Ram Unveils 2027 Rumble Bee Lineup With Three Variants

Ram unveiled the 2027 rumble bee lineup of V-8-powered street-performance pickup trucks, opening a new path for buyers who want a quad-cab performance truck instead of the muscle cars Dodge no longer offers. The lineup starts with a 5.7-liter model later this year, then adds the 392 and SRT in the first half of 2026.

Ram Rumble Bee lineup

Every Ram 1500 Rumble Bee uses a thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters for its eight-speed automatic, and Ram leaves out a rotary shift knob across the lineup. That setup is paired with a street-performance focus rather than a stripped work-truck layout.

The trucks come only in quad-cab body style. Ram also pairs the smaller-engine trucks with the smaller 8.4-inch touchscreen, while an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system is listed for the lineup.

5.7-liter and 392 timing

Ram said the 5.7-liter Rumble Bee will go on sale first later this year, giving buyers the first entry point into the lineup. The 392 and SRT follow in the first half of 2026, so the range will arrive in stages rather than all at once.

The 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter models use standard cloth seats, while the Rumble Bee SRT adds highly bolstered leather seats with Rumble Bee logos. The SRT also gets an engraved Rumble Bee badge on the carbon-fiber cover for the upper glovebox.

Ram and Dodge muscle gap

Ram positioned the Rumble Bee lineup as its answer to the end of Dodge's V-8 muscle cars, and the new trucks try to cover that gap with multiple engine choices. Ram has not released pricing for the 2027 Rumble Bee lineup, leaving buyers with model timing but no price to compare yet.

For shoppers who want a V-8 street truck, the useful detail is the rollout order: the 5.7-liter truck first, then the 392 and SRT, with trim and equipment differences already set. That gives the lineup a clear ladder, but no pricing to measure where each version will land.
