Do '24 models have glossy grills?

[lightspeed]

It seems from pictures that the grills on the '24s are darker and glossier than the '23s which are kind of flat and grey.

Has anyone seen a '24 in person who can confirm?

You're probably looking at the Platinum trim. In all MY 22-24 only the Platinum comes in Vader Black.

I think "Vader" means chipped in Mandarin.

I'm so glad I didn't order the Platinum!

I can't see the chips from the driver's seat but I can sure feel the back massage!

Remember, each trim has a different grille and there were downgrades for 2024. This is from order guides and online Build & Buy. So yeah, a XLT & Flash would seem darker since they have the same grille as the Pro now.

	2022-2023	2024
Pro	Carbon Black	Carbon Black
XLT	Geometric Gray-ion fine Satin Metallic	Carbon Black
XLT 312A/Flash	Geometric Gray-ion fine Satin Metallic	Carbon Black
Lariat	Premium Geometric Gray-ion fine Satin Metallic	Premium Geometric Gray-ion fine Satin Metallic
Platinum	“Vador Black” High Gloss with Tinted Chrome	Premium Geometric Gray-ion fine Satin Metallic

So the 2024 Lariat does have the same gloss black grill as the platinum? That's what it looks like in pictures.

The Vader black from the 23 Platium is the best looking grille. I wonder how much it is from ford

No, the opposite I think according to the guides. The Lariat grill has always been a Gray Satin Metallic. For 2024, the Platy lost it's Vader black grill and uses the Lariat silver grill. But a '24 Lariat owner can confirm.

So Ford has reduced the number of grill choices from 4 to 2.

Ugg yeah, I misread the table.

Looks like Vader Black was removed altogether.

I'm just looking at options to make the grill look more like a conventional F150 or just better in general.
