2018 XLT, Raptor grille swap

[Mfernandez]

Ive been looking online trying to find a raptor grille for my 18 explorer XLT. Some sites say the grille fits years 15 to 18 but then the companys message me and say it will not fit the XLT model. Does anyone know the difference in why specifically the XLT will not work compared to the base or limited 18 models?

Welcome to the Forum.
I don't know why but looking at one of the Ford parts sites, it seems that the 2018 XLT grille is a bit different than a 2017 XLT grille. The 2017 will fit the Base, XLT and Limited whereas the 2018 grille specifies the XLT only. It would appear that the 2018 XLT is unique in some way.
