I have a 2022 longhorn I bought it in Arizona . I live in California I need to mount a front plate . the bumper has 3/8" drill in it. what to use to attach the front plate. I have searched the forum with no results. I have tried the square nylon inserts they don't work in a round hole.

I had to replace the front license plate bracket, because when they installed my front plate they stripped both holes by using a zip gun screwdriver.

Buy a front plate mount that bolts on then add your plate. They’re available via Amazon for $16.00.

Your truck should have come with a front bracket. I am in Alberta, we don't need front plate, my 2021 truck still had the bracket and mounting gear. Look under the front and rear seats and in the in-floor bins in the back seat. Mine was under the drivers side rear seat, along with the owners manual.

Ask your salesperson at the dealership, I believe the vehicle should come with a mounting kit/bracket or they may provide one if you ask for it.

They do not necessarily send the front plate all the time. We get many stock vehicles without them. Anytime I place a sold order, I always include it.
I agree with crash, get with your salesman, he should be able to help you out. I have done this before for customers in Texas that require a front plate.

You know he can ship it to a nearby dealer, or there is always UPS.
