Ram’s performance renaissance is officially underway, and it’s bigger than most enthusiasts dared to hope. Ever since Tim Kuniskis came back to lead the Ram brand, two decisions have lit up the Mopar faithful: he put the Hemi back under the hood of the half-ton lineup, and he resurrected the Street and Racing Technology (SRT) badge. At Stellantis Investor Day 2026, a single product-roadmap slide quietly confirmed just how far that revival will reach over the next four years, teasing a wave of SRT-badged machines spread across Ram, Dodge and Jeep.

All told, the slide pointed to eight new SRT trucks and SUVs, led off by the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, which is the first to actually reach the street. Stellantis hasn’t handed out spec sheets for the rest, but the silhouettes, names and existing hardware give us plenty to work with. Here’s a rundown of what Kuniskis and his crew of horsepower devotees appear to be cooking up, along with our read on where each one is headed.
The Rumble Bee SRT Has Already Landed
The first product from the reborn SRT division broke cover back in May as the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT. There are actually three Rumble Bee variants, and while the two lesser models make do with naturally aspirated Hemi V8 power, the SRT version steps up to the newest take on the supercharged 6.2-liter “Hellcat” Hemi.
With 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque on tap, the Rumble Bee SRT is positioned to be the quickest and fastest production pickup ever built, with Ram projecting an 11.6-second quarter mile at 116 mph and a 170-mph top speed. Backing up those numbers is a deep roster of performance hardware, including oversized Brembo brakes, adaptive Bilstein dampers and the widest performance tires Mopar has fitted to anything short of the Dodge Viper.
More SRT Muscle From Ram: Dakota and Ramcharger
Reading between the lines of the Stellantis presentation, SRT plans to expand beyond the Ram 1500 with hot-rodded versions of the Dakota and the Ramcharger. The catch is that neither of those nameplates currently exists in showrooms, which leaves enormous room for speculation.
We expect the Dakota to return as a mid-size pickup aimed squarely at the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado. What’s far less clear is whether an SRT Dakota would be tuned to hammer pavement or shred dirt. Because the Ram 1500 family already covers both bases with the off-road TRX and the street-focused Rumble Bee, the smaller truck could swing either way, though the off-road bent of its mid-size rivals makes a Ranger Raptor fighter feel likely.
A Hemi swap would be fun, but a high-output Hurricane inline-six looks like the smarter bet for the Dakota. Stellantis is known to be testing stouter versions of the Hurricane internally, and with V8s handling big-power duty in the Ram 1500 and Charger, the mid-size truck is a natural home for a turbocharged six.
The Ramcharger story is even more intriguing. The name many of us expected to land on an extended-range electric half-ton instead appears destined for a large SUV. Given the badge’s history and the fact that the covered vehicle in the slide looks like a Ram 1500 wearing a longer roof, a body-on-truck SUV seems plausible. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer already shares its platform with the Ram 1500, and while a rebadge is unlikely, a big truck-based hauler in that vein makes sense. If it rides on the Ram 1500 architecture, expect it to borrow heavily from the SRT pickups, likely including the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi and TRX- or Rumble Bee-derived suspension depending on its mission.
Jeep Lands Two Big SRT SUVs and One Wild Card
Jeep supplies the next batch of SRT firepower. To no one’s surprise, the Grand Cherokee is set to reclaim an SRT model, and it will be joined by a flagship SRT Grand Wagoneer. Since those two trucks serve different buyers, SRT could give both Hellcat power or differentiate them, perhaps pairing a supercharged V8 with the Grand Wagoneer and a hotter Hurricane six with the Grand Cherokee.
Whatever ends up under the hood, both should arrive with Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, aggressive rubber at all four corners and cabins stuffed with premium kit. The real curveball, though, is the Jeep Wrangler Scrambler. The cloaked image looks loosely shaped like the Gladiator parked beside it, but the Wrangler name hints at a two-door body, possibly with an open rear. Cast your mind back to the 2016 Wrangler-based Trailcat that stormed Moab with Hellcat power, and a production version of that idea would be an absolute monster.

Dodge Grows Its SRT SUV Family
For now, the lone SRT SUV in Dodge showrooms is the Durango SRT Hellcat, which has somehow soldiered on with supercharged V8 power even as the Charger, Challenger and Ram 1500 Hellcat models faded away. The current Durango SRT Hellcat serves up 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, but with the Rumble Bee SRT now setting the bar at 777 and 680, a power bump for the big Dodge feels not just possible but probable.
The GLH, on the other hand, is a genuine puzzle. Dodge floated a pair of Hornet GLH concepts a few years back, but the compact Hornet was axed after 2025. The covered vehicle on the slide looks smaller than the Durango, so it likely rides on one of the small Jeeps or one of the new Chrysler crossovers expected soon. If the SRT GLH is built on a compact crossover, it could be the first performance home for the turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane four that recently arrived in the Grand Cherokee. In that Jeep it makes 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, so with an SRT massaging, it could turn the GLH into a deliciously spicy little SUV.
The Bottom Line
Concrete details remain thin for seven of these eight models, but the message from Stellantis is loud and clear: SRT is no longer a memory. Between Hemi V8s, an expanding Hurricane family and a roster that spans pickups, mid-size trucks and SUVs of every size, the Mopar performance era looks ready to roar back to life. We’ll be watching closely as each of these machines steps out of the shadows.
