Product Overview
A broken grille after a parking impact, missing mounting tabs, peeling chrome, or a front-end refresh can all lead to the same replacement. The gloss-black finish also gives the Explorer a cleaner monochrome look without painting the original insert.
This upper grille follows the 2016-2017 front fascia shape. Explorer trim packages can use different cameras, emblems, moldings, shutters, and finishes, so compare the complete front view, tabs, openings, and interchange before ordering. Accessories may need to be transferred.
