Perhaps I missed them but I don't recall any posts about a missing front deflector.Checked my Platinum....no plate. It does have the front deflector that is missing on some of the STs
ThanksI noticed the rear bumper a bit loose in the middle and realized this air deflector was not installed. It seems to add rigidity to the bumper installation as well! View attachment 177129
Look on the lower part of the pillar when the drivers door is open. It will indicate what the tire pressures should be there will be a date there also under the bar code.

See you a from Prescott
I am from Tonopah, AZ
Purchased our ST from Jones Ford in Buckeye
Was built at the Chicago Assembly Plant
Wonder if it is Assembly plant related
It takes quite a while for most of those sites to update part numbers for a new model year. Even the one I commonly use, AutoNation Ford, has only added a few parts recently.BTW How are you finding the parts list
Each ford parts site I go to does not list the body parts for my ST
Welcome to the Forum.Picked up my ST a week ago, build date 11/12/19, no deflector and like everyone else no tow hook. Emailed dealer on Friday, both parts ordered yesterday, no hassles no questions.
If you look at the first post, the part is described as being for the ST among others.For those with the deflector on the ST, do you notice if it hangs low enough to effect ground clearance? I'm wondering if it is not installed because the ST has the lowest departure angle of the 4 trims, assuming because of the different suspension setup. The ST and Platinum also have higher minimum ground clearance specs than the XLT and Limited, ST has the highest. Installing it may change the intended specs, who knows. I'm not convinced it is supposed to be installed. Those with it may be the fluke. I also noticed the poster with the deflector on the ST doesn't look like the ST street pack or high performance pack is installed.

The exhaust system and a few other parts are lower than the air deflector so I doubt ground clearance would be an issue.
