Hi Ray,It took my dealership like 2 days to get it, too. Should give it to you free of charge.
Sorry for the confusion, I was letting Evan know that his dealership should give him is for free. My dealership did not charge for the plate bracket.Hi Ray,
Your Ranger should have come from the factory with a front plate mount...Dealer should have not charged you a thing....Get your money back if you paid for the install...should have been free.
Hope you are able to recover your money, but should be compensated for your time lost if the dealer kept the vehicle. If I had known, I would have sent you my front plate hardware as Arizona does not require a front plate.

Does anyone have a part number for the bracket?My salesman checked the box for the free front plate bracket. Kentucky dosen't require a front plate but I can put my wife's college plate or anything if I decide to. It does NOT require drilling holes.
Hmmm? Must be a different design than ours. Ours hooks over the top, but it has 2 plastic pieces that engage into existing slots in the bumper to secure the lower section.The factory front plate bracket does not require any holes to be drilled. It will hook over the top of the bumper then the bottom is secured by 2 existing screws in the lower grill opening
Yeah my front plate bracket was a little bulkier than yoursHmmm? Must be a different design than ours. Ours hooks over the top, but it has 2 plastic pieces that engage into existing slots in the bumper to secure the lower section.
There are no screws whatsoever that hold the bracket to the truck..
Nope.. You're right. I was going from memory. There are indeed screws holding the bottom of the bracket.Yeah my front plate bracket was a little bulkier than yours

Someone probably stripped out the holes from over tightening. You could get bigger diameter screws or maybe use nuts and boltsFor some reason the bolts on my back license won't tighten. Any help?
