.

In 2019, I, along with a whole bunch of other Ranger owners were invited to meet with Ford engineers to discuss our Rangers. I had removed my ecoboost badge and one of the lead engineers remarked they were considering doing away with the badges as there didn’t seem to be a need to market ecoboost because everybody knows Fords have ecoboost.
