Front plate?

Assuming the lower grill is the intercooler, where will a front license plate mount?

And... where does the winch go?

Has to be, some states require it. Bet it will be like the existing ecoboost, just do a google search for F-150 ecoboost front license plate, a gazillion images will show you where it is currently and most likely will be on the raptor. That was easy.

These are eco-boosts and it is still mounted in center - unlike old generation was on the side bumperette...

Nothing like blocking 80% of the airflow to the I/C.

I would agree... Yet if the thing fails warranty will say "You covered the I/C and lost 80% of the air flow. Due to this the I/C did not function as designed and in no longer covered."?

:/

This is currently where the license plate is mounted on the EcoBoost F-150:

That's been a question of mine since day one.

All the current gen ones I've seen have it mounted in the center, over the intercooler. I think the prob is that the plates now block the radar when they're moved to the side.

Guess you need to move to Alberta so you do not have to worry about the front plate issue.

I did some Googling and it appears that you have to relocate the I/C in order to mount a winch. At least with the stock bumper.
