2023 Grill Confusion

I know in the grand scheme of things, a truck's grill is not too hot of a topic. But the 2023 Super Duty grills take some getting used to.

I am preparing to order a new F450. I prefer the XLT but will go Lariat if I must. How do the grills differ from an XLT to the Lariat? Is there a way I can see exactly what I might be getting. I know this is a fairly vane topic and some may even call it petty. But if I am ordering a new truck, I want it to be exactly what I want. In the past, it was so easy to know what I would be getting because the trucks were everywhere. But 2023 SDs are still extremely hard to find. Even in pics online.

Just go to the Ford build a site page, choose to build a F450 and you will see all the models listed with pictures of the front ends.

I might be wrong but it seems to me that there is a slight difference between the build feature on Ford's website, and the ones that I see coming out in the Lariat trim.

Looked like there might be a horizontal run of plastic that is or is not included.

Ehhh. I just shrug it off knowing that I will not be able to see the difference while I am driving it towing heavy which is 99.99% of what matters to me. But I understand what you're saying. No sense in dropping $85k on something that you dont like the appearance of. For $85k a little robot better drop out of it and change it's own oil.

You and I are of the same mindset. Thanks.

For 2023, they are all ugly IMHO.
