Product Overview
Matte-black grilles hide small road marks better than high-gloss finishes, but the real fitment issue on a 2021-up F-150 is the equipment mounted in and behind the grille. Camera, emblem and active-shutter layouts have to line up with the replacement.
If the grille was damaged in a collision, inspect the shutter frame and upper radiator support before installing the new shell. A twisted support can make a correctly molded grille look like it is the wrong size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit every 2021-2023 XLT?
The outer body fits the generation, but camera/emblem/shutter provisions must match the truck’s equipment.
Why would a new grille not line up after a crash?
The bumper, shutter frame or upper support can be shifted even when the old grille took most of the visible damage.
