Default 6-bar vs. 3-bar XLT grille

I thought the 6-bar was the 2012 XLT grille, but my dealer has 4 or 5 2012s with 3-bars when I was in there for service, so I was wondering does the different grilles signify anything about the truck, or is it simply an aesthetic piece?

3 bar grille is a normal XLT. The 6 bar grille is added if the truck has the chrome package

yep, the 3 bar is the standard XLT grille, the 6 bar comes with what you americans call the chrome package and what us canadians call the XTR model.

I personally prefer the 3 bar grille .
