That's a good question and the only thing I can figure out is that the bean counters at Ford must have seen it as a way to cut costs. Same way with the under hood insulation, wheelwell splashguards, etc. Funny how they delete equipment that was standard but raise the prices at least 3-6% or so every year isn't it? Love my truck but to replace it with a 2008 or 2009 model similarly equipped would be about $8k more than mine was in '04.

Kind of makes you wonder though, why they stopped putting them on all of the trucks and didn't just do something like the winter grill covers that are standard with trucks shipped to certain states.
