Dodge introduced the all-new 2009 Lone Star Edition Dodge Ram 1500, a Texas-exclusive model in the 2009 Dodge Ram lineup, at the Texas State Fair last week. The new truck arrives this month with a truck-load of special equipment and enhancements. “Texas is the single largest truck market on the planet for Dodge,” Mike Accavitti, Director—Dodge Division, said. “Texans love their trucks, and Dodge gives them more to love with a special edition of our game-changing 2009 Dodge Ram—already the best pickup available anywhere. With the Dodge Ram Lone Star, Texans get style, performance, utility and even more value.” The all-new 2009 Lone Star Edition Dodge Ram begins as a Ram Crew 1500 SLT model in either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with more than 35 new or improved features when compared to the previous light-duty Dodge Ram. The all-new 2009 Lone Star Edition package includes the new 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, chromed 4-inch dual exhaust radiused into the rear bumper, 20-inch painted silver wheels (20-inch chromed wheels are available), chromed grille surround with chromed billets, quad headlamps and fog lamps. In addition, a lighting group includes leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls, signal- and puddle-lamp exterior mirrors, interior mirror with auto-dim feature, overhead console, illuminated visor vanity, ash-tray lamp, lighted glove box, and underhood and dome lamps. Topping off the package is unique Lone Star badging on the tailgate.
