Default Is this the 2013?

Take a look at this new grill. Look at the area below the lower horizontal bar and compare it to the area above the bars. The lower area looks like a much finer grid, almost like a radiator or intercooler. Hmmmmmm. It's too early to tell, but it's odd they have 2 different grid sizes on the front grill.
This looks like a Lariat chrome package.

I think it looks good with that new grill, I also a see something hanging from the front bumper - possibly some type of plug, maybe... is this a diesel? Maybe just a hook up for a plow package?

Edit -I see the off set license plate, so ecoboost I assume- however do ecoboosts have some type of plug like that? Bad photshop, but the grill looks good

That would be a block heater plug, if I was to guess.

Thats clearly a photoshop job. I can tell the grill is from another truck.

The plug hanging down is the block heater cord.

Yeah it's an ecoboost...you can see the intercooler in the big hole in the bumber as well as the ecoboost tag on the door. And agreed...terrible PS job....look at the gash taken out of the left portion of the chrome part of the grill.

Yep. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

It was probably done by someone trying to interpret what they will look like based on these earlier spy shots. The spy shots are of a HD Payload package, on a XLT maybe? They definitely would use the same grill for XLTs and Lariats.
