Ram’s entry-level Ram Rumble Bee sold out its whole 2026 allocation in 90 minutes. The truck in question is the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee 5.7, which starts at $59,995. Ram announced the sellout on October 1, 2026. It also said every slot through March 2027 filled within 24 hours.
It’s the least expensive of the three new Rumble Bee trucks. However, Ram has not said how many trucks the allocation held. So the 90 minutes tells us how fast buyers moved, not how many trucks they bought.
The name comes with history. In fact, Ram says the new truck draws on the Li’l Red Express, the SRT-10 and the original Rumble Bee. Beyond that list of names, the release doesn’t go into the older trucks.
What Ram Said About the Ram Rumble Bee Sellout
The news came in a short Stellantis media release dated October 1, 2026. It says the initial 2026 calendar-year allocation of the Rumble Bee 5.7 sold out in 90 minutes. Then all available allocation through March 2027 filled within 24 hours.
Ram CEO Matt VanDyke put it plainly in the release. “The speed at which the Rumble Bee sold out speaks volumes about the passion our customers have for performance trucks,” he said.
The release also says buyers with sold orders inside the allocation get priority status. That way, those trucks reach customers first. Meanwhile, Ram did not announce any extra allocation beyond March 2027.
Price and Power of the 5.7 Truck
The sellout release itself doesn’t list a price. Instead, the figure comes from MoparInsiders’ report on the sellout. It puts the Rumble Bee 5.7 at $59,995 before a $2,795 destination charge. Together, that’s $62,790 before options.
For that money, buyers get a 5.7-liter HEMI V8. MoparInsiders lists 395 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 410 lb-ft of torque at 3,950 rpm. The engine drives through a TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic and a 3.92 rear axle, according to the same report.
The numbers on the street are just as specific. MoparInsiders gives a 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds. It also lists a quarter-mile of 14.6 seconds at 93 mph. Carscoops reported the same output and times, and it adds that the truck uses active four-wheel drive.
Where the 5.7 Sits in the Rumble Bee Lineup
The 5.7 is the first step of three. In July 2026, MoparInsiders published Ram’s full Rumble Bee pricing. Each figure below comes before the same $2,795 destination charge.
- Rumble Bee 5.7: $59,995, with 395 hp and 410 lb-ft.
- The 392 model: $74,995, with a 6.4-liter HEMI rated at 470 hp and 455 lb-ft.
- A 392 Track Pack version: $79,995.
- Rumble Bee SRT: $94,995, with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI rated at 777 hp and 680 lb-ft.
The gap in performance is wide. For example, MoparInsiders lists the 392 at 5.2 seconds to 60 mph and 13.2 seconds at 101 mph in the quarter. By comparison, the SRT runs 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 116 mph. It also has a 170-mph top speed.
Ram makes a bold claim for the set. Its release calls the Rumble Bee the first and only muscle truck with three distinct HEMI V8 powertrains. That’s Ram’s own wording, and the three engines above back up the count.
The $750,000 First Truck
The sellout followed a high-profile sale in September. At Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction, the first production Rumble Bee SRT crossed the block for charity. According to Carscoops, it sold for $750,000.
That truck didn’t go alone, though. It sold alongside a customized 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SRT-10, which also brought $750,000. Motor Illustrated reported that both trucks went to UFC president and CEO Dana White, for a combined $1.5 million.
The auction truck was not stock, either. Motor Illustrated says it wore a larger 3.0-liter supercharger from Mopar’s Direct Connection catalog. As a result, that one-off makes over 900 horsepower. The money went to Folds of Honor and the UFC Foundation, according to both reports.
What Happens Next for Buyers
Anyone who missed the first window still has a path. MoparInsiders says Ram expects the next ordering window in March 2027. Until then, the allocation through the first quarter is spoken for.
The 392 and SRT trucks were not part of this sellout news. Ram’s release covers only the 5.7, so their order status remains open on the record. Still, the speed of the first sale gives dealers a clear read on demand.
For now, the record is short and specific. Ram says the 2026 allocation of the $59,995 Rumble Bee 5.7 sold out in 90 minutes, and the order book through March 2027 filled within 24 hours.
