I have never run with a front plate on 2511, and over 50,000 miles of driving.
(Same for my F-150’s the last 25 years)
I did receive a no front plate fix-it ticket many years ago, but it was an add-on to the speeding charge. 😉
I hadn’t heard it is now no longer a freebie but a $200 fine. Whatever, I’m good with that.
