I feel the same way. I went to the dealer today to make a deal on the truck in the top picture. It has just about everything I wanted, except those fancy heated/cooled seats and console. But once I saw the awkward look of the front with the plate on the side. I said, NO EB for me.

I figure it this way. If Ford felt the need to relocate the plate. How the heck would this truck respond to adding my plow.
