I saw this, but not sure it means the Bison is dead. The ZR2 see running around with camo and the snorkel had camo covering the front and rear bumpers, and fender flares meaning that the AEV bumpers and fender flares are most likely in the works which AEV didn't announce last week (they only are offering the snorkel and wheels). Also why would the trademark the Bison name if Chevy wasn't planning on selling it? AEV is currently the company offering the snorkel and wheels not Chevy.

Not sure. I wonder if this is similar to a AEV Jeep build or if its done at the Chevy factory.

Just read yesterday that RAM is coming out with a BABY pickup. Dakota like but won't be a piece of crap. I think MY 2021 released in 2020. It might get here before the JT!

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-ram-midsize-body-on-frame-jeep/

So this new mini Ram (not a Dakota) is going to be build on the same line as the JT? Is that what you guys got from the article? I am not sure how I feel about that. They have enough problems with quality control as it is. I guess the line already switches trim levels and engine types but is it common to build different models on the same line? Granted the JT and the mini ram will be similar, still I am sure there will be plenty of differences.

Also I know they were only expecting around 100k JT sales in the first year, but will that line be able to support the demand on both vehicles?

Yup, we mentioned that in some earlier discussions. I'd figure on the Dakota being available in more base trims than the JT, with the JT fulfilling the higher end midsize truck role for that chassis.
