Different Platinum wheels

This is only curiosity since I’ve read about people’s center caps falling off. My 2017 Platinum doesn’t have center caps so I started looking around and noticed that ford.com only shows wheels with center caps.

What determines if your factory platinum wheel has center caps or not?

Front wheels don't have a center cap for the Auto/Manual locking hubs.

Yours doesn’t have center caps? Purchased used? Like they said above, the rear has a full center cap that says Ford and the fronts have the cut out for the locking hub.

Front

They all have center caps, just the ones for the front tires have the opening for AUTO and MAN locking hubs. I had to pop them all out and switch them when rotating the tires.

Mine don’t look like that. It was purchased brand new and the only “center cap” is the one on the rear that says Ford.

I’ve got the high capacity tow package, so I guess my wheels are different because of the F350 rear end. I had never noticed before!

I’m pretty sure that is what yours should look like. You think something is missing?

Nope. I was just curious about what package determined whether you get one piece or center caps and people talk about giving the center caps a good whack before driving off the lot. I’m kind of glad mine don’t have the center caps...1 less thing to fall off.

Trucks with the Dana 275 rear axle get the 20" pop-off center cap type wheels. F250 Diesels with HCTP and F350 SRW Diesels.
