Seen it across multiple threads now where folks are asking if a given modification will work on MY23 trucks. Hoping to cut some of those future questions off with this post. 
The answer will always be the same, regardless of the modification: no one knows until the MY23 trucks start shipping and people get their hands on them.
You won't get confirmation from any company until they can validate their products on one. More adventurous consumers may choose to purchase without confirmation (or ones with extra parts lying around) and validate more quickly. You may hear from those consumers on forums, such as this one, but no company will confirm their product fitment until they can validate it themselves (potentially with a customer's truck). And no consumer can provide validation until they have a MY23 truck in their hands.
Some modifications will be more likely to work than others. But there is simply no way to know in advance which ones will actually work. A model year change can include minor tweaks where you least expect them, and those tweaks can prevent a modification from fitting. Don't mind all of the major changes, including in areas we aren't aware of yet.
If you purchase a modification early, you are taking on the risk that it won't fit and you'll have a paperweight on your hands. One you may be able to sell to recoup your money, or you may lose money selling it. Whether that risk is worth it depends on your finances, your desire to have the item immediately upon the truck arriving, the cost of the item, and the predicted resale market for it - remember that you won't be selling it today, but once you get your truck and try to install it.
Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone with a MY23 truck on order! Hope your truck arrives flawless and in good time.
