Default 2016 XLT 302a empty bolt holes?

Hey guys, noticed some empty bolt locations on the right & left side of the radiator tonite.

While walking by my truck, I happened to nice this. Can anyone with a 302a xlt Compare this to theirs, to see if these spots are lacking bolts on theyre trucks as well!

Not sure if this is right or not...

1st is a pic of the right side, the left side. You can see where theres a bolt clip, but no bolt in each location. Tia...

They make many components and wire bundles to to fit many trim levels. IT is cheaper than inventorying separate parts for each trim level.

I see you have a Lariat 502a, we have a XLT 302a!

Also I have oem Tow Package, no trans cooler, unlike my 12 with oem Tow Package, that came with a Trans Cooler!

Wonder what justifies, having a Trans Cooler or not on 15s and 16s? Heavy Duty Tow Package?
