Picked up a 2023 powerboost Lariat today

[stlgrym3]

First time owning a truck if any brand. Super excited. I was glad I test drove the Lariat, felt much smooth on street than the XLT with all terrain tires. Any suggestions for Raptor style grille? There are ton of them on Amazon, but I need something more OEM, does Ford parts dept actually sell them for non-Raptor F150s?

Glad you like the truck. However, it's the same wheels, tires, suspension, drive train as an XLT. The better ride is psychosomatic.

Eh the FX4 could be the difference, i believe the shocks are softer.

I think its more that OPs came with the 20 inch wheel option which look to come with more of a street tire than than the 18s. Granted its a standalone option for sure.

Congrats.. bought mine at Fullerton Ford as well.

OEM Ford Raptor grill is not a direct replacement. I have seen a coupe guys mention this version or check with some of the forum sponsors.

thanks, you got good eyes on the dealership name LOL. i have 2nd thoughts on the Raptor grille, it just doesn't look right without the wide track body of the real Raptor. going to stick with OEM for now.

You may also see a few guys out the Black Appearance package (BAP) grill as well. Which is on my truck

that's a more subtle look than the Raptor grille. is that a straight swap with my Lariat Sport appearance package grille?

 

[PBoost]

Should be a direct swap from what I have seen.

The front parts of the grille pop out -- you can just remove them and paint them gloss black.

Could be the FX4 shocks, different leaf pack, heavier weight, different tire pressure, and / or better seats
