The Return of the Rumble Bee

The iconic Rumble Bee moniker is officially making a comeback with the 2027 Ram 1500, now expanded into a diverse family of three performance-oriented street trucks. Ram has confirmed the pricing strategy for these models, catering to different power requirements and budgets.


Entry-Level Performance

The base model Rumble Bee, priced at $62,790, serves as the gateway into the series. It is powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine producing 395 horsepower. Despite being the entry-level offering, it retains the aggressive widebody design and specialized mechanical features, such as a front-axle disconnect system designed for tire-spinning performance. According to manufacturer specifications, this model achieves a 0–60 mph sprint in 6.1 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds.


The Mid-Range 392 and Track Pack Options

For those seeking more power, the Rumble Bee 392 features a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 generating 470 horsepower, starting at $72,790. This version is capable of reaching 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.

Customers can further enhance this trim by opting for the Track Pack, which brings the total to $82,790. This upgrade package introduces several performance enhancements, including:

  • Advanced aerodynamics featuring a 4.5-inch front splitter and a rear wing.
  • Enhanced cooling through specialized vents.
  • Performance hardware including Bilstein adaptive dampers and Brembo braking systems.
  • Electronically locking rear differential and launch control mode.
  • 325-width all-season performance tires.

The Flagship SRT Model

At the pinnacle of the lineup sits the Rumble Bee SRT, which carries a premium price of $97,790. This model is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8, delivering an impressive 777 horsepower. The SRT mirrors the chassis and aerodynamic improvements of the 392 Track Pack while providing significantly more power. With the aid of full-time four-wheel drive, the SRT is engineered to reach 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, clear the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 170 mph.


Availability

Prospective buyers can expect the base 5.7-liter Rumble Bee to arrive at showrooms by the end of 2026. The more powerful 392 and SRT variants are scheduled to follow in the first half of 2027.
