Rumble Bee Sold Out in 90 Minutes
Rumble Bee sold out its first allocation within 90 minutes of orders opening, Ram told MoparInsiders this week. Orders for the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 version opened on August 13. The first allocation covered the 2026 calendar year. Within 24 hours, Ram also filled its available production through the end of the first quarter of 2027.
Ram CEO Matt VanDyke called the pace a sign of demand. “The speed at which the Rumble Bee sold out speaks volumes about the passion our customers have for performance trucks,” he said. Fast cars were my passion before overlanding took over. In 2010, my brother and I brought two Corvettes onto Jay Leno’s show. Because of this history, a 395-horsepower V8 pickup with an MSRP below $60,000 makes sense to me. The rush does not surprise me.
If you missed the first round, the truck is not gone for good. Ram has not ended production, and the next order window is expected to open in March 2027. Also, the 392 arrives in the first half of 2027.
If you landed an order, delivery day is next, since trucks reach dealers in the fourth quarter of 2026. Check the truck closely before signing. These three tools make the inspection easier: a paint thickness gauge, an inspection flashlight, and a digital tire gauge.

What Ram Confirmed, and What It Has Not Said
Ram confirmed how fast the Rumble Bee allocation went, plus a priority rule for sold orders. Several details buyers want are still missing.
Ram says sold customer orders within the available allocation receive priority. MoparInsiders reads this to mean retail buyers should move ahead of unsold dealer stock orders as trucks roll through production. However, the report gives no unit count, no exact reopening date, and no word on dealer pricing.
Nothing about the truck itself has changed. The 5.7 makes 395 hp at 5,600 rpm and 410 lb-ft at 3,950 rpm through an eight-speed automatic. Every Rumble Bee also has full-time active four-wheel drive with a rear-drive button. The 0-60 mph run takes an estimated 6.1 seconds, while the quarter mile takes 14.6 seconds at 93 mph, Ram says.
Pricing starts at $59,995 plus $2,795 destination, as Ram laid out in its August 13 order announcement. The total comes to $62,790 before options, taxes, and fees. Our original Rumble Bee reveal covers the full trim lineup and styling.
Rumble Bee 5.7 vs. Rumble Bee 392: Which Do You Wait For?
Waiting is not the only move for buyers who missed the first allocation. Ram says the Rumble Bee 392 arrives in the first half of 2027. Its MSRP starts at $69,995 before destination, $10,000 above the 5.7.
| Trim | Engine | Power | MSRP before destination | On sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 5.7L HEMI V8 | 395 hp, 410 lb-ft | $59,995 | Fourth quarter 2026 |
| 392 | 6.4L HEMI V8 | 470 hp, 455 lb-ft | $69,995 | First half 2027 |
| 392 Track Pack | 6.4L HEMI V8 | 470 hp, 455 lb-ft | $79,995 | First half 2027 |
| SRT | 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 | 777 hp, 680 lb-ft | $94,995 | First half 2027 |
The 392 adds 75 horsepower and 45 lb-ft of torque. Its estimated 0-60 mph time is 5.2 seconds, against 6.1 for the 5.7. Ram also lists a 13.2-second quarter mile at 101 mph. Both share the Quad Cab, short-bed, widebody configuration and full-time four-wheel drive. The Track Pack and SRT rows cost more than the 392. Every price above excludes the $2,795 destination charge.
By the specs, the 392 is the better muscle truck. Our 6.4L HEMI reliability and specs guide covers its MDS lifter and exhaust manifold concerns. The 5.7 stays the cheaper way in, and Ram plans a Direct Connection supercharger kit for extra power. Ram targets more than 600 horsepower, and the kit carries a $10,995 MSRP before installation. If speed matters most, wait for the 392. A lower starting price points to the next 5.7 window instead.
What This Means for You
We dug deep into the Rumble Bee enthusiast forums. Buyers keep raising the same worries: dealer lists, markups, deposits, and timing. The steps below answer each one, then add one practical check.
Join More Than One Dealer List
Forum buyers report uneven allocation. Some dealers told buyers they were not taking orders yet, while others were. Ask each dealer how its Rumble Bee allocation works. Then ask whether it will hold your name for the next order window. Forum posts also describe buyers planning to buy from dealers outside their area and have the truck shipped home.
Get the Price and Deposit Terms in Writing
Ram publishes a suggested retail price, but each dealer sets its own selling price. Forum buyers report quotes above sticker at some dealers and MSRP offers at others. Deposit terms also vary, from a refundable deposit credited to the purchase to a large non-refundable demand buyers pushed back on. Ask for the price, the deposit, and the refund terms in writing.
Also ask which launch colors and wheels your order locks in. Ram lists Ceramic Gray, Serrano Green, Rumble Bee Yellow, and the 20-inch wheels as late availability. Confirm what your truck gets at launch. Our Ram TRX allocation and ordering guide covers early allocation and likely dealer markups on the 777-horsepower Ram TRX.
Plan for a Truck This Wide
Ram lists the Rumble Bee at 88 inches wide and 219.5 inches long. Measure your garage and driveway before delivery, especially if the truck will share space with other vehicles. Next, wall protectors and a rubber wheel stop help you park an 88-inch-wide truck without scraping the walls.

Weigh the Cost of Waiting
Waiting means more months without the truck. Ram builds every Rumble Bee in Saltillo, Mexico, and build location shapes tariff exposure. Our truck tariffs and 2027 pricing guide explains how build location affects the January 1 tariff plan. Some forum buyers cite the Ram 1500 RHO and TRX, where they say supply caught up, as a reason to wait. Treat the idea as a guess, not a Ram commitment. Then weigh the cost against the 392 option above.
Final Thoughts
The sell-out shows demand, but Ram has not ended production. If you hold a sold order within the available allocation, Ram says it gets priority, which MoparInsiders reads as ahead of unsold dealer stock. Without one, the next round of orders gives you another chance, and the 392 gives you a second option.
My advice is simple. Get on more than one list, get every number in writing, and set a ceiling before you visit a dealership. I would not pay over sticker for a truck still in production.
A V8 pickup like this one draws strong demand, and I understand why. Missing the first round stings, especially at a $59,995 starting price. Plan now, because the next Rumble Bee allocation is expected to open in March 2027.
