I did a quick search but couldn't find any info on this... Why do some BS grills have a blocked area in the middle (like my Badlands) and some do not? I see them mostly on "First Editions" but I think I've seen them on other models as well.

Image I stole from the picture thread, definitely not a "First Edition".

Special cruise control, , once you set it it will self adjust to the car in front of yours plus it has lane centering . Check your manual .

Ha! Will do. The dealer gave us the wrong booklets but sent the correct booklets to us over night. I haven't had the time to go through it just yet. :)

Behind the solid center plastic grill parts is your radar pick ups .

It is important to note to take this into account with any bull or brush guards or lights. You block That square and it will block your radar affecting pre collision control, the distance adjuster on cruise control, lane centering etc. Basically you will have wasted all your 360 money if you block it

Also I think if you block the square of plastic where the sensors are , that will put you and anyone in that car at risk of false reading and danger of a crash . Read your manual on this subject . My 2 cents.
