Dodge Ram Resistol
A tip of the hat to the hard-ridin’, steer-wrestlin’, big-buckled cowboys in the Lone Star State. Ya’ll got yourselves one fine lookin’ Dodge Ram with which to roam the range. And from what we can see, the 2008 Resistol Edition Dodge Ram Mega Cab is going to make ropers and riders outside the Texas borders jealous.
Never heard of Resistol? Then you better fetch up your cowboy credentials. Resistol is the undisputed king of cowboy hats, and has claimed top-position in felt hat sales longer than most of Texas’ rodeo bucks have been alive.
The slick part of this whole Dodge deal is when you buy the Resistol Edition Dodge Ram 3500 diesel dually Laramie Mega Cab ($48,310), a Resistol Black Gold 20X comes as part of the truck’s standard features.

The truck is available in either 4x2 or 4x4 configurations. Horse- and cattle-toting power comes from the new 350 hp 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel ahead of a six-speed automatic.
And just so you and everyone else around knows your Resistol Edition Mega Cab is unique. A special Khaki two-tone paint job, full-length stainless steel tubular side steps, and custom Resistol badges on each B-pillar set it apart from any other Dodge Ram on the road.
Cowboys (and girls) like their comfort along with struttin’ good looks, so the boys at Dodge took care of that by outfitting the interior of the Resistol Ram with Yuma and Graystone premium leather seating embossed with the distinctive Resistol cowboy hat logo. Heavyweight floor mats also sport the Resistol logo, so it’s easy to keep the field frisbees from staining the plush carpet.
Dodge says this is a limited production run, so if you have a hankerin’ to put one of these beauties in your stable, best get a move on.
As I heard one Texan cowboy say when he got his first look at a Resistol Edition Ram, “Standin’ tall and lookin’ good in the saddle just took on a whole new meaning.” I couldn’t agree more. —Bruce W. Smith
