PickupTrucks:2013 SD gets new grill

I don't see it...Looks the same to me.What's your take on it?

I have heard that the 2014 SD was gonna be completly redesigned,But if their putting a new grill on for '13,I can't see them doing another new design a year later.

The idea of opening/closing louvers in the grill is interesting.

Me either

I do not see a significant change in these photos either. The bumper does look different - more so than the grille, but not strikingly so - could be due to the body color bumper I put a picture of a 2012 side-by-side with these pics and frankly don't see anythign really different. Maybe more discerning eyes than mine can.

Probably just an even bigger FORD emblem with led lights in it that revolves...

I am not seeing any noticeable change on the picture, but my eyes aren't the greatest anymore either.

The two bars are still there and appear chrome.
Can also see the edges of the brackets ( [ ] ).
I don't know what the writer means the cover blew off...looks attached to me!

I was going to comment on that site but then I remembered I don't actually want to participate in that mess.

If you look at the ground, you'll see tarp-like material, presumably being the cover that was over the vehicle. I don't see a difference though, it still looks big and shiny and uses up the chrome quota for the entire vehicle. Maybe it's what's behind it.

Exactly,I think the cover by the drivers side tire on the ground is what their talking about.That is what probably blew off the truck in the wind.

If you look really closely at the left (passenger) side of the grill, right above the bumper, it looks like it protrudes forward where the current grills are flush. Almost like an open parenthesis outside of the smaller open parenthesis. It now looks like it's a [C= ] design (I don't know how to do a backward "C" but it would go right after the equals sign). Maybe it's a multi-piece grill now?

Does it keep water from entering the HPFP? That is all I want to know.
