Speak for yourself. My car has a front socket for it. But, yeah, definitely check before you go getting bent out of shape about it being missing.

If your ST has it, you are one of the few. The majority I've seen with the cover removed do not have it. My ST is a late build. March of this year.

Yeah, key word .......... Countries! We are not included. Not a one of the several hundred PIU's I've seen at the N TX Skunk Works with the nose clips removed for light and push bumper installs has a threaded collar in the cross beam.

You are one of the lucky ones I guess. At some point, Ford made a running change. It is not on my ST nor, any of the PIU's.
