Not sure why Ford opted to add Chrome to the grill? I mean I would understand on a chrome package, but to me, that grill looks horrible. It should have been an option, not standard on the XLT and Lariat. I am glad I got a 25. Thoughts?

I’m not a fan either. I’m happy with my 2025 lariat and a can of spray paint on the front valence.

I haven't seen one in person yet, and I'm generally not in favor of chrome, but the photos I've seen look good.

If you are referring to the 2026, it’s not an issue when selecting the Black Appearance package, which is the second option I selected on my 2025, right after the V6.

correct, but I am not a fan of the black wheels LOL my 25 is carbonized and the wheels on the XLT FX4 are a perfect match. The whole truck is color coded and pretty stealthy

Well, as soon as I saw the word Chrome I was ready to come say dislike.... but having had an open mind, I can now say firmly the chrome sucks and should not have been used. One of the conditions my wife made for her Ranger was had to have BAP. So glad she did!! :clap:
