The Ram brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills has announced U.S. pricing for the all-new Rumble Bee lineup of muscle trucks, with the entry-level Rumble Bee powered by the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 starting below $60,000 before destination charges ($2,795).

The MSRPs for the Rumble Bee lineup starts at $59,995 for the base model, and tops out at $99,996 for the TRX SRT edition.

With the introduction of the Rumble Bee muscle trucks, Ram offers six widebody, performance-focused, half-ton pickups. Whether on- or off-road, Ram’s factory-tuned lineup is designed to deliver the “personality, power, and price points for every type of build and budget.”

The Ram 1500 Rumble Bee lineup brings American muscle to the pickup segment with four distinct offerings. The entry point is the 395-horsepower, 5.7-liter, HEMI V-8 Rumble Bee, followed by the 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter, “Apache” HEMI V-8 Rumble Bee 392.

For drivers seeking more performance, the Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack adds enhanced aerodynamics, handling, and braking capability.

At the top of the lineup sits what Ram is calling the most powerful, quickest, and fastest V-8-powered production pickup ever: the 777-horsepower Rumble Bee SRT. With a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8, quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, E-spool electronic locking differential, and full-time four-wheel drive with Launch Control, the all-new Rumble Bee SRT is capable of a 170-mph top speed, 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a 11.6-second quarter mile.

The Rumble Bee range uses a unique frame that shortens the wheelbase by 13 inches and reduces flex by 10 percent. The result is said to be better handling and body control, with stubby, muscular looks from the exclusive Quad Cab, short bed, widebody configuration. Despite its proportions, the Rumble Bee muscle trucks maintain four-door practicality, a usable bed and real-world truck capability, including towing of up to 8,890 pounds and payload of up to 1,160 pounds, according to Ram.

On the inside, each Rumble Bee shares performance-focused driver controls, including a flat-bottom steering wheel, console-mounted shifter and aluminum paddle shifters. Available technology features include Active Driving Assist (L2), a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a configurable, full-color Head-Up Display (HUD).

“The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 lands in showrooms first with a sub $60k MSRP, hitting right at the heart of the truck market,” says Tim Kuniskis, head of American brands, SRT Performance, North America marketing, and retail strategy at Stellantis. “Some will keep it stock. But let’s be honest, most won’t. A lot of brands try to fight that. We don’t. We embrace it. And we’re not just supporting it, we’re fueling it through Direct Connection.”

The Rumble Bee lineup first launches with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 in late 2026, followed by the Rumble Bee 392, 392 Track Pack, and Rumble Bee SRT in the first half of 2027.

In Related Stellantis News: Stellantis has agreed to sell its Free2move car-sharing business to Mutares. The transaction, the financial details of which were not disclosed, is expected to conclude by the end of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Free2move offers short- and long-term free-floating carsharing, bookable 24/7 through a proprietary mobile application. It operates one of the most geographically diversified car-sharing platforms, with fleets across 14 cities in Europe and the United States.

The transaction reportedly aligns with the strategy set out in Stellantis’ FaSTLAne 2030 plan, which applies a disciplined approach to capital allocation, directing investments, and resources to the regions, brands, and technologies that can generate the strongest returns.

“By sharpening our focus on core automotive activities, we strengthen our capacity to deliver long-term performance,” says Virgilio Cerutti, head of business development and partnerships at Stellantis. “We are committed to working closely with all stakeholders to support a smooth transition process for customers, partners, and employees.”
