Ok. So that's what it's for. But why bolt it directly in front of a service item. I relocated mine to a stud on the lower left. Out of the damn way😁

They needed a space to put it, the space was there. Ease of routine service is not their problem. Just ask the 2.3 EB Ranger owners who have to take off a wheel and take apart the left front wheel well lining to....get to the engine oil filter.

Same idiots who designed the 17-22 trucks (and maybe the 23+ I do not know) to require partial disassembly of the dash, including removing screws, to change the cabin filter. First time I replaced that filter in my '19 I thought to myself "they have got to be kidding...."

Some people take them out once and never replace. Worked well without a cabin filter for years on vehicles. People that insist on cabin filters probably still walk around wearing a mask...or drive alone wearing one! LOL!

Better hope that stud isn't a torque to yield fastener...
