Hello. We have had this 2017 Lariat SuperCrew with the 5.0 for a little over a week. I know these do not come with the diaper that the Ecoboosts have, but looking through the front bumper, it looks like there is something missing. There is a plastic hole that looks like something should connect to it. Our truck does have the block heater. Should something be there? I don't like looking through those spaces on the bumper to see the ground and this plastic hole. Thanks.

 

A perusal of trucks at the Ford lot might tell more.

Somebody whom knows will answer shortly.

 

Should be some sort of splash shield under there I believe.
Not sure they omitted any parts in that spot for the 5.0.
I can't get to the front of my truck easily enough now to confirm what exactly is in that area.

 

looks like a splash shield that was removed
