Today, Ram has a truck for every customer - from the work-ready Tradesman to full-blown luxury in Tungsten. That kind of range makes it hard to predict the second vehicle for a customer. But, for muscle car owners, data proves it's a pickup and the connection has been staring us in the face since the era reignited almost two decades ago," said Kuniskis. "Somehow, the idea of muscle trucks was labeled unnecessary, but since that describes so many products that captivated enthusiasts' hearts, minds and wallets, Ram is going all-in - pushing for the last tenth with a full range of Rumble Bee Muscle Trucks."Ram says the new trucks are intended to revive the spirit of the original Ram SRT10, which left production about 20 years ago. The lineup starts with the standard Rumble Bee, powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. It uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive, though drivers can disconnect the front axle for rear-wheel-drive operation.ram and srt bring back the production track truckStepping up to the Rumble Bee 392 brings the first use of the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 in a Ram 1500.

Ram says these components help improve cooling and stability at higher speeds.ram and srt bring back the production track truckThe exterior design includes widebody fenders, unique badging inspired by vintage Mopar graphics, and exclusive wheel and tire combinations.
