I have the billet style grill on my 2011 Bighorn. I'm not a huge fan of the look. First choice would be to put the 2013 laramie grill on. I know they changed the style in 2013. But, would the inserts be compatible? If not, anybody on here wanna trade their09-12 laramie grill for mine? Thanks guys

You can put a 13+ grille on an 09-12 truck but you'd have to change the bumper cover as well... I'd just swap it out with the same model year.

Top pic is my truck. Second pic is 2010-2012 laramie grill. Third pic is the 2013 grill "mesh" but if you look at the outer portion, its a 10'-12' frame? The 2013s are beveled at the lower corners. Anybody see what I'm ****** about?

Yes, the bottom corners are cut on the 13's and up.

I think I just answered my question. The third pic above is the 2012 grill. I thought it had the mesh from the 13+ in it. A closer look shows that its not the same. 2012 style it shall be i guess...
