Before you begin your shopping journey, we think it's important that you know some of the biggest changes for this year. There are some features and trims that are entirely new to the Ram 1500 family. Plus, some already popular features are now more widely available across the latest lineup. We think this might be the most dynamic Ram 1500 lineup yet. Let's dive in! Introducing the All-New Rumble Bee The Ram 1500 has expanded its identities once again. This year, Ram gives us the Rumble Bee series. The Rumble Bee is what we call a muscle truck. It's all about a roaring engine, aggressive style, and track-ready performance. This truck is for Okemos drivers who like to rev their engines more than their power tools. It's made for burning rubber. Rumble Bee: Engineered for Performance There are four Rumble Bee variants: Rumble Bee, Rumble Bee SRT, Rumble Bee 392, and Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack. What the three have in common is an ultra-low, ultra-wide stance, designed to grip the road at high speeds. A short wheelbase is standard, too, which allows for tight maneuvering. The Rumble Bee Engines: 5.7L HEMI V8: 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque 6.2L HEMI V8: 777 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque 6.4L HEMI V8: 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque The Rumble Bee stats: Top speed: 170 mph Quarter mile: 11.6 seconds 0 to 60: 3.4 seconds When it's time to come to a stop after taking that top speed to the limit, the performance Brembo brakes will get the job done. And here are a few other exciting facts about what the new Rumble Bee has to offer: Its track mode controls the engine, transmission, shifting, throttle response, steering, and suspension, making them track-ready. On the Rumble Bee SRT trim, track mode adjusts the air suspension to its lowest height for better performance, handling, and driving dynamics. Launch control, found on both the Rumble Bee SRT and Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack trims, plays a role in wheel slip, torque delivery, and shift timing for a heart-pounding blast-off. Rumble Bee: Striking Aesthetics The Rumble Bee trim stands out from the rest of the 2027 Ram 1500 lineup thanks to its distinctive styling of a bright yellow exterior paired with striking black racing stripes and accents that mimic the look of a real bumblebee. The sports performance hood not only looks aggressive but also maximizes airflow for performance when the Ram is at its top speed. The Rumble Bee rolls on 22-inch aluminum wheels. You can choose between street performance tires for classic track style or ultra-high performance tires for some serious grip. Other details, like a one-piece fascia and front splitters, enhance performance and aesthetics. Upgraded Tech for the RHO Trim If you're considering the RHO, the high-performance off-road trim, you'll like this: it gets a new Popular Equipment Group. The group includes a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 reconfigurable touchscreen and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. For reference across the 2027 trim lineup, displays range from the standard 8.4-inch, 12-inch, and 14.5-inch. So the RHO now has the largest available touchscreen. The 14.5-inch touchscreen has a split-screen feature, allowing you to cast two apps at once. So you can have your navigation app displayed next to your music app, your weather app next to your podcast app—the possibilities are endless. Then, with the 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, it will deliver a listening experience that complements your off-road adventures. Rocking out while rock climbing steep terrain just got a whole lot better. Expanded Onboard Power Options The Ram 1500 appeals to a range of Okemos residents—from professionals to off-roaders to campers to performance drivers. But, there's one thing most of these drivers have in common: the need to plug in appliances on the go, especially in remote locations. And whether you're plugging in a charger for your drill or your electric dirt bike, you need power to do it. When the places you work or adventure don't have outlets, you'll be pleased with more trims having access to the 2kW onboard power feature across the 2027 Ram 1500 lineup. You'll access this via two 120V outlets in the pickup bed. For 2027, trims equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque gain access to this feature. In prior years, only pricier engines came with this popular perk. So you no longer have to spring for a V8 to have the freedom to plug in appliances and devices on the go. Drivers interested in the superior fuel economy of the V6 can finally have it all: portable power and solid MPGs. Enhanced Visibility With 360-Degree Cameras Between pedestrians in the city, kids playing in the suburbs, coworkers on the jobsite, or animals on the trails, there's a lot to look out for when you're driving your Ram. The Ram 1500's 360-degree camera system has been great for that. However, it has only recently become standard on a few upper-flagship trims in the last few years. For 2027, the Limited, Limited Longhorn, and RHO all have a standard 360-degree camera system. So you'll have a clear view of what's happening from all angles around your vehicle if you choose one of these trims. It's also available for the Laramie and the Rebel Level 1 Equipment Groups for the first time. More Cargo Flexibility: RamBox Deletion The famous RamBox, for those who don't know, is a lockable, weatherproof cargo management system built into the siderails of the Ram 1500 bed. For many drivers, it's a major advantage, especially when they need to protect valuables from the Okemos winter weather. However, the reality remains that it does eat up some of that valuable bed real estate. For 2027, shoppers who choose the Limited or Limited Longhorn have the option to delete the RamBox, creating even more cargo space in the bed.
