The Muscle Truck Is Back, and It Still Works for a Living.

Cutting 330 mm (13 in.) out of the wheelbase gives every Rumble Bee its tough, compact stance, and Ram says the shorter frame is also 10% stiffer than a standard Ram 1500. The Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 pair that stance with a bold grille, widebody fenders and body-colour bumpers in Detonator Yellow, Molten Red or Ceramic Gray, plus new compact mirrors that sit tighter to the body than any Ram before.

The 392 Track Pack and SRT get bodywork that’s there for a reason: a deep front splitter, lower grille openings that feed air straight to the brakes and cooling, and an 80 mm rear spoiler that keeps the back end planted at speed. Both ride on 22 x 12-inch wheels with 325 mm rear tires, one of the widest setups Ram has ever put on a production vehicle, and the SRT offers its own Blacktop paint option for the hood and roof.

Every Rumble Bee gets the same driver-first cockpit: a flat-bottom steering wheel, a console-mounted G/T shifter, aluminum paddles and a 12.3-inch digital cluster with its own start-up animation. The base Rumble Bee keeps things simple with manual cloth buckets in Greystone stitching and an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen. The Rumble Bee 392 adds a 10-way power cloth seat, Twill trim accents and a 12-inch touchscreen.

The 392 Track Pack steps up to 12-way power leather and suede seats with Prowler Yellow stitching that carries into the back seat, plus metal sill plates at every door. The SRT tops the range with Natura Plus leather and suede, Desert Orange stitching, a suede headliner and carbon fibre trim with an engraved glovebox badge. Every trim keeps four full-size doors, so the back seat is never an afterthought.

The engine you pick defines the truck. The Rumble Bee starts with a 5.7L HEMI V-8 making 395 hp and 410 lb-ft, paired with an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic. Full-time active four-wheel drive is standard on every trim, and a button on the console lets you disconnect the front axle for pure rear-wheel drive when conditions allow.

The Rumble Bee 392 and 392 Track Pack use a 6.4L HEMI V-8 rated at 470 hp and 455 lb-ft, while the SRT’s supercharged 6.2L HEMI makes 777 hp and 680 lb-ft. Track Pack and SRT trims add an electronic spool differential that sends power evenly to both rear tires. Every trim tows up to 4,032 kg (8,890 lbs) and carries up to 526 kg (1,160 lbs) of payload.

Screens grow with the trim, from 8.4 inches on the Rumble Bee to 12 inches on the 392 models and 14.5 inches on the SRT. All of them support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and built-in navigation with one-step voice destination entry. A configurable head-up display is available from the 392 trims up and becomes a full-colour, 10-inch-wide unit on the SRT.

Performance Pages come standard on every Rumble Bee, logging acceleration times, g-forces and engine data you can save to a USB drive. Active Driving Assist is optional on the 392 and standard from the 392 Track Pack up. Audio ranges from a 10-speaker Alpine system on the 392 trims to a 19-speaker Harman Kardon setup with a 10-inch subwoofer on the SRT, and a 360-degree camera is available to make hitching and parking easier.
