The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee lineup is the biggest thing to happen to the truck world in many moons, as Ma Mopar brings back the high-performance street truck segment with a trio of badass machines. Right now, only the Rumble Bee powered by the 5.7-liter Hemi is available, and with these 395-horsepower muscle trucks reaching dealerships soon, the Build and Price feature has gone live on the Ram Trucks website.
Here is a look at the complete pricing of the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee and all of the options available as this cool new package goes on sale. Oh, and for those who read a report about how the Rumble Bees are sold out — it isn’t exactly true, and we will address that as well.
“Base” Rumble Bee Details
The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is powered by the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter Hemi V8, delivering 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel-drive system. According to the company, this Rumble Bee should scoot from a stop to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 14.6 seconds at 93 miles per hour.
More significantly, this is the first production truck to showcase the model-specific frame and body/box combination that is only offered on the Rumble Bee trucks. To make the Quad Cab work with the 5-foot-7-inch bed, the engineers trimmed 13 inches from the existing frame. The team then added specially tuned suspension components to help this truck handle better than your average Hemi-powered half-ton, thanks to a track width that is 6.8 inches wider than that of the other half-ton trucks (not counting the RHO and TRX).
Of course, in addition to the unique wheels, the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee comes with a performance hood featuring a big front-facing scoop and dual vents, along with a sporty grille and front bumper — leaving no question that this is a performance truck. For those Ram fans who want the roar of the Hemi and the look of a high-performance sport truck on a budget, this base Rumble Bee is perfect.
2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Build and Price
The Rumble Bee Build and Price section is part of the 2027 Ram 1500 model. This package is only available as a Quad Cab with the 5-foot-7-inch box and four-wheel drive, so those options are preselected before you get into making any choices. Ram lists the base 5.7-liter Rumble Bee at $59,995 before destination, or $62,790 with the $2,795 destination fee. The configuration shown here totals $64,785 including destination and the 22-inch wheel-and-tire package; it is not the base MSRP.
The Rumble Bee is available in six exterior colors, three of which are free while the other three come with a modest upcharge. Ceramic Gray, Bright White and Rumble Bee Yellow are all “free,” while Diamond Crystal Black, Molten Red and Serrano Green each cost $445. Based on those numbers, the package-specific yellow really seems like a great deal.
There Aren’t Many Options Inside or Out
As mentioned above, there are six exterior color options for the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee, but there aren’t many other choices to be made with this 395-horsepower sport truck. For $495, you can add a hood graphic, and for another $1,225, you can add the bedside graphics. You can also add the Bed Utility Group, which includes an exterior 115-volt outlet, adjustable tie-downs from Mopar and additional lighting in the cargo box, for $395. If you want to protect whatever you have plugged into the outlet in the box, a Mopar tonneau cover is available for $1,500. Those are all of the exterior options.
Inside, cloth seats are standard, and there is no optional upholstery choice for the Rumble Bee. The 8.4-inch Uconnect screen is also standard, but buyers can add the integrated trailer brake controller for $295. There is also a set of Mopar rubber floor mats that cover the front and rear carpeting for $215. As a new Ram 1500 owner with those mats, I would absolutely recommend checking that box. Finally, an engine block heater rounds out the option list at $195.
When you check every box, including picking one of the premium exterior colors that cost extra, the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee has an MSRP of $69,550. That includes the Molten Red paint, both graphics packages, the tonneau cover, the floor mats, the trailer brake controller, the Bed Utility Group and the engine block heater.
The Rumble Bee Isn’t Actually Sold Out
Earlier this month, the news spread across social media that “the Rumble Bee was sold out.” This information was based on a press release that many people misunderstood, leaving some to believe that all of these performance trucks — including the Hellcat-powered models — were totally sold out. That is not the case at all.
All allocations for the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee are spoken for by dealerships. This does not mean there is a designated buyer waiting for every single 5.7-liter-powered Rumble Bee — it only means that dealerships want them on their lots. Once these trucks begin shipping, anyone who wants to buy one should be able to find one available at a dealership, but it might take some hunting to find the best price.
The Hellcat Rumble Bee Is Coming
While the only Ram 1500 Rumble Bee currently available is the “base” truck with the 5.7-liter Hemi, the Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee SRT are both slated to arrive during the 2027 calendar year. As the name denotes, the Rumble Bee 392 is powered by the 392-cubic-inch Hemi, delivering 470 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque, while the Rumble Bee SRT is the pinnacle street-performance truck, packing 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque.
In addition to the supercharged Hellcat Hemi, the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT will come with a high-performance brake package, an adaptive suspension system and enhanced aerodynamics. As a result, while this truck is incredibly quick on the drag strip — with the promise of stock quarter-mile times in the mid-11-second range — it could also be the best-handling half-ton the world has ever seen from the factory.
