A pickup truck that can exceed 700 horsepower would already be enough to attract attention, but Ram wanted to go even further with the return of the Rumble Bee.

The 2027 Rumble Bee will start at around $60,000 and will have an offer that will grow in power until it reaches 777 horsepower in the SRT variant. The first version will arrive at the end of 2026, while the sportier configurations will appear during the first half of 2027.
Four versions and one recipe
The starting point will be the Rumble Bee equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. This engine delivers 395 horsepower and seeks to become the alternative for those who want a fast and powerful pickup, but one that can also be used normally every day.
Above will be the Rumble Bee 392, which uses the 6.4-liter HEMI “Apache” V8 and reaches 470 horsepower. Added to this will be the 392 Track Pack, which will take the preparation one step further with specific modifications to suspension, brakes and aerodynamics.
Prices will grow according to performance. The Rumble Bee 392 will be priced at $70,000, while the 392 Track Pack will start at $80,000.
The SRT is the real beast
The Rumble Bee name may have an important history within Ram, but the version that attracts all attention will be the SRT. This pickup will have a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8 capable of producing 777 horsepower.
The figure makes the Rumble Bee SRT the most powerful V8-powered production pickup manufactured by Ram. In addition, it will have permanent all-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic transmission, E-Spool electronic self-locking differential and Launch Control.
The result is quite serious. Ram claims it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds. Its maximum speed will reach 170 mph, equivalent to about 274 km/h.
A chassis made to withstand power
It wasn't enough to install a huge engine under the hood. Ram also worked on the structure of the truck, reducing the wheelbase by approximately 33 centimeters and reducing structural flex by 10%.
The intention is to achieve a more rigid and precise pickup when driving fast, especially when cornering. The design accompanies this philosophy with a wide body configuration, double cab and short bed.
Despite its sporting orientation, the Rumble Bee does not completely abandon its practical side. It can tow up to 8,860 pounds and support a payload of up to 1,160 pounds.
Technology to accompany the V8
The interior also receives specific elements. Versions include a flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminum paddle shifters, and a shift lever located on the center console.
The technology includes a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touch screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a configurable Head-Up Display. A Level 2 driver assistance system will also be available.
Ram plans to begin marketing the Rumble Bee with a 5.7-liter HEMI engine at the end of 2026. In the first half of 2027 it will be the turn of the 392, 392 Track Pack and SRT versions.
The range will be distributed with prices of $60,000 for the Rumble Bee, $70,000 for the 392, $80,000 for the 392 Track Pack and $95,000 for the SRT.
