The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee muscle truck will hit dealers later this year with a $62,790 base price, including shipping fees.
The widebody quad cab pickup comes with a 395 hp 5.7-liter V8 and a full-time all-wheel-drive system with a rear-wheel-drive mode. An exact date for its launch hasn’t been confirmed, but it will be followed by the Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee SRT early next year.
The Rumble Bee 392 lists for $72,790 with a 470 hp 6.4-liter V8 and a Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack model will be offered with an adjustable air suspension and other upgrades for $82,790.
The Mr. Universe-spec Rumble Bee SRT gets a 777 hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 shared with the Ram 1500 TRX SRT for $97,790 and can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds on the way to an 11.6-second quarter-mile and 170 mph top speed that makes it the fastest pickup ever sold.
There really isn’t much on the market for comparison. The Ford F-150 Lobo is the closest thing to a “muscle truck” offered by another automaker, but it’s a standard width crew cab with a 400 hp V8 that lists for $59,995. The 1500 TRX SRT with the Hellcat V8 and a crew cab starts at $102,790, but it’s all about tearing things up off-road, not at the drag strip.

Along with the Rumble Bees, Ram is also collaborating Fox Factory on the $89,995 1500 Lowered street performance truck, which is modified by Fox Factory with a two-inch suspension drop that features adjustable Ridetech coilover shocks, tubular control arms and traction bars, plus a supercharged 5.7-liter V8 rated at 650 hp.
Interestingly, Dodge offers all three of the Rumble Bee’s V8s in the Durango SRT, but has not yet launched a Hemi-powered version of its actual muscle car, the Charger.
