I’m really considering a new 3500 ram HO cummins... part of me wants to go order the truck now. Is AEV working on the new 19+ ram platform? If so do you know if a new prospector will be released within the next year or so?

Does this mean Prospector XL?
I know the demand for the rear bumper has been high, and we appreciate everyone's patience. I'll try to keep y'all as up to date as I can.

Ram seems to be the red-headed step child. I love what they do with the Jeep brand. Love what they’ve done with Ram. Hate the fact that they’ve put their followers (Ram and Jeep) on the back burner while they waste time and money on other manufacturers. They’ve never been quick to release anything, now that they have their hand in too much, it’ll be even worse.
You won’t see much for you’re new body style til, my guess, end of 2020 if not 2021.____________________________________________

Since AEV started making aftermarket products they have never been quick to the market, but once they come out they have been the best in the market. Great example is the JK rear bumper. The JK came out in late 2007, and the rear bumper was somewhere around 2009/10 if I remember correctly. To be honest I have a feeling there will be a lot coming in 2020 for the JL/JT and Rams.
everyone who is thinking about AEV stuff should absolutely understand how AEV works before they take the plunge.____________________________________________

Agreed. However if they weren’t dickin around with chevy’s or Toyota wheels, they would’ve came up with the rear bumper for the 4th gen. Instead, they’ll stop, or have stopped fabricating parts for the 4th gen and start with the 5th gen. Believe me, I’m a fan, I have all of their stuff on my Jeep, and one day pay the crazy prices for their stuff for my 4th gen Ram. I just hate some of AEV’s business practices.

Believe me, I can sympathize with the urgency to outfit a new vehicle but unfortunately, we are not going to put our name on an inferior product just to capitalize on being first to market. I know that may seem like a typical cop-out but that philosophy is exactly what got us to where we are today. We are not about to start putting profit before quality now. Aside from that, there are things like tooling, prototyping, product testing (controlled environment and real world), safety certifications and a number of other r&d and manufacturing hurdles to overcome along the way. If we were only in business to take your money, then we just take the path of least resistance to do so.
Either way, I can assure you that our Colorado/Toyota wheel has no relevance to the Ram Rear Bumper or any other product for that matterMatt Feldermann
