4X4 sticker?

I have a 4X4 Lariat without the FX4 off road package on order. Will it come with the (silly) sticker?
I don't want it on there, and the dealer doesn't seem to think that it can be deleted, but says they can pull it off if it's on there.
How hard is it to remove those stickers? Seems deleting would be the smart way to go, but what do I know.

Easily removed...warm it up with a hair dryer or heat gun and it'll peel right off.

Yes it will have the 4x4 sticker. A brand new sticker on a brand new truck will come off very easily with a heat gun or even a hair dryer.

I used mine to wipe the dipstick, didn't want to waste it.
Peels off on a warm day or hair dryer if you need to drive it right away and can't risk being seen.

Curious to know why the distaste for the sticker?

I took mine off. I think It looks cleaner and in my opinion the sticker cheapens the look.

Personally I don't like stickers on trucks. I was just being foolish with my comments for the other folks that hate stickers.

I pulled mine off in the middle of a New England winter with just a little heat from a hair dryer. A little cleaner/wax removed the rest of the adhesive residue and left no sign the stickers were ever there.

I had my truck ceramic coated right after I got it and asked the detailer if he would take them off. He said it was easy. I'm actually considering replacing it with a subtle American flag decal that almost matches the paint. The bed side is kind of a big, flat body panel so I understand why manufacturers add decals.

Easy to remove I replaced it with this one. Mitch better that the red on my magnetic truck. Hair dryer and it peels right off.

I’m just not a fan of stickers over paint. Probably comes from my experiences with poor quality stickers back in the day, especially pin stripe stickers that didn’t play well with waxing, and if left on too long would leave a subtle shadow of less faded paint. And that one crappy post minor collision paint job where they actually painted over a stripe, then stuck new stripe over that!!😡
Yes, today’s decals are much much better quality plastic/vinyl than decades ago, but still not paint quality. And still has a wax catching edge. Now if it were painted on and under the common clear coat, that might be different.

Kinda like boat boot stripes- if in the gel coat, fine. But stuck on- no thanks.

I think Ford used to do a great job with their stickers. The Bronco in this pic belongs to EarlyCobra but I used to have an ‘81 just like it. Kinda wish they’d bring something like this back.
