If there are some other Limited owners, I sure would like to meet them and ask a few questions.
Thanks!
BlackdogTX - try this link, it's a different forum, but it's a good read and you both have something in common.

Next question. My limited did not come with a front license plate. Bracket. Does anybody know where I can get one or even what the part number is?

Thanks for the information. I just ordered one from that supplier. Can you advise how that mounts to the bumper? Are there holes already in place or will I have to drill them? My Limited came from Georgia where they don't need a front plate. In Texas we have to have one.

Default Heres another Lariat Limited question

Here's another question that I would like some opinions on. As tires are going to be pretty expensive for my Limited (planning ahead for when I need to replace them), I wanted to get some opinions from other Limited owners, as to which tires they like for their ride. I am wanting to stay fairly close to the stock size, but am interested in if you stayed stock with the Pirelli's or went to another brand and why?
Thanks in advance for your input.

No license plate bracket needed on the Limited or harley editions. If you look closely at the black grill in bumper you will see four tiny indents... thats where you put the screws for the plate.

I put Bridgstone dueler at rhs on my truck. 285/45/22. Nice tire but the pirellis are a better tire for road handling and grip on the street.
You gotta decide what type of tire you want....street/summer or all terrain.
A lot more choices for tires in the 285/45/22 size.

Thanks. I had Michelin LTX's on my old supercrew as occasionally I would pull my trailer out of the horse pasture. But the Limited will not be doing any more offroading than that. I like the idea of 285's do they fit well?

My plate is screwed right into the black plastic part of the bumper. I also upsized to 305/45R22 Nitto Terra Grapplers as i wanted a A/T tire...I love the look.

Congrats on the Limited, I sure love mine!

Heres a few photos of mine if it helps. (don't mind the dirt)

Yes. No problems with 285's.
