Came across this today. Looks like there are already aftermarket options to mimic the "raptor style" FORD grille design. Truck looks to be an XL.

Hell they have them for explorers too. No shortage of people wanting to make their trucks look more high end.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

I'm curious as to if RTR will make a grill for the G6 Ranger. They were one of the first, if not the first, to make a grill for the Bronco. They make one for the G5 Ranger.

I am hopeful the NA next gen get the full raptor grill, with inserts to fill in the bumper after removing the X plastic over the top.

There's also the possibility that someone will step up and import or an Aftermarket company make the parts used on the G6 version that will be sold in China.

Personally, I think this is the front end the NA G6 should've received.

It's NOT about high end. It's about a more agressive or Sporty look. have had a Raptor style grille on my 2019 Lariat since a month after I bought it in Feb 2019. Can't get more High End that the Lariat at that point and it looks so much better than the lariat grille. Even Ford Sold them as an accessory item after the first year.

I would never put a DOOD grill on my truck, but what I do want is a nice aftermarket applique for the rear. I love the tailgates on my 18 raptor the most, and also love the platinum appliques on my 17 f350 dually, 21 f250, and 19 f150 diesel. Those are silver, so probably not on a raptor, but an oem looking black one for the RR would be great. I saw one online, but hated that the blue oval was still in the middle, makes it look cheap and not oem like the f150 raptors.

Assume you know DOOD is just the way they get around a Ford Trademark issue for their product.
