2024 Platinum Uncamouflaged

As a Platinum owner, I really hate the addition of the letters on the hood. Also, surprised they ditched the tailgate applique. It has been on the Platinum since Gen 12. I also am not a fan of the 22" wheels. This basically looks like a Limited without the uber nice leather. I would not get a Platinum after refresh.

Posted that in the grille thread. Best looking of the 2024 grilles to me.

I don't know what they are thinking with the taillights. I know current gen has lot of wasted space on the side but I'm not loving the weird design. Looks like it might be same size I can see people swapping those to go back a generation.

Agree the letters are dumb. Chevy does that on lot of vehicles too but they can be easily removed. I assume same with the Ford letters.

Ford emblems look a little funny. Almost like they’re lit up white?

tailgate thing missing might just be because its a mule test truck
wheels are hard to tell as they are spinning

the grill sort of IMO harkens back to the gen 13
and drl leds look broken up

The emblems illuminate. First time I saw the rear one, the fronts are certainly what they've already been offering. Their fit and finish just don't look that good IMO. That white illuminating rear may be illegal. Some countries can't have the front illuminated logo either.

looks like the bed camera has been added back

Seems like the Limited trim may be discontinued.

Rear is red as a marker light not white because yeah that's illegal. I agree they don't look as nice as regular Ford emblem.

Yes, I have a '21 Limited, and those front letters were the first thing to get removed after removing the dealer badge on the back. Heat gun on low, some lite monofilament fishing line, and Goof-Off for the residual glue.

As for the 24 styling, I am not a big fan of the things y'all have outlined. I, too, like the grill, but the DRLs and headlights are terrible. The taillights look really weird. I can't tell for sure if those are 22" wheels, as they sure do not fill the wheel well like the 22s on my truck. They look more like 20s to me, but who knows.

This is the best looking Platinum yet, in my opinion. Black Appearance Package will make it look even better!

I'm glad I have my truck, can't say I'm a fan of the changes... Is that a Nissan...

It looks like the rear bumper has been combined into a single piece instead of two bumper caps. I guess that's one way of cutting down the number of parts on the truck.

After looking more at the illuminated logos on the tailgate, they had to ditch the applique if they wanted to add illumination to the Platinum as the Plat tailgate currently does not have that large Ford logo on the tailgate, just a smaller one at the bottom right.

We can also safely add Rapid Red to the 2024 color wheel, not that we doubted it would be there. I am sure that Agate Black, Oxford White, Rapid Red, Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray, Iconic Silver, Race Red, Star White will be on every Gen 14 truck. The rest may rotate.

the good news on those letters is that they come off very easily w/ an eraser wheel....
