I ordered my Ranger last may. Took delivery july 31, 2019. Made sure the dealer did not install front brackets for plate.. no reason too since law passed, even if not in effect yet. Looks much better with no plate up front.

Bought in December, to.ok a chance at first because for some reason the truck did not have its bracket. they finally got one for me and by that time I had learned of the impdending change. Anybody need a front license plate bracket - never used.

Update - sold the bracket to a forum member.

I bought my Ranger in November of 2019 and decided to take my chances. ?
A bit of humor...

In this area, the "radar lovers" aka The Ohio State Highway Patrol :explode: would have picked you up in a heartbeat and fined you $100 plus court cost. Now they have to drop their coffee and donuts and swoop in behind your vehicle for a better inspection. By the time they did this, to me, my Ranger's dormant, screaming, twin turbos would have been kicked-in and activated. :devil:
One more radar lover gone. :) :):) (Updated)

I know there's a joke in here somewhere about losing the ability to identify bad Ohio drivers as they approach from behind you, but I can't remember it.

A better picture, in broad daylight, just for the Ranger OCD forum members.
BTW ... the new front, shiny, Ford license plate can be had for ~ $12 from AutoZone.
Keep in mind, anything that say's the Ford trademark on it is marked-up to pay the blue oval people in Detroit.

Florida doesn't have a front license plate either. When I bought my Ranger in January, I asked the dealer to get me a front bracket. Here's what I put in mine.

OR how about a half size license plate with frame....

This type or size seems to be popular up in Montreal, QC/PQ [CAN]

No offence, but seriously do we really need another blue oval on the front? Isn't one 9 inch one enough?

I did it for the AAA tow truck operators - in case my Ranger "ever" breaks down they will be able to identify my Ranger. :)
I have been driving my Ranger XL for over a year and have only seen two of them in a population of over a million people.! So, clearly marking my vehicle is a requirement in this city for the tow truck operators. :)

Yeah AAA tow truck operators need all the help they can get. I gave up on them along time ago. Broke down in North Dakota with my camper and they wouldn't pull my camper in. Also wanted to hook tow the AWD Bravada I had at the time, no flat bed. I now have Good Sams Roadside, much better service, they will tow what ever I'm driving and the camper. Covers whole family without extra charges.
