No, it’s about the frames not the plastic screws that the OP said he had in his glove box.
My question was about the mount, not the frame. I don't want the dealer's frame though I'll give them the courtesy of showing it for a few months.

Usually the bumper angles don't allow a straight (and legal) mounting of the plate so, in modern vehicles, a plastic mount is included. I've had many dealers, over the years, pull it and pretend it didn't come - even in some cases where I saw it in the vehicle before dealer prep and they pretend it wasn't there.

So maybe what I need to know is if there is a front mount available. If there is, I'm going to push my dealer to give me one because, in my opinion based on previous experience, one was likely delivered with the vehicle.

Check your build sheets. Mine has it listed as standard equipment, labeled as “Front License Plate Bracket”.

Thank you. That answered the question. My build sheet has those same words.... Unfortunately, it has the word "Delete" in front of it: "Delete Front License Plate Bracket". That's not something I chose but, I guess, the dealer saved me a couple bucks by deleting it when they put in the order. I would never have deleted it. Deleting options saves you about 25% of what it will cost you to buy the option later.

Since Oklahoma is considering adding a front plate, I'd really like to have one. Now I'll have to negotiate with the dealer rather than insist on one.

It sounds like all trims except Tradesman have them, which is still strange for probably a minimal cost at the factory. Next, we might start responding by states that require a front license plate to see if it is based on the destination indicated on the order.

I have the bracket in Oregon and they require a front plate.

Optional here in NV. Was given one for my truck but the holes are not there on the front and since it’s not required there is no way I’m drilling them lol

Provide a sample link or image of WTF you're talking about (preferably in English instead of Klingon).

Do Ram trucks ship with a front license plate frame? In my glove box is a pack of screws that say they're for the license plate frame but there's no front frame. It's wouldn't be the first case where an Oklahoma dealer removed the shipped frame and kept it because Oklahoma doesn't use a front plate.

If it ships with the truck I want it.

I think you only get one if your state requires a front plate or not, or if your dealer order one with the order. Sometimes the Dealer Prep Department removes them. Only way I know to see if your vehicle was ordered with one is to check your BuildSheet out.

Here is a link to get your Build Sheet: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

Mine was listed on page 3. Check out my build sheet below:
