The elusive cosmetic bumper plug for the spare tire winch

[23HRPXL]

My truck has a build date of 6/23 - it never came with a lock, just a plastic cover.

Same for me, build date 05/23. XL trim.

May be time to get an Offset Extension Wrench and not bother removing that plug to drop the spare.

Had an act of stupid yesterday. Saw 5 squirrels come out from under the backside of the truck and decided to drop my spare to make sure they weren't trying to build a nest or store food on top of the tire. Well after raising the spare back into place and getting everything put away I left my lock on the bumper ?

Does anybody know if a 23 0r 24 plug will fit a 22 Ranger ?
And if I buy $30.00 kit from Ford can it be used without re-keying it, so it will act like a plug and not a lock.

The 2024 shows this Part Number: LB3Z-17K922-A
It depends on the hole in the Step Pad, if it is the same as the 5G it should work.

OEM Ford Parts Direct - shows 1 in stock (In-Store) @ $5.05
Which is actually - T-Bred Ford (Boardwalk) by the St. Luke's North.
You have to purchase On-Line to get the best price vs In-Store Dealer Mark Up's
I use them for all Dealer Parts and pick up in store, saves shipping and for me its just a 25 Min drive.
I was actually just there last week picking up parts.

So you have an option (cheap) to test fit, other than that for the OE it would need a lock and keyed to the truck.
It appears the 24 just uses a blanking plate that rotates 1/4 Turn or so then same as the keyed version does but without a clear pic of the blank hole on the 24 its hard to say it will fit the 5G.
It looks like you are going to be the fit tester.

Well that sounds like plan there
Do they have a $2.00 markup like Blue Springs Ford does when I order online and do in person pickup. They honor the online price somewhat, just that fee.

I put my order in this morning. I'll probably swing up there tomorrow and pick it up.
We need to do a meet and great sometime ?

Looks like Sat. is by app. only, so I swung up North on my way to work today and picked up the cover.

Nobody likes a Dirty hole. 303 to the rescue

Went right on. Fit like it was made for it. Just turn it 90*
There is no stop so you'll have to center it up yourself.
