There was another thread I remember think about 20 pages. Would be nice to know who gets bib and who gets plate. It’s like they just put whatever on they had next to them. Gotta be a reason I would assume

Everyone needs to save their money and stop ordering Ford’s overpriced sticker package. Then maybe they’ll start paying attention.

This is the other thread:

Started in January of 2023.

For those wanting to install this plate, refer to entry 72 of the other thread. A shim must be installed on some models to clear some hoses.

My 2023 f 150 lariat FX4 (built in November 2023) does not have the felt protector.

I ordered the plate and the bolts. I did not order the oil door plate.

I just purchased a 23 XLT FX 4x4 and it has two metal plates underneath from the factory.

Can you post a pic ? Sounds like yours got the plate in question ?

Sure. When I get home this evening, I will crawl under there and take a couple.

Same as stated above, my 2023 Platinum FX4 didn't have the fiberboard or anything but I was installing the Talons full kit anyway. Nobody is stealing my catalytic converters!

Sorry. I had to work late last night. Here are pictures of both.

No , it does not appear you have it . There is another piece that almost connects from this silver one over the transmission. Some have felt bib and some have plates as you know. I dont show you have anything there.

So what are the metal plates in the photos?

silver one is front area of engine
the curved one is for transfer case
and the long rippled one is the fuel tank
you are missing the felt diaper thing

the felt cover is a sound deadening cover. I always thought it was dependent on trim level.

Good idea to up the underside protection! I replaced all my FX4 stuff with RCI plates. If anyone needs an FX4 skid lmk!
