Chelsea — The street truck wars are back.
In the tradition of iconic Mopar pickup hellions like the 1978-79 Li’l Red Express and 2004-06 SRT-10, Ram has introduced its Rumble Bee muscle truck lineup for 2027. Street trucks — pickups channeling their muscle-car siblings with big engines, body mods and lowered chassis — were a fascination in the late 1990s/early 2000s with unique beasts like the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, Chevrolet 454 SS and GMC Syclone.
The SRT-10 was considered the standard with its earth-shaking, Dodge Viper-derived, 8.3-liter V-10 engine and record-breaking 154 mph top speed. The street truck trend faded during the 2008 recession and has been dormant as consumers flocked to off-road hellions like the Ram TRX, Ford F-150 Raptor and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro.
Ford resurrected the street truck idea in 2025 with the lowered, drifting Maverick Lobo and aggressive-looking F-150 Lobo. Now Rumble Bee kicks down the door with a full-blown, full-volume, full-size-street truck revival.
Here are five key things about the 2027 Ram Rumble Bee pickup.
