what if you can afford a dozen raptors but want the towing capacity of an XLT?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion either way...for me I think it's 100% badass. Here's another opinion...I'm guessing that a good majority of people would say it's a (y) versus a (n).


BTW - for me the grille on the Lariat is the weakest link in styling for the gen14...I wish the sport trim had some sort of mesh grille like on a STX or Raptor variant (to me that is "sportier").

I know this was time/labor intensive and I think it paid off. It looks really good and is unique, currently, on a 2021. I read that the engineers/designers were very intentional about styling the front end of the new Raptor (and if I am not mistaken, the Tremor) in such a way as to virtually eliminate the ability to swap a factory 14th Gen Raptor grill onto a non-Raptor truck. The aftermarket will launch something, of course, and we have clearly seen from this post that it can be custom done. But, Ford wants to do everything it can to give Raptor buyers a unique truck.

As a guy that had a Raptor and is still on Raptor forms most Raptor owners do find it annoying. But everyone is also entitled to do what they want and give the middle finger to those who disagree.

I've ordered the lights for my KR. Can you post a pic showing them without the lights on so we can see how you mounted them?

If you search a little you will find his actual build/install. It was very elaborate...not just a bolt-on wiring job...thus the pretty awesome OEM-like look.

Been awhile since I was last on here. Thought I share a pic of the setup at night with the ambers.

I just picked up a 2021 Lariat. How did you make the grill? Looks like STX grill but how did you get lettering and amber lights on it? Did you buy last gen grill and swap stuff? Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Ordered a Platinum last Sept and still waiting. Now I wonder if I should cancel and wait for the Raptor. Sure looks good.

Does any body know if you can order it with a Power boost engine or fully recline seats?

The first iteration of the gen 3 raptor will only be the HO 3.5L eco boost. No powerboost at launch anyways. Not sure on the fully recline seats.

Seems some are jealous of your grill....looks great to me!

Now, if the grill said "Raptor" I could see the animosity but, your not stating anything but who the truck is built by.

Nice job!
