We’re mildly disappointed to learn that the 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star still isn’t a Ram pickup truck styled after the Winnebago driven (flown") by Lone Starr in the film Spaceballs. Instead, as it has been since 2002, the Lone Star is a special trim package offered only in Texas, where pickups rule. Previous Lone Star editions have accounted for as much as half of Ram’s half-ton pickup sales in that state.
Based on the 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn, the Lone Star is set apart with equipment including 18-inch aluminum wheels, chrome bumpers and a chrome grille surround, fog lamps, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and, of course, Lone Star badging for the tailgate and interior. Options available to Lone Star buyers include Sport and Black appearance packages, an air-spring suspension, blind-spot monitoring, 20-inch wheels, and a towing package.
The Lone Star will be offered initially with Ram’s 395-hp 5.7-liter V-8, while a 305-hp 3.6-liter V-6 will be added later. The latter will come with eTorque, the company’s 48-volt motor/generator electric assist, as on other versions of the all-new 2019 Ram. The company says that the Lone Star will be available in both crew- and quad-cab body styles with either rear- or four-wheel drive.
