Catering to Texas with special editions is done widely across the pickup truck industry and the latest model to receive the Lone Star treatment is the new 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500.
Revealed at the Dallas Auto Show, the new 2500 and 3500 Ram Heavy Duty Lone Star trucks will only be sold in Texas and will feature “Lone Star” badging on the tailgate and interior. Ram claims that it was the first automaker to introduce a Texas edition pickup that was sold exclusively in that state.
