Ram is relaunching its muscle truck lineup two decades after discontinuing the Ram 1500 SRT10 "Viper Truck." Tim Kuniskis, head of the Stellantis US brand, stated that while the product line may seem "unnecessary" to some, pickup trucks can be more than just work vehicles. He noted that data shows muscle car owners often own a pickup as their second vehicle, a connection that has existed for about 20 years. "Somehow, the concept of a muscle truck was once labeled 'unnecessary,' but since that description also applies to many products that capture the hearts, minds, and wallets of enthusiasts, Ram has decided to go all-in, sprinting through the final tenth with a complete Rumble Bee muscle truck lineup." The first model, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 version, is expected to begin deliveries by the end of 2026. The Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee SRT will launch in the first half of 2027.
All Rumble Bee models are equipped with a full-time active all-wheel-drive system featuring a Borg Warner 48-11 transfer case, enabling variable torque distribution in four-wheel-drive mode. A button integrated next to the center console shifter allows disengaging the front axle for true rear-wheel-drive operation. Power in the Rumble Bee, Rumble Bee 392, and Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack is transmitted through Ram's TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, supporting both automatic and manual shifting via aluminum paddle shifters or the G/T center console shifter. The Rumble Bee 392 uses a 250 mm rear axle with a final drive ratio of 3.92; the Track Pack is equipped with an electronic locking differential designed for drag racing. Both 392 models offer an optional asymmetric limited-slip differential. The top-tier Rumble Bee SRT's Hellcat HEMI engine is paired with a stronger version of the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, featuring a new cooling system to manage engine coolant and oil temperatures. The rear axle includes electronic locking, with an optional track-tuned asymmetric limited-slip differential.
In terms of performance, the Rumble Bee accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, completes the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds with a terminal speed of 93 mph. The Rumble Bee 392 achieves 5.2 seconds, 13.2 seconds, and 101 mph, respectively. The Rumble Bee SRT posts figures of 3.4 seconds, 11.6 seconds, and 116 mph.
To ensure the truck's handling meets the demands of high horsepower, Ram engineers redesigned the frame, shortening the total length of the frame section behind the cab's B-pillar by 13 inches, creating a unique Quad Cab with a short cargo box. Compared to the standard Ram 1500, the wheelbase is widened by 6.8 inches to enhance stability and handling. The Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 offer a choice of standard coil springs or optional air suspension, with an independent front suspension (IFS) coil spring system up front and a five-link coil spring system at the rear. Four-corner air suspension is standard on the 392 Track Pack and SRT models. All models offer multiple drive modes: the Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 have five modes, while the 392 Track Pack and SRT add a dedicated track driving mode and valet mode, offering seven total. All models feature full-time active all-wheel drive and an "RWD" button. The 392 Track Pack and SRT are equipped with a separate electronic locking button and a dedicated launch control button. Aerodynamics have been optimized to handle 1,000 lbs of force acting on the front end at 170 mph.
In terms of exterior design, the Ram team drew inspiration from Mopar visual elements of the 1960s. All versions offer optional side graphic stripes. The Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 feature an aggressive front grille and wide-body wheel arches, with available colors including Detonator Yellow, Molten Red, and Ceramic Gray. Wheel sizes are 22x10 inches, with optional 20x10-inch wheels. The 392 Track Pack and SRT feature functional air intakes, a deep front lip spoiler, and an aggressive rear spoiler, paired with new 22x12-inch wheels capable of mounting 325 mm wide rear tires. The SRT offers a Blacktop exterior paint package.
Inside, the Rumble Bee is equipped with manually adjustable fabric bucket seats featuring Medium Greystone contrast stitching, a G/T center console shifter, and a flat-bottom performance steering wheel. Dedicated buttons for RWD, launch control, and electronic locking are located on the right side of the steering wheel. All models support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Rumble Bee 392 adds 10-way power-adjustable driver fabric seats and Prowler Yellow contrast stitching. The Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack features 12-way power-adjustable leather and suede bucket seats. The Rumble Bee SRT interior features Desert Orange stitching, with power seats wrapped in Natura Plus leather and suede, covering the headliner and pillars, with carbon fiber trim providing visual highlights. Other interior features include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a full-color head-up display (optional on 392 and SRT), an optional 360-degree surround-view camera system, Performance Pages, and a Uconnect touchscreen. The Rumble Bee 392 offers optional Active Driving Assist, which is standard on the 392 Track Pack and SRT. A digital rearview mirror is optional. For audio, the 392 features an Alpine system, while the SRT is equipped with a Harman Kardon system with 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer.
The Rumble Bee SRT also features metal pedals with rubber pads.
