To say Ram has been thoroughly enjoying the comeback of its V-8 powertrains would be putting it mildly. Alongside the return of the off-road-focused TRX, Ram has also created a genuinely performance-oriented truck range in the form of the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee line-up. Even though deliveries of the first 5.7-litre versions will not begin until the end of this year, and more powerful variants are due in 2027, Mopar’s Direct Connection catalogue has already expanded to support all three versions of the truck with high-output supercharger kits and other performance upgrades. Every Rumble Bee model will now be available with a supercharger package built around Direct Connection’s 3.0-litre twin-screw blower, irrespective of the V-8 engine under the bonnet. Ram says this setup will take the 5.7-litre trucks to around 600 horsepower, while the 6.4-litre versions should produce more than 700 hp. On the SRT model, the 6.2-litre Hellcat’s existing 2.4-litre supercharger is replaced by the larger unit, which Ram says should push output to beyond 900 hp. No matter which version buyers choose as their starting point, the package carries an MSRP of $10,995. Customers who get the hardware fitted by an ASE-certified Mopar technician will retain the truck’s five-year / 60,000-mile warranty through Direct Connection. The kits also include model-specific badging upgrades, with powertrain-specific supercharger logos in matching colours for each version.

A Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system is also being offered, either as a companion upgrade to the blower kits or as a standalone option. It is a full stainless-steel system featuring an X-pipe and a 5-inch exhaust tip carrying Direct Connection branding. MSRP depends on the engine option: $1599 for 5.7-litre trucks, $2299 for the 392 models, and $2399 for the SRT. A range of graphics packages will also be made available.

Direct Connection will additionally sell a suspension package for the coil-sprung Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 variants. This setup uses Ridetech components, including HQ-series coilovers with 24-way adjustable damping and high-tensile steel springs. Suspension geometry remains unchanged thanks to tubular front control arms. The end result is a 1-inch drop at the front and a 3-inch drop at the rear, which Ram says should also improve the truck’s cornering ability. The package has an MSRP of $4590 before installation, and it is covered by a three-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty.

The Direct Connection components will be launched alongside their respective vehicles, which means late 2026 for the Rumble Bee and the first half of 2027 for the Rumble Bee 392 and SRT. That should give customers ample time to plan their builds and get in touch with their local ASE-certified Mopar technician.
