Back when I sold new Fords (sorry!) the cars automatically came with a front plate bracket if the car was going to a two-plate state. Not so for cars shipped to a one plate state.
There must be a manufacturer's part number for the front plate bracket. The selling dealer should order one and provide it to the OP as a courtesy. Exactly, all cars sold in the US are designed to run two plates. If your state doesn't require it you don't run it. However, the factory has the appropriate bracket and location for it. Had to do this with the BMW I bought a few years ago. And even has the ability to run a front and rear Euro style wide/low front/rear license plate. Lots of American vehicles that can mount a European style license plate if sold overseas (i.e., Jeeps) front and rear.

Missouri allows one plate on year of manufacture plates for 1971 and older since that’s all that were required in those years.
Anything 1972 and newer requires two with the exception of trucks running 18,000 pound or heavier plates.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

N.J. requires two plates but I thought I read they might consider only going to one. I have QQ ( historic ) plates on my 92 D150 and I only have the rear plate as I have a custom plate on the front , I also heard that with historic plates you only need a rear plate in N.J. I don't know if its true on not , I don't drive the truck much maybe to an occasional cruise night , show or I bracket race it sometimes. I haven't been pulled over or questioned about it . On my daily driver Honda HRV the front plate mounts right in the middle of the grille which looked really ugly , I moved the mounting bracket down lower under the middle of the bumper and it looks much better, I don't know why they couldn't do that at the factory.

Washington State is a two plate state, except for Collector Car Plates. I still run a pair on my YOM registered cars because I think it looks better ND is similar with Antique license plates (Pioneer Plates) for vehicles at least 40 years old and NOT used for business or farm transportation. No front plate required. In fact one of my Bud's with a Buick GS has a front plate that reads "Student Driver".
