That's what I was arguing at the time. Crush trucks were turning way faster than other colors, and out of concern that Bisons might sit longer, I wanted to give them a chance to move. There was a moratorium on all cost expenditures...which resulted in Crush staying around for 2020 (was going to go away for some other color, but the cost to change over the paint line at the plant was over $100k). As they wrote the order to continue crush, I "accidentally" added Bison to the list of models that can be painted crush. Technically, there's two new parts (the fascia parts under the headlights) that are unique to Bison and will require some engineering work to complete...so it might have gotten axed. We'll see...

I can't imagine Bisons are sitting long on lots. Production volume is small, and when compared to a Gladiator Rubicon, it's a steal. If I had no brand affiliation, I'd probably buy a Bison.
Good call on trying to sneak that in there! The couple of "custom" Bison parts that would need to be painted might cause it to get axed, but it's a good try. I am stoked to hear that Crush is staying around for 2020. :like:
Crush is a rad color in person, but it needs the black wheels to sit right IMO. :math:

Dang. Dude at work died last night. Younger guy, probably mid30s. Don’t know what happened yet. Didn’t know him personally since I’m new, but he was in a few of my weekly meetings.
