Interesting piece of info;

My dealer said they get many back on warranty and hold them in parts to see if Ford wants them back. If Ford doesn't ask for them back, they're thrown away.
My grille was free.
Paid for the installation only

So you are saying the xlt appearance package grille is the same as the lariat grille but the xlt grille they paint the whole thing black over red? If that is what your saying then do they have a xlt appearance grille with front camera provisions?

What part did you need to buy to complete the lower part of the grille? I ordered the OEM bumper but it looks like I need to order that piece. Help?

Did you order the OEM raptor grille? If so, what did you add to the bottom of the Grille? I have a 2017 Lariat and bought the OEM raptor grille. It looks like I Need the lower valence par and don't know what to get.

AOAM, I believe most are using the Galaxymoto or paramount aftermarket raptor grilles over the oem. See this thread for the OEM raptor grille > https://www.f150forum.com/f118/yet-a...359333/index3/

Ive seen one other also with the bottom section left bare. Might want to just go the aftermarket route.
