Ram SRT Muscle truck…pic released less than an hour ago

[KnightMare]

looks like they're bringing the ceramic grey back. will any of the paint matched pieces fit on the TRX? (fender flares, grill surround, mirrors, headlight trim surround, etc)

Same pieces from the TRX, should fit just fine

According to Ramtrucks.com

2027 TRX:
0-60 in 3.5 Seconds
0-100mph in 10 Seconds
Quarter Mile in 12.2 Seconds
Top Speed 118mph

2027 SRT Rumble Bee
0-60 in 3.4 Seconds
0-100 not listed
Quarter Mile in 11.6 Seconds
Top Speed 170mph

So yeah, it’s faster (especially the top speed). And I’m guessing it will corner better. But as a TRX owner (even a peasant 2021 with only 702hp), I woke up less excited than I was yesterday. I was never really a customer for this truck, and I hope it sells well, but if I’m doing anything stupid with my money I’m trading up for a new TRX.

The stats are very close because they are essentially the same truck. Just one is lifted and the other is lowered. Axles, control arms, are all shared and some modified. I have a hard time between which truck I want at the moment. leaning towards getting the new Rumble Bee and just get a used TRX.

Kuniskis did say at Roadkill Nights they will improve the Rumble Bee performance, so we will have to wait and see how much those numbers go down.

I think they should offer the rumble bee with a demon 170 option. Now that would be sweet.

....Well word around the campfire was a faster truck could come... whether or not that is a more powerful engine or weight reduction, Kuniskis said Roadkill Nights we will see something there....

Posted this on another thread about the reveal. New member here and saw this picture and was wondering if anyone knows what the yellow car is in the background. There’s rumors of a new dodge car called the copperhead that journalist have gotten to see and I’m wondering if that’s it.View attachment 159044

That’s the NASCAR truck…

I find the tire setup interesting as Goodyear has never made those 325/40/22’s. Tires in that size melt like butter (10-15K miles) and will cost $2-4K a set! Enjoy those donuts!!

Look at his picture again, its not the Nascar truck. I blew it up for you so you can see the differences in the front splitter, headlight and the side vent, not to mention its overall shape/stance/height is completely different from the truck.

It’s about time they do something exciting and build what people want. So glad they axed that idiot Carlos Tavares. Kuniskis knows how to run a brand. Now if only we don’t get another EV mandate push from moron politicians trying to kill the auto industry again, we could see some exciting HP wars

Maybe others are put off by that short cab, short bed pickup... but dang-it this is interesting. I have been on the hunt for a "shorty" raptor super cab as a play truck, but most are beaten to death that come up for sale...

I’m thinking the 392 version would be the perfect Route 66 vehicle. That would be an epic road trip!

Could it be the lower left dodge with no name??? Also a Dakota with srt variant, pretty awesome lineup planned. Only thing missing is a hellcat Pacifica

Great to hear. Betting it's much cheaper through RAM parts department compared to having a bodyshop remove OEM components, smooth, prime, paint, clear, install, etc.

Definitely curious to see what the RAM Charger SRT is all about. If it’s basically a Grand Wagoneer with RAM styling and Hellcat power, I'm in!

Left bottom. The front end looks like Challenger, doesn't it. Hope it won't have the look of the new Charger.

Am I the only 1 getting a Lightning McQueen Vibe?

I would love to get a Grand Wagoneer L with either the 392 or Hell Cat.

That’s an AI picture. My screen shot is from the video of someone at that event. That black truck doesn’t exist.

The lower left Dodge is a copperhead concept see article from mopar insiders. I still wish they would bring the viper back but this would be cool

It appears the copperhead is supposed to be a serious track car, huge wing, aero, etc… wonder what about it means it should be a “copperhead” instead of the viper.

I'd trade up for this. I live in the big city, in an area where the only offroad within an hour drive more than a gravel road or pasture road is in an offroad park really designed around jeeps and SxS. I'm not using my TRX for anything but hauling ass, which this would do better. And it would fit in the myriad of parking garages around here, something my TRX doesn't.

Caveat - Before trading up, I'd have to have a long think about whether I'd buy another Stellantis vehicle given the UConnect 5 debacle.

this sounds exactly like my TRX ownership experience. I loved the truck but it was totally impractical for me to drive it every day in the city. I'm anxiously awaiting more details on the rumblebee 392 track pack. Prior to owning the TRX, I had a 2014 Ram sport 4WD with an SRT 392 swap, headers, corsa exhaust, tuned, 3.92 limited slip rear, short bed, air suspension, etc. It was a much better daily driver and honestly nearly as quick with the lighter weight and better gearing. Still felt big in the city at times but at least I could get it into parking garages. But to have all that combined with a TRX level interior and legitimate handling capabilities sounds like the perfect vehicle.

 

[Mscofield4]

It looks like it's built with a Quad Cab and 5'7" bed, so it should be about 10" shorter than the TRX.

13" actually. they chopped the frame. I have to assume its also using something more similar to the standard ram chassis as opposed to the beefed up TRX frame rails. Then again, the published weight figures do not speak to that. The hellcat version is only like 2-300 pounds lighter than the TRX. I was shocked to see that.
