Amazon has what you need. That's where I got one for my truck.

Thanks Stewart. Of course Amazon says it don't fit a 2005 X. Now if I could only find an "Excursion" chrome front license plate.

I've had zero cooling issues with the front hitch, plate and lights in place.

I had meant to say "Here's the one I got" when I posted the link, figuring it would give you a starting point on trying to find yours. I didn't mean to leave the post blank, making you feel it was a one size fits all.

Don't forget, most aftermarket front bumpers are completely solid up front, eliminating that space, and people have zero cooling issues.

Amazon says this one doesn't fit either. I am not sure if they are correct on everything or not.

The super duty and excursions have the same bumper. Read the description. Amazons catalog is not the greatest.
