Ram called it, “the heart of America’s truck country” and they’re not wrong about that. From Ford ads declaring them “the best in Texas” to the Toyota Tundra laying down roots, truck companies love Texas and Texas loves trucks. That being said, it makes perfect sense that Dallas, TX would be the spot for Ram’s release of the “original Texas truck,” the 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star.
And to the devotees here, yes, we did already cover a Texas inspired Ram edition, but that was the Laramie Longhorn edition. The latter focused on luxury within the world of trucks where as the Lone Star is more about the everyman. The brand’s top-selling truck in Texas is also only available in Texas, raising a bit of a chicken or egg type question, but nevertheless it offers a plethora of upgrade opportunities.
Via Ram:
Standard 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star equipment includes bright front and rear bumpers, chrome door handle centers, a bright grille surround with billet inserts, 18-inch aluminum wheels, fog lamps, 60/40 split rear bench seat and leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.
In addition, monochromatic “Sport” and “Black” appearance packages are offered, creating a broad mix of interior and exterior themes for the new 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star model.
The 2019 Ram 1500 interior is completely redesigned, using all-new features, technology and premium materials to make it the class leader in quality, comfort and durability. Four interior trim levels, and a choice of six-passenger bench front or optional five-passenger bucket seats, are offered on the Lone Star.
Several option packages are available with the Lone Star in order to give buyers their choice of function-specific enhancements. They include a Bed Utility Group, a 4×4 Off-road Group, a Protection Group, Trailer Tow Mirrors and Brake Group, Max Towing Package and Premium Lighting Group.
Additional options further allow Texas buyers to personalize their Ram 1500 Lone Star to meet their hard-working needs. Among those options are a class-exclusive Active Level Air Suspension, electric-locking rear axle, Blind-spot Monitoring and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
Available only in Texas, 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star models are distinguished by unique “Lone Star” tailgate and interior badges.
The Lone Star will initially be offered with the 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8. A powerful and fuel-efficient HEMI with the eTorque mild hybrid system is also available. A 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar with eTorque will join the powertrain offerings later in the year.
The 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star is available with a choice of 4×2 and 4×4 powertrains, Crew and Quad Cab configurations and 5 ft.-7 in. (Crew only) and 6 ft.-4 in. bed lengths.
