So as some of you may already know, I work at a small Dodge/Ram dealership as a detailer/lot boy/gopher/janitor/etc.. Anyway, when new cars come in on the transporter, I'm the one who checks them in, which involves checking the vehicle over for damage and that they have everything they should(floor mats, owners manual, wheels locks, etc..), checking the VIN against the shipment papers, and then parking them. I've gotten very used to Chrysler's lax quality control, but every once in a while something really surprises me.
On Friday afternoon, a truck dropped off an Avenger, Caravan, and 1500. On the tailgate of the truck I noticed the Lone Star badge, which I assumed was similar to a Limited or Laramie Long Horn, but the truck was wearing the wheels of an Express model. Sure enough, when I looked at the window sticker, there was no mention of the Lone Star package. I did however notice the return of the Ram Charger name as an option group, which is pretty cool even if it should be an option for a 2-door Ram SUV. This particular truck is a 1500 Express Quad Cab RamCharger, so basically it's a base ST with the Sport fascia and bumpers(the Express part) with a sport hood and wheel-to-wheel side steps(Ramcharger), but it's not a Lone Star despite wearing the one badge. Later I looked up the Lone Star package and what it entails, and apparently it's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , so how it ended up on an Express destined for Long Island, I can only imagine.

YEEHAW!
I rather like that badge—it's big, but it's proportional to all the other big badges on the truck.
The one that really grinds my gears is the Texas Edition on the Chevys:
AUGHHHH WHO SAW THIS AND THOUGHT THAT—VISUALLY—IT WAS A GOOD IDEA?! SOMEONE FIX THEIR EYES! AND MY EYES! THEY HURT! MY EYEBALLS, THEY HURT ALL OVER!

You just know that the dealer is going to charge a "premium" for that thing.

There's actually quite a bit of money off Rams.

Chrysler actually does badges pretty well. It's the putting them on vehicles part that gives them trouble.

As an official representative of the great state of Texas, I'll trade ya that dumb emblem for a Long Island Iced Tea.

I don't know, it just... happened.
I searched oppo for Ram and I forgot to look at the date. Do you mind if I ask which LI dealer you work for? Any chance I can get a deal on a GC ... 2011 Wrangler lease is up

Lmao I'm over on the FP arguing with a classic anti-domestic troll and I see you comment on this.
I'm at Riverhead and we currently only carry Dodge and Ram, with Chrysler and Jeep supposedly in our future. So we can't sell you one, but we'll surely service it. We have two pre-owned GCs if you wanted to go that routw, but the 14s are much, much nicer. The Durango is a nice choice too, unless you want that real 4x4 of the GC.

4x4 is a must, though the Durango is a nice vehicle.
The closest Jeep dealer to me... probably the Huntington or West Hills or Westbury ones.

You're a ways out from us then. I've been to Huntington and Westbury on swaps, both seem nice though I can't vouch for their customer service. The Ram is probably worth a look too.
