Some Kind of Ram SRT Muscle Truck Will Debut Tomorrow Afternoon

Ram appears ready to revive an idea that Detroit abandoned years ago: the proper muscle truck.


A short teaser video posted to social media strongly hints Ram is about to drop something lower, louder, and more pavement-focused than the supercharged, off-road-oriented 2027 Ram 1500 TRX. There's not much to go on, but there’s enough there to make it clear this definitely isn’t another desert runner.


Instead, it looks like Ram is building a modern version of the old Dodge Ram SRT-10.

The company dropped a short promotional clip tied to its partnership with UFC president Dana White, who now carries the title of “Rambassador.” Through the shroud of tire smoke is what looks very much like an incoming 2027 Ram 1500 SRT muscle truck, which could be reviving the Rumble Bee name.


Ram hasn’t officially confirmed anything, though the black-and-yellow paint scheme makes the direction pretty obvious.


The mystery pickup sits much lower than a TRX or RHO, wears massive low-profile tires, which look like they're wrapping 22- or even 23-inch wheels. The truck is wearing a TRX-style body kit, including a hood with a functional air scoop and massive fender flares.


The soundtrack leaves little doubt there’s a V8 under the hood.

A lowered street truck with a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 feels like the logical next step, especially as Ford continues to lean heavily into off-road Raptors— including a 900-horsepower version of the Raptor R it showed at SEMA last year— while Chevrolet quietly watches the segment from the sidelines despite having all the right gear to make a wicked street-eating Silverado.


Ford’s F-150 Raptor and Ram’s TRX pushed the segment heavily toward off-road capability over the last decade. Huge suspension travel, beadlock-capable wheels, and enough ground clearance to drive over small hatchbacks became the formula.


The old SRT-10 followed a completely different philosophy. It stuffed an 8.3-liter V10 from the Viper into a regular cab, short box Ram, lowered the suspension, added massive wheels, and transformed the rig into something deeply impractical and irrationally incredible.


For now, all we know officially is that “things are about to get loud.” Until tomorrow, that is.
