Ram Prices the Rumble Bee From $59,995 — 777-hp SRT Stays Under $95K Before Destination

Add the OEM $2,795 destination and the as-delivered ladder is $62,790, $72,790, $82,790, and $97,790. The 395-hp 5.7 lands at dealers late 2026. The 470-hp 392, Track Pack, and 777-hp SRT follow in the first half of 2027.

U.S. MSRP ladder before destination, plus the $2,795 destination Ram printed on July 29:

Ram’s July 29 release printed the 5.7 at $59,995 plus destination and the SRT as starting under $95,000 plus destination. Motor1 printed the four dest-inclusive stickers the same day. Subtract the OEM $2,795 destination and the middle two land on $69,995 and $79,995. That is the ladder. Destination is freight, not a dealer add-on frozen as MSRP.

TruckDaily take

Real OEM pricing. Ram did not hang a bee graphic on a regular 1500 and call it a day. It cut 13 inches out of the wheelbase, locked the cab-bed to Quad Cab / 5-ft-7, and priced a factory muscle-truck sub-line from $59,995 before freight. The 777-hp SRT staying under $95,000 before destination is the halo. The 5.7 at sixty grand is the shot at the market.

Who it’s for. The shopper who wanted a factory muscle truck, not a lifted trail toy and not a Crew Cab work truck with a stripe. The 5.7 buyer who will live at $62,790 as-delivered, or Direct Connection the rest, which is exactly what Tim Kuniskis said on July 29. The 392 buyer who has waited for a 6.4 in a Ram 1500. The Track Pack buyer who wants the Brembos, air suspension, and e-spool without the supercharger. Anyone who will actually use four doors and a 5-ft-7 box, and who can live with 8,890 lb of tow and 1,160 lb of payload as the published maxima.

Who should skip. Skip it if you need a Crew Cab rear seat or a 6-foot-4 bed. That configuration is not on this sub-line. Skip it if 1,160 lb of payload or 8,890 lb of tow is the job — those are the OEM lineup maxima, not a Heavy Duty. Skip the SRT if the sibling you actually wanted is the TRX at about $102,790 with dest; that is a different truck. Skip waiting for mpg, ground clearance, or per-trim tow and payload. Those are Not published. Skip treating Motor1’s dest-inclusive column as a before-freight MSRP.

What we’d actually buy. 392 Track Pack, Quad Cab / 5-ft-7 widebody, $79,995 before dest ($82,790 with dest): 470-hp 6.4, four-corner air, 16.1-inch six-piston Brembos, e-spool, launch control, the 13-inch-shorter frame. Same exclusive body as the SRT. Not 777 hp. Not $94,995. If the budget is the 5.7 at $59,995, buy that only if you want the body first and will own the Direct Connection path Kuniskis already admitted.

The news is the sticker, not a teaser

July 29 is the pricing day. March 27 was the subsegment launch. The March Stellantis kit gave the hardware: three HEMI V8s, the shortened frame, the Quad Cab short bed, 8,890 lb tow, 1,160 lb payload, and the SRT’s 3.4-second 0–60. The July Ram newsroom post put dollars on that kit.

The 5.7 is the one that lands first. Late 2026. $59,995 plus $2,795 destination. $62,790 is the number a buyer writes on a worksheet before options. Ram’s own headline language is “starts under $60K” because it is counting MSRP, not freight. Count both. Destination is not optional.

Kuniskis, on the record in the July 29 Ram release: “The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 lands in showrooms first with a sub $60k MSRP, hitting right at the heart of the truck market. 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.”

That is the 5.7’s job. It is a customizable starting point, not a stripped halo. It still gets the unique frame, the widebody Quad Cab, full-time 4WD with a RWD button, the flat-bottom wheel, the console shifter, and the paddles. It does not get eTorque or stop/start. It keeps MDS. Fuel economy is still Not published.

One cab, one bed, 13 inches gone

The body is the product. Stellantis North America’s 2027 Ram 1500 kit lists a new Quad Cab, 5-foot 7-inch bed, widebody configuration. The March muscle-truck release calls that combo exclusive, cuts 13 inches of wheelbase out of the frame behind the B-pillars, and claims 10 percent less flex. Overall length is 219.5 inches. Width is 88 inches.

Ram 1500 shoppers already know the usual map: Quad Cab with a 6-foot-4 box, Crew Cab with a 5-foot-7. Rumble Bee is the other way around — the smaller four-door with the short box, then shoved 13 inches shorter between the axles. Four doors stay. A usable bed stays. Crew Cab does not. A second bed length does not. If the family test is rear-seat adults on a long trip, this is the wrong 1500.

Track width is part of the same kit: longer front arms, a rear axle 7 inches wider than a standard 1500, 6.8 inches more front track on the steel-spring trucks. That is why it looks stubby and planted. It is also why you do not cross-shop it against a regular Quad Cab as if the Bee were an appearance package.

The $10,000 steps, then the SRT

Motor1’s July 29 dest-inclusive table is the clean ladder: $62,790, $72,790, $82,790, $97,790. Ten thousand dollars between the 5.7 and the 392. Ten more to the Track Pack. Fifteen more to the SRT.

The 392 is the first factory 6.4 in a Ram 1500. 470 hp, 455 lb-ft, same 8HP75 and 3.92 axle as the 5.7. Ram’s 0–60 for that truck is 5.2 seconds. That is the naturally aspirated buy if you want displacement and will not pay for adaptive air and the big Brembos.

The Track Pack keeps that 6.4. Same 470 hp and 455 lb-ft. What Ram published is hardware: four-corner air, Bilstein Damptronic Sky, a 1.5-inch drop in track mode, 16.1-inch inverted-hat rotors with six-piston Brembos, e-spool, launch control, the 22-by-12 wheels and 325/40R22 tires, the splitter and 80-mm tailgate spoiler. Stellantis: 0.89 g on the skidpad for the adaptive trucks, more than 20 percent better than the entry Bee. Track Pack 0–60 is Not published as its own cell. Use the 392’s 5.2 only for the 392.

The SRT is the 6.2 supercharged HEMI at 777 hp and 680 lb-ft. Ram, July 29: most powerful, quickest, and fastest V8-powered production pickup; 0–60 in 3.4 seconds; 11.6-second quarter; 170-mph top speed; E-spool; launch control; under $95,000 plus destination. Stellantis in March called 170 mph targeted and published the quarter at 11.6 seconds / 116 mph. Those are the two published lines. Targeted is not a trap-speed test.

Against the sibling TRX SRT, Motor1 puts the off-road truck at $102,790 with destination. Ram’s June 22 TRX order post is $99,995 plus $2,795 destination — $102,790. The Bee SRT undercuts that by about $5,000 dest-on. Same 777 hp. Different job. The Rumble Bee sticker is the story here.

Truck numbers that are real, and the ones that are not

Ram did not pretend this is a work truck. It also did not strip the hitch. Lineup max conventional tow is 8,890 pounds. Lineup max payload is 1,160 pounds. Those figures repeat on the July pricing page and the March launch kit. They are maxima, not a menu. Which Bee tows 8,890, and which one is lower, is Not published. Payload by trim is Not published. Ground clearance is Not published. EPA mpg is Not published.

1,160 lb of payload is the tell. A shopper loading mulch and a fifth-wheel is in the wrong office. A shopper who wants a short, wide, four-door V8 that will still pull a modest trailer is in the right one. Judge the truck on the published max, then decide.

Inside, Ram published a shared performance layout: flat-bottom wheel, console shifter, aluminum paddles. Screen size is not one number across the line. Stellantis lists 8.4-inch Uconnect on the entry Bee, 12-inch on the 392, and 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 on the SRT, with a 12.3-inch cluster across the line. Active Driving Assist (L2) is available on the 392 and standard on Track Pack and SRT. The July Ram release lists 14.5-inch, 12.3-inch cluster, and HUD as available technology, not as base 5.7 content.

Built in Saltillo. 5.7 late 2026. 392, Track Pack, and SRT in the first half of 2027. That timing is on both the July pricing page and the March kit. The July page is the one that adds the Track Pack to the on-sale sentence with the 392 and SRT.

What you are not buying

This is not a rumor. Ram printed U.S. MSRP on July 29.

This is not a Crew Cab. It is not a 6-foot-4 bed. A 4×2-only Rumble Bee is not in the published kit.

This is not a Heavy Duty. 8,890 lb and 1,160 lb are the published capability box.

Track Pack horsepower matches the 392. Per-trim tow, mpg, and a ground-clearance inch stay Not published.

It is the first factory muscle-truck sub-line: four widebody, on-road-focused half-tons with three HEMI V8s, priced in public, starting at $59,995 before destination. That is the story.
