a particular option packageThis isn't the 'real' Lariat appearance, but a particular option package; ST/Lobo/whatever. So the comments hating the grille and wheels are a little overblown.
The regular Lariat supposedly will look like this:
The mid-cycle refreshment treatments hint at improving aero (wheels included). Could be aimed at enhancing CAFE numbers or (heaven forbid) an EV variant.We got a great look at another Ford Maverick prototype, currently suspected to be the new Lobo package trademarked by Ford. This particular Maverick shows off an all-new vertically-slatted grille, flanked by the new headlights that are part of the Maverick’s mid-cycle facelift.
Once again, we see a new front bumper design, with newly integrated fog lights. We see more body-colored trim—all painted gloss black here—but the bed rails are still in unpainted black plastic on particular prototype. Our earlier look at this particular Maverick configuration captured a blue prototype, with matching blue-painted bed rails.
As much as everyone rags on the steelies, I presently have them on my truck and prefer them to these ugly things.
I bought a set of those with almost new tires for $200. Using them for snows.

I feel like all the children of the 80s (my gen) are in the decision making seats now.

. Every time I see those rims, this damn bike comes to mind.
I don't believe there is any chance that those wheels actually make it to production I guess maybe on a new Sporty trim (Lobo or whatever they call it) but even then I really doubt it. I think those wheels are just place holders on the prototype. I've seen things like that before for many other testing vehicles.
