I see you're in Utah. What kind of mileage are you getting? Mine does great, an\bout 20%-25% better than my '08.

Be careful. UHP said they'll enforce 80MPH pretty strictly. We drive 82MPH in our 528i, and get 32MPG. Heading to the Black Hills on a road trip in the new Expy soon, we'll probably keep it between 72-75MPH. Not in a hurry.
Lol. I live in southern Utah. I don’t even get a second look at 83 in any 75 or 87 in an 80. Mpg isn’t great but it’s a little better than my 16 Yukon Denali. I usually get 20 on cruise control driving to Vegas. I didn’t get this for mpg, but the sticker estimates are a blatant lie.

Did you end up plugging the holes? I want to pull off my front plate holder and am looking for the right plugs to make it look okay
I drove out to Tooele a bit ago, 24MPG. My last tank combined City/Highway was 22MPG. But you won't see that at 80MPH.

I had heard somewhere that EPA mileage was performed at something like 55mph. At that speed it’s no wonder the mpg would be so good.

There is an online vendor who sells painted to match "bumper plugs." I bought them for the wife's Lincoln when I took off the unneeded front license plate bracket. Plus side was that it was a perfect match to the white Platinum bumper. They're kinda pricy nowadays. I recall that they used to be cheaper...I mean they're just everyday Dorman push plugs with paint.Did you end up plugging the holes?

Did you replace the upper piece on the bumper? I don't see a plug or hole in that piece? Did I miss something? Pulling my license plate holder off and want to know how to clean that hole up without a plug if I can.

I located a 2018 Expedition with all the options we wanted, but it was an out of state dealer trade. At my insistence, my dealer replaced both affected parts of the bumper that had holes from the front plate bracket. The only challenge was that the new parts arrived unpainted from Ford, so the dealer had a body shop paint the two new parts to match. Quite a bit of hassle, but I plan to keep the vehicle for 10 years and wanted it to be right.

Still have the air dam off. Still don't miss it. I guess I will see how we do over winter. Doubt it will ever go back on.
Our new Max was at the dealer getting a few things adjusted and I had them remove the license plate holder. They were suppose to just leave the holes open until I decided if I was going to paint some plugs before installing but they went ahead and installed the plugs. It looks much better either way, so I think I am going to use a silver paint pen and see how that turns out.
Must be nice not living in a state that requires front plates,
Have you seen C5 vettes with mandatory front plates.... Kills the looks, just ruins the whole aerodynamic look!
6th gen monte Carlos too have thos problem going for them
The expedition looks 10x better without a front plate!
