I went to get a 2013 FX2 and when i saw the new headlights i couldnt make myself like it. I like projector bulbs and the idea but the FX package is to much black on the front end (for me) and was a wash.

If they redid the headlights with a little more chrome/refined look it would help out alot. I ended up walking out of there with a 2012 5.0 FX2 and couldnt be happier.

If that lariat grille was PTM surround with grey inserts it would easily be the best looking fx4 grille ever. It's plastic anyway, if you sanded it you could probably be able to paint it up....

Since 09, the only grille I have really liked is the Harley grille. I don't really appreciate chrome, but the Harley grille is very tastefully done.

All the others, I can personally do without.

I see lots of peeps saying "its growing on me" or "I am getting used to it".

Why the hell can't Ford make grilles that will catch your eye the first time you see it. So when you see it for the first time you see it you say "WOW" or you do a double take. You should not have to "get used to it". Ford has taken a beautiful truck and on some models like mine, 2010 FX4, made the front look like crap

I think Ford should revisit the 04 - 08 grilles and go from there

Just my $0.02....

And BTW.... I still love my truck............just hate the grille

New to the site! I just picked up my 2012 FX4 yesterday. As soon as I saw the grill on the 2013 and price increase i bought the 2012. I do love the HID's and 8 in. screen but in the end I chose the 2012

It basically looks like the platinum grill but black unfinished plastic, although i see alot of potential for customizing!

You have it right, everyone gets emotional when you call the truck ugly, I will be honest, if you drink enough, things do look better, maybe next time I see the truck, I will have my beer goggles on!
