2023MY and Front Grille

[Wablackwell22]

Hi all, I'm trying to verify that a Ford Performance or Tremor Grille will fit on my 2023. Every website only shows them for the 2019-2022 years, but I'm almost certain that there is no difference between the 2022s and the 2023s. I asked the guys at Levittown, and they said that Ford Performance hasnt cleared them for the 2023 models yet, that they dont see why it wouldnt work, but couldnt be sure. Was wondering if any of you learned folks had any insight?

I can't verify myself about your grille question, but I can understand your caution. I ordered a Cravenspeed stubby antenna off of Amazon, said 2019-2022. I have a 2023 and thought it'd be ok, doubt anything changed. Well it didn't fit and after almost 2 weeks of back and forth with Cravenspeed (whose customer service is excellent) I actually found an old stubby in my tool box that worked, so I sent it all back.

Just looking at the new 6G stock grille it's not the same outline shape as the 5G ones. So high probability they're not interchangeable

The American 2023 is still the 5G. The 2024MY is the official start of the 6G Ranger

Ok then you should be safe then.

I have a 22 and installed the FPG no issues. I don't think there's any change to MY 23.

I have a question about the ford performance grill that wasn't worth posting alone. Is the outer bezel interchangeable with the oem xlt grill? I have the chrome package and want to keep the shiny parts.

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Yes.

Sort of. I used the gray outer bezel from my Tremor with the Ford performance grill. I had to dremel cut a couple notches in the new grill to get them to fit but you cant see it when they are mated together.

Edit: I see you have an XLT. I have a Lariat. Not sure of differences but someone else said yes, so yes.

Do you have any better pictures of this? Or this process?

I am currently trying to decide between keeping my Tremor grill and adding black emblems (front and rear) or going with the Ford Performance grill. I was originally set on the FP grill, but I have now been leaning towards keeping the OEM grill due to its carbonized paint (matching rest of truck trim).

Hmm. I guess I didn’t take pictures. It was very easy. Two little slits in the black FP grill and then mash them together. I love the look.

That looks great. I think I'll give it a shot sometime soon. I don't mind a little dremel work if needed.

Wow! That looks good! Ugh, and basically just this morning I had decided to keep the Tremor grille and go with black emblems... but this looks great, and I don't mind a little grille work if its not too bad.

This has become just as hard of a decision for me as between the BAK and TruXedo tonneau cover... ahh!
