Did you check out the '14 sierras? Some of them I really like.
I have looked at the Sierra believe me... i LOVE that interior! not super crazy about the body style they went with but i bet i could get over that ( because they do look pretty awesome lifted which ill do eventually anyway ), but I figured I would give the ford a shot for what i paid I think i got a good deal both on the one i bought and the one i traded in and worst case if i dont like it the 15 sierras will be out soon and i figured id snoop around for a good 14 used. That being said so far this F150 has been fantastic and the gas mileage over my Sierra is quite different. Mine is showing me 288 miles till empty at the current rate and I still have a little over half a tank... where my sierra no matter how gently i went on the throttle would get pretty close to empty by 275-300.

There's a link to a guy selling one for around $300 shipped in here. May not be the 2013 grille but I imagine it would fit

Keep us updated on that. I'm kinda wondering how it got there also. Probably something as simple as the previous owner liked the XLT grill better.

If you're going to do a new grill you should do a colormatched surround with either the Platinum or the Tremor insert..
