I can't tell you it would fit your 23 PB. I believe the 23 frame is same frame as the 2021, but I'm not 100% sure. Let's hope someone else in the forum will answer you that has installed it on 23. I could measure the distance between the side mounting bolts if that helps. Do you have the frame openings and if so, do you have the nuts that slip in and down? The passenger front side frame opening is hidden by the coolant tubes btw.

It should fit both the '23 PowerBoosts with the modifications mentioned on pages 5 and 11. @bushpilot if you take your truck to the dealership for oil changes, it's possible that they removed the fiberboard cover and never reinstalled it.

Looks like on 2.7 I'll have to remove it every oil change, but I'm seeing same with all the aftermarket plates.

My old truck I threw away the fiber board first winter and went 12 years without anything. Cat thieves hit us at work twice on work trucks so this has been on my mind now getting some sort of protection. It won't stop someone determined, but it will slow them down on the drive by jobs I've seen in videos posted online.

i like mine for several reasons
it has helped to humanely kill a racoon at 65 ish mph
its slows down the cat thief, lurking at the mall ...
and it provides road DEBRIS protection which has been used a few times already. made a hell of a noise and thud, but truck was OK

as for mud and rocks...we shall see if i get the hog lease this year

I'm online with a cart on Fairway Ford (bought from them online before) and Ford Parts website.

I leave the cart open on both websites and leave my phone for a minute to do something.

I come back and I get this message on my screen from Ford. Puts local dealer under Fairway pricing.

$149 local pickup with two extra nuts/bolts because Ford Parts sells in 4 pack.
$162 Fairway Ford shipped

I did not create an account as it says on the promo. Never had one and I've used website before with same dealer that is slightly under MSRP on parts. Not sure but maybe could use it again if it pops up. ?
So I suggest to everyone just put everything in your cart and leave it there for a while. You might get the same "abandoned cart" promo. :)

I didn't get the oil drain skid plate. $49 for such a small plate. I wanted to see how the main skid plate mounted to make sure I didn't have any issues. Here is a pic of the opening to access the oil drain plug. I may just go and order the oil skid plate soon.
