Sport package also gets a console shifter, the chrome pack the shifter is in the column. There are kits out there to convert to console but you're talking 6-800 and a ton of work. If you want Chrome wheels chances are you can find some OEM pulls fairly cheap locally. You can go chrome pack and have the bumpers color matched wrapped/painted for $4-500. The door handles and fender vents will also be in Chrome. The sport vents can be found for around 200 from EliteOEM for a set and the door pulls can be painted as well for about 250 +/-. Lariat sport grills are going for 250+ on ebay as well and those are not hard to swap out.

This is all stuff I am in the process of swapping out on mine. I wanted the sport pack in white but got lucky with a XLT PB ox white with chrome. Already got the vents in and the grill will be in this week.
In the 2023 the center console comes standard in Larait. But some good points if I want to do the upgrade myself

Well if you're worried about bumpers being damaged can I suggest these:

that front is a bit much but that rear is kind of nice not going to lie

I don't mind the Warn stuff. I find it a lot less obnoxious than other options out there.

I'm looking at you, fab fours grumper...

I might be in the minority here, but I prefer to column shifter.

thats a solid point. I wouldn't mind the other front bumper if you have the rest of the truck styled to go with it. I'm sure its heavy as hell too

True Chrome without question is more durable than paint all day long. We use hard chrome on some of our applications at my company for this very reason. For us it is wear resistance.

I went with chrome because the sport appearance package changes the leather interior to black and brown ?

I have both. Chrome is better against rocks but like the look of Sport.
