TRX Transplant! Ram's New SRT-Badged Rumble Bee Street Truck Has a 777-HP Hellcat Heart
- Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis unveiled three 2027 Rumble Bee street trucks at the Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, reviving a classic nameplate with exclusive V8 power across all three models.
- Kuniskis acknowledged past street-truck attempts failed roughly 20 years ago, saying the strategy was 'not right,' prompting Ram to recalibrate its approach for this new performance lineup.
- The range-topping Rumble Bee SRT pairs a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 777 horsepower with a targeted 3.4-second 0-60 mph sprint and 170 mph top speed, making it the most powerful gas-powered truck ever.
- Kuniskis targets the 'heart of the segment' for the 5.7-liter model, while the SRT variant could reach roughly $100,000, though exact pricing remains unconfirmed pending final dealer announcements.
- Stephanie Brinley, an auto analyst with S&P Global Mobility, sees a sales opportunity for Ram but cautioned that the new street-focused trucks might create 'cannibalization' within the brand, where buyers switch from other Ram models.
