How Powerful Will the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Be?

Have you heard the buzz?

There’s a new Ram truck coming soon, and let’s just say you haven’t seen one like this before.

A lineup of four powerful Ram muscle trucks — including the fastest truck on the market — will give thrill-seeking drivers a unique combination of convenient truck utility and exhilarating performance.

And we can’t wait to take a test drive.

As the press release points out, it’s been 20 years since we’ve seen a Ram muscle truck produced. The 2006 Ram 1500 SRT10, called the “Viper truck,” was the original Ram muscle truck — and now it’s time for a new era of muscle trucks.

If you’re ready to find out what the buzz is all about, buckle up as we dive into the details of the upcoming 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee below!

Performance: Fastest Truck Coming to the Market

The 2027 model year will give performance enthusiasts four outstanding versions of the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee truck to choose from, and each model is ready to rule the road.

• Rumble Bee
• Rumble Bee 392
• Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack
• Rumble Bee SRT

The entire Rumble Bee lineup is impressive, but the one that stands out the most is the Rumble Bee SRT, which carries the honor of being the fastest production truck ever.¹

The Rumble Bee delivers 395 horsepower, the Rumble Bee 392 steps up performance to 470 horsepower, and the Rumble Bee SRT tops the lineup with a jaw-dropping 777 horsepower.

Although the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is a thrill-seeking truck, it still offers practical towing and hauling skills — up to 8,890 pounds of towing capacity and up to 1,160 pounds of payload, when properly equipped.

What’s Under the Hood

So what makes those high horsepower numbers possible?

The Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque and is matched with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

For the Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack, a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine boasts 470 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque.

But no other engine in the lineup comes close to the power of the Rumble Bee SRT’s 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8 engine, which also happens to be the most powerful internal combustion engine ever offered in a production pickup.

This daunting, high-performance supercharged engine delivers an astounding 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque — ideal for drivers who crave ultimate performance.

Built for Speed 

So how fast can these muscle trucks go?

Behind the wheel of the Rumble Bee, you can expect to go from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds, reaching the quarter mile in 14.6 seconds when going 93 miles per hour.

The Rumble Bee 392 can take you from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds and reach the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at 101 miles per hour.

As the fastest production truck ever,¹ the Rumble Bee SRT wows with a 0-60 miles-per-hour time of 3.4 seconds,² reaching the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds² at 116 miles per hour. Not only that, the Rumble Bee SRT boasts an unbelievable top speed of 170 miles per hour.

And with the Launch Control feature that comes in both the SRT and 392 Track Pack, you can take off like a pro.

Performance-Focused Technology 

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is packed with features that will enhance your time on and off the track.

You can customize your ride with a variety of drive modes; the Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 give you five drive modes — auto, sport, snow, tow and custom — while the Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack and Rumble Bee SRT give you seven, adding track and valet modes. Each driving mode is designed to provide optimal performance in different driving conditions.

On the performance leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel, you’ll find paddle shifters for convenient control, and in the SRT, you can keep tabs on your performance, thanks to performance pages, which you can access through the largest-in-class touchscreen.⁴

While you keep your eyes focused on the road or track, you and your co-pilot can charge your phones simultaneously, thanks to the class-exclusive available dual wireless charging pads,³ and in the SRT, you can amp up your drives with a Harman Kardon® audio system that features 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer.

Daring Design

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee was meticulously designed to deliver astonishing performance and an unforgettable driving experience on the track or roadway, and it certainly looks the part of a muscle truck. The Rumble Bee stands out with a low, wide build and a short bed, presenting an intimidating presence on the road or track.

Aerodynamic features include a 4.5-inch front splitter, a front aero shield, front fascia ducts, and a rear spoiler. Other performance-enhancing features include an optional (and functional) trifold, hard tonneau cover, which supports high-speed performance better than the trifold, soft tonneau cover can.

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is outfitted with ultra-light 22-inch aluminum wheels, with two different tire options:

• Street Performance Tires: 285/45R22 All-Season Pirelli® Performance Tires, included with the Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392
• Ultra-High Performance Tires: 325/40R22 All-Season Goodyear® Tires, included with the Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack and Rumble Bee SRT

Not only that, on either the Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack or the Rumble Bee SRT, you’ll get the largest brake rotors in its class:³ Brembo six-piston fixed front caliper brakes.

Striking exterior color options include Detonator Yellow, Molten Red, and Ceramic Gray, and the exterior is accented further by LED headlamps and taillamps. Available bedside graphics allow you to attract even more attention, so if you want an angry bee icon featured on the side of your truck, you can have it!

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee leaves its mark with an angry bee logo in three different variations, depending on the model.

• On the Rumble Bee, the bee logo comes in Satin Black and Dark Neutral Metallic with the body of a HEMI V-8 engine, stinger in full display.
• The same bee design is found on the Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack; only this time, it has a Satin Black stinger and a Prowler Yellow body.
• The Rumble Bee SRT bee logo comes in Satin Black and Spitfire Orange stripes, featuring swept-back wings.
