Trying to find these bumper inserts...

[ThwopKing]

So... went to dealer to find these two inserts and they thought they ordered them but they came in as the tow hook surrounds and they can't find the part numbers for these actual ones. I would just yank them out and numbers off the back but the wife is out of town with the vehicle. Any one know anything?

In 2021 the right side cover is only removable if equipped with adaptive cruise control. It's part # JL1Z-17E811-AA. While the left appears to be a separate part, it is actually part of the lower grille and would require the complete piece to be replaced. That grille is JL1Z-17K945-BB if the truck has adaptive cruise control.

If the truck does not have adaptive cruise control, the grille is a single piece without any removable cover and is part JL1Z-17K945-AB.

At least this is what the part book says. It may be right, or it may not be. Good luck.

They are one piece of plastic not two, they are connected in the middle.

Oh dang thanks guys... one of mine has a small hole and crank from a rock and one has some discoloration to it like the dealership halfassed got wax on it and we do have adaptive cruise control.
Thanks again

When searching for oddball parts that aren't clearly outlined in Ford parts books, I check eBay, using the suspect part numbers for actual photos that better illustrate the part. Often the mounting arrangement and other views are shown also...

No wonder my ford parts girl could only find the one side small insert, the rest is the whole dang piece like you have pictured! Yeah, maybe I'll still replace it. Was just trying to pretty up the wife's, new to us vehicle.

Wait until you try prying those stupid tabs out... Ford couldn't have made it much more difficult. They are kind of "self locking". You'll get them if you work at them, but they will fight you every step of the way. I had my bumper cover off, on the workbench and it still took me 20 minutes to pry the little end thing out.
