Ram unveiled three 2027 1500 Rumble Bee performance pickups, reviving its muscle-truck line with a base 395-hp V-8, a new 470-hp 392 model and a 777-hp supercharged SRT.
The lineup targets an on-road performance niche after Ram restored V-8 options to the 1500 range, using a quad-cab short-bed layout that cuts 13 inches from the wheelbase and reduces chassis flex by 10%.
The flagship SRT sends its Hellcat-derived 6.2-liter V-8 to the rear wheels, with Ram targeting 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds, an 11.6-second quarter-mile and a top speed near 170 mph.
Track-focused hardware includes widened bodywork, active four-wheel drive on lower trims, Brembo brakes, 22-inch wheels and an aero package on the SRT that generates more than 400 pounds of downforce.
Late October is the first launch target for the 5.7-liter Rumble Bee, while the SRT follows shortly after at a base price Ram says will come in below the TRX.

With a six-figure price, can the on-road Rumble Bee SRT offer better value than its legendary off-road TRX sibling?
