Full steel underbody protection, accepts a winch and the prerunner bar, fog lights, and probably less constrained than the modular bumper

Good starting point and better to upgrade to an aftermarket bumper with than the modular bumper because it has fog lights + wiring + the switch for it already

Here’s a pic of the modular bumper in real photos. Looks similar to stock but better. Wish it included body color tow hooks as pictured here:

The 2022 order guide lists full steel bash plates as the second item under standard equipment for both BD and BL. Capable bumper is the first standard equipment item listed under both.
You hit the nail on the head.

People saying the capable bumper doesn't come with a steel bash plate. It comes with a plastic one.

That's just not true for the Black Diamond or the Badlands.

Gotcha. I haven't built out many of the trims besides the one that I want. But I know the heavy duty bash plates cannot be added as a standalone unless you have one of the special bumpers. Originally that was the HD bumper, but now I don't know what capable. I don't have the option of adding the capable bumper.

Capable bumper is only available on the BL and BD as a standard item. No other trims can get it. The only steel option for other trims is the modular, and you are correct, you can't get the full bash plates from the factory, but they are a part listed in the accessory catalog.
