2025 Tremor Skid Plate Question - New Owner

[NCLife]

My first post here. Just picked up a used 2025 F150 Tremor with 3k miles on it and I noticed there was no bash plate under the front of the engine. I have the modular bumper. Is there not supposed to be a bash plate? I can't find pics of the stock underside to tell. Check out the pic. Thanks for the help.

looks like you're missing the damn bash plate...but i'm not familiar with the newer 25's

Someone yanked your sh*t. Go talk to your seller if they're reputable.

I just texted the sales guy. I picked it up Saturday. Small town dealership, I hope they'll make it right.

You bought it used? If so, not sure the dealer will give you one. Previous owner may have removed it for some reason.

Agreed. They may tell me I bought it as is. We'll see.

At least they were nice enough to leave the bolts and mounts...

Well, the bolts are in the holes.
Common sense says some dip shit removed it probably for an oil change or some maintenance

I highly doubt your dealer is gonna do anything to help you with this. You bought it without the splash pan installed, that’s on you.

Good luck with getting one from the dealer for free....

I'm hoping they left it off when they changed the oil and or the prior owner who is long time client of their may have it. Hope springs eternal. We'll see.

So. Many. Trucks. From. Canada. I've seen them piece mealed together.

Hopefully, yours is not.

Most likely the dealership removed it to do an oil change or inspection and the tech forgot to reinstall. Hope you get it back.

So for those who care or need closure, they took it off because the tires rubbed on the bash plate. Prior owner put on 35” Toyo Open Country M/T’s which I am removing Saturday. I’m replacing them with Falken wild peak AT4W’s. I ordered 35s as well but now that I know they were rubbing and the guy told me they put a small quarter inch spacer in, I am going to downsize. So at least I have the bash plate back which they have for me.

New question now - I’ll certainly do some searching in the forums here, but does anybody know offhand the largest tire size I can go without rubbing and no need for a spacer, on stock wheels? The guy did replace the coil overs in the front with a slightly lifted one that leveled it out. Any additional help appreciated thanks in advance.

This is what Perplexity tells me-
On the 2025 Ford F-150 Tremor, the largest tire size you can run on the stock 18-inch wheels (typically 18x7.5 or 18x8) without any rubbing, trimming, or modifications to suspension or crash bars is generally:
• 295/70R18
• Diameter: About 34.3in
• Width: About 11.6in
This size has been used by many owners and confirmed by F150 Tremor forums as fitting perfectly without rubbing, even at full steering lock and when off-roading or flexing the suspension. It provides a much more aggressive look and feel compared to the OEM 275/70R18 (approx. 33in diameter).

This is the general recommendation for Tremors; I'll be doing the same next year. I'd just trim the bash plate if it gets in the way.
