Colorado Bison Nearly Sold Out for 2019 Model Year
The little pickup that could is such a big hit that any given Bison is on the lot for 10 days before it’s sold.
A few months ago, Chevrolet and AEV dropped their first collaboration into many a dealer’s lot, the Colorado ZR2 Bison. The tough little truck, built to stomp hoofprints all over Ford’s newly returned Ranger and its bigger brother, the Raptor, handles its business with a 3.6-liter V6 or, for diesel fans, a 2.4-liter turbo-four doing all of the motivation on the rocks and mud.
Speaking of motivation, the Bison has proven to be such a big hit that The Drive says nearly all 2,000 copies for the 2019 model year are spoken for.
Every dealer selling the Bison has received their allocation from the total build order for 2019, having “asked for far more Bisons than [Chevrolet] can produce,” according to a rep for the Bow Tie brand. And while dealers will have to wait until the 2020 model year begins, fans of the truck still have some opportunity to get theirs.
“For customers, they should still be able to find a Bison if they are willing to monitor dealer inventory, and call dealers to see if they have a Bison on order that has not been sold to another customer,” the representative said. He adds that a given Bison sits on the dealer lot for an average of 10 days before going to a new home. At a starting price of $48,045 MSRP, that is truly impressive.
So, if you’ve been wanting to get your hands on a burly little Bison of your own, now would be a good time to track one down.
