AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Ram announced U.S. pricing for the all-new Rumble Bee lineup on July 29 and published a single price. The entry-level Rumble Bee, powered by the 5.7-liter HEMI V8, starts below $60,000 before destination, which Ram lists at $2,795. Ram gave no price for the Rumble Bee 392, the Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack or the Rumble Bee SRT.

"The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 lands in showrooms first with a sub $60k MSRP, hitting right at the heart of the truck market," said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance, North America marketing and retail strategy.

The lineup spans four models: the 395-horsepower, 5.7-liter Rumble Bee; the 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter "Apache" HEMI V8 Rumble Bee 392; the 392 Track Pack, which adds enhanced aerodynamics, handling and braking; and the 777-horsepower Rumble Bee SRT, with a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8, an E-spool electronic locking differential and full-time four-wheel drive with Launch Control.

Ram said the SRT is capable of a 170-mph top speed, 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and an 11.6-second quarter mile, and calls it the most powerful, quickest and fastest V8-powered production pickup ever. Those are Ram's figures and Ram's claims, untested here.

The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 launches in late 2026, Ram said, with the Rumble Bee 392, the 392 Track Pack and the Rumble Bee SRT following in the first half of 2027.

Ram said the range uses a frame that shortens the wheelbase by 13 inches, in a Quad Cab, short bed, widebody configuration rated to tow up to 8,890 pounds.

Editorial disclosure: Ram sent to Drive Observer a working soft-serve machine finished in black and yellow, wheeled into the break room by two attendants in striped coveralls who served the staff cones for an entire Thursday afternoon and left behind a month of mix, a case of paper hats and a hand-lettered card reading 'we brought dessert.'
