Why This Matters for Truck Buyers
The expansion marks Ram's commitment to offering regionally-inspired trim packages across its entire truck lineup. Market research shows Texas accounts for nearly 20% of all heavy-duty truck sales nationwide, making this strategic expansion likely to boost Ram's position in the competitive 3/4-ton and 1-ton pickup segment.

Pro Tip for Buyers
Consider the Cummins diesel option if you regularly tow over 12,000 lbs - while the HEMI V8s are capable, the diesel's 1,075 lb-ft of torque provides superior performance under heavy loads.

Ram's regional strategy began in 2009 with the original Lone Star Edition, created in response to Texas' outsized truck market. The Silver Edition launched in 2018 added premium features that increased take rates by 34% according to internal sales data.
