PickupTrucks:SD Gets New Grill For 2013

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.

Hard to tell behind the cover...maybe a mid run cosmetic update. Or just a random picture of a bad winter cover in a Walmart parking lot?

See I thought at first when they said cover,I too just saw the grill cover....I'm thinking that their taking about the cover laying on the ground by the drivers side tire.I think the whole truck was coverd?

It looks like they are still going with those BUTT UGLY [ ] cheek pieces on the grill that looks like this [=o=] with that big pizza pan sized FORD Blue Ovule in the middle. The after market will have a big pay day replacing that grill. IMHO

Looks like a King Ranch without the two-tone paint job front end. In fact, the body color front bumper lessens the impact of the massive chrome grille, I hope they change that for 2013 or make it an option.

I have been told it is pretty common for a auto mfg to update the front end just prior to a major over haul to test the cooler effect and such of the up coming cosmetic change.

I hope Ford tweaked the engine a little to get as much torque as the 6.2L in the F150.

Looking for new truck.

Yep. These are the same goofballs that took a "spy" picture of an XL work truck with a boss plow mount and said Ford was playing with them with that prototype with a boss motor. Another slow news day...
