I think that C clamp grille looks better in chrome trim. But I love the Lariat grille the best so far.

I see the projectors as well, so as I figured it would be part of the Lux Package, or even a standalone check box option. We will have to see when the order guide comes out.

I have to agree that I am not too excited about the C-clamp grille on the FX4. It looks okay to me on the XLT. At least the new Lariat grille looks really good. Hopefully they won't change the Platinum too much. Can't wait to see!

I cant wait to see the rest of the trim levels as well.

Well, if someone doesnt like that FX4 grille, they can either swap it with the XLT version, or they can get the other trim level grilles, depending on their taste.

I want to see those Alcantara inserts on the FX4 seats. I bet those look awesome.

Definitely projectors. Here is a pic from the levine page posted earlier-




Definitely not digging the c clamp grille on the Fx4. I really liked the 2011/2012 grille, along with the XLT chrome pkg grille from 2009-2012(basically the same, I know).

Man, that 2013 is sharp!! The grille is growing on me slowly, and I'll for sure be swapping head lights when they are available. My only complaint with my 12 is the headlight output..

I wonder what will become of the FX appearance package? I hope it stays in the line up for a while, I love mine! That c-clamp grille would look killer painted gloss black with the app package!!

The appearance package will still be there. The alcantara seats mentioned in the press release will be a part of that package.

The news was hill descent control standard on FX4 and the availibility of HID on FX4. Other stuff was for fleets.

Mike says Raptor news is coming later, but not next week. Look for more news when the order guides come out. Also, look for more news and interior pics of the new Limited. Then it is onto the 2014 for the last hurrah before the big change for 2015. There will probably be some special packages to make people want to buy the last 2014 and not wait for the 2015. It has been a long journey and a lot has happend since 2008 for the 09...6 speed, all new engines, Platinum, Raptor just to name a few.

Look for the big big news from here on out to be all about the next gen 2015 trucks and the spy pics.

Judging from the other pics above of the standard trim model Projectors and the size of the amber side marker on the FX4 pictured, i'd say they probably are the real deal and done up in black too!

I wonder what changes are in store for the Raptor. Probably just some new colors.

From what little I have followed over on FRF, it looked like a few changes are coming..

The new sand/tan color "terrain" I think it was, optional factory bead lock wheels, and preliminary finds from Randy it looked like they have two package options; base model and loaded to the gills. Not certain of u can have one or the other or still pick and choose. There was also speculation of a third package, I haven't seen much more on it though. It will be pretty cool to see what all is there come reveal!! I'd still love to pick up a raptor as a BA toy!!
