1500 AT4X front bumper AEV or not?

[Viking Truck]

When I first started looking at 1500 AT4X it appeared that the first batch of 2023 models were coming off the line with the paint matched front bumper and then they were going to come with the AEV front bumper (and at least a $3k MSRP bump). I have seen a few with AEV front bumpers in dealer inventorying the past. When I check dealer inventory now many are still coming with the paint matched front bumper. Are they going to produce both for the whole year or are they switching from one design to the other? I know the AEV "package" is a separate option with rear bumper and heavy duty skid plates. I am interested in the AEV front bumper only.

Anyone? When I look at 2023 GMC AT4X some have about an $80K base price with body colored front bumper and some are about $84K with AEV front bumper. Both without the diesel and the AEV package. Are they producing both for 2023 or is one an early 23 and one a late 23?

As far as I understand, at some point during the production they switched to the AEV front bumper on all 1500’s produced. All come with the 6.2 as diesel is not available for the 23 models. However, the 3.0 diesel will be in the 24 models.
