Ram says its Lone Star special-edition pickup truck is a favorite among Texas truck buyers since starting the offering in 2002, and Texans now have a new one to go after: the 2019 Ram 2500/3500 Lone Star, which debuted this week at the 2019 DFW Auto Show in Dallas-Fort Worth. The Ram heavy-duty Lone Star is only distributed in Texas and is mostly an appearance package for the redesigned Ram 2500 and 3500.

The standard engine is the 6.4-liter V-8 making 410 horsepower and 429 pounds-feet of torque.

• Lone Star tailgate and interior badging
