Are these only on newer model super duty’s ?
Your 2019 had them. You'd really never know they were there unless you were doing something with the air dam.

FWIW, the air dam is pretty flexy. I've managed to catch it at least 3 times when hunting and it's still there and no worse for wear. I would like to get rid of it but it will be gone when I ditch the oem bumper in it's entirety.

Thats great to hear. Every time I look at it during hunting season all I can see is it hanging down and me lying in the snow or mud pulling the rest of it off.😆

When I had my 2015, I was taking my wife to work in a blizzard buckin drifts. After I dropped her off and came home, I seen my valance in my tire tracks! Got out and threw it in the back box. LOL. My 2022 valance is trimmed. Very easy job.

If anybody has an OE air dam off a 2017-2019 4x4 you don't want, I'll take it. Mine is cracked and busted up.

I have a 2023 4WD air dam that's available. Anyone that wants it can have it for shipping costs.

It's nice to read about a fellow FTE member who genuinely gives a dam!

I ordered the 2 WD 4” version, as I didn't want it to short.
I’ll follow up after install.

Well, she no, fit. The holes all line up, but the top shape near the center is completely different.
I had pulled the stock one off, and drove around for a day until I decided what to do.
Since the stock one was off and I had no plans on using it, I figured why not, so I cut it down.
Made it 4” high, and since the front had the curl I ran the cut into that. Figured I could always cut more.
I like it, it’s smaller, cut could have been better, but from where I sit, it looks great.
The other is going back.
A plus in leaving it at 4” is I left the Prius catchers on, and with the BAP package, everything is black so they blend in.
Barely noticeable if at all.

I think it came out pretty good. I like it. It’s 4”.
