Not sure but you can remove the panel on the inside of the tailgate and check it out.

Please let us know how this turns out. I much prefer the location of the emblem on the lower right side, if it has to be anywhere. I'd consider removing mine (when I get my truck) if it doesn't leave a big messy spot.

That's what I was wondering.

Sort of on topic, I saw a auction on Ebay to dress up that area. What do you think?


There is some other designs also.

I hate to say it but that's the one and only thing that I've found that I really don't like about the new F-150...

I don't mind that it's centered but, did they have to make it such a billboard?


My hunch is that it would be fairly easy to shave and fill the oval depression but, then that leaves the tailgate with no emblem... what then? I'd like to have one back there...

LOL, listen to me... I'm talking like I own one...

Has anyone removed the F150 on the tailgate? Is it just put on with adhesive? How about the one on the front fender? I would like to remove these and leave the blue oval since it will still have the oval in the tailgate.
