Ram opened orders for the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 and within 90 minutes received orders for the entire volume allocated for the 2026 calendar year. Within another 24 hours, the available production quota until the end of the first quarter of 2027 was fully booked.

The base Rumble Bee costs $59,995 (about 5 million rubles) without delivery and is equipped with a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 395 hp and 410 lb-ft (556 N·m) of torque. The pickup received an eight-speed automatic transmission and a short wheelbase: compared to the regular Ram 1500, it was shortened by 13 inches.

However, the Rumble Bee is not just a styling package. Ram created a separate chassis with a 10% reduced frame flexibility, a wider track, and handling-oriented settings. Depending on the version, the family will receive V8 engines with power ranging from 395 to 777 hp.

The most powerful version — the Rumble Bee SRT with a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI producing 777 hp — will appear later, in the first half of 2027. The base Rumble Bee is expected to go on sale in late 2026.

Ram has not yet disclosed how many vehicles were included in the initial quota. Therefore, the speed of the sell-out primarily indicates high demand for the affordable V8-powered pickup, but does not allow for an assessment of the absolute sales volume. For buyers who did not manage to place an order, the next round of applications is expected in March 2027.
