Default Front Tow Hooks on a 4x2

Does anyone know if the factory tow hooks on new, 2016 F150 4x4's would fit on a new 4x2?

I ordered a 4x2 but would like to have the tow hooks up front. I was wondering if the bolt holes to mount the hooks would be there on the 4x2.

Thanks.

Yep, I put them on my 4x2, had to get the 4x4 lower valance for the cutouts. Probably have to do the same thing with 16.

Before and after...

I can confirm this.

I put a sport bumper on my 2016 FX4 last night. The donor truck didn't have front tow loops, and mine does. The lower valances are completely different.

Thanks.

Thanks.
Got the hooks from ebay, the mounting hardware from a local Ford dealer and the Valence I ordered from an internet vendor, can't remember who, Was a long time ago. All new parts.

Google the 4x4 valance then look for best price and be sure you scrutinize the shipping cost. The size of the valance some people will charge as much for shipping as the panel itself.

Default 2021 Lariat 4x2 Tow Hooks

I'm wanting to put tow hooks on my 2021 Lariat. Anyone have any advice on what needs to be done to do this? Can the factory do it?
The black plastic trim where the tow hooks would go on a 4x4 is covered up.

​​​​​​​That's weird, I thought everything above an XLT came with tow hooks.
