The Snake Strikes Back
Ram just announced three V8 Rumble Bees. One is a supercharged SRT monster pumping out 777 horsepower. Shelby American saw that and said absolutely not. They needed to flex. So they tweaked their F-150 Super蛇ake. The result is 810 hp.
That’s more juice than Ram’s halo truck.
They take a standard Ford F-150 Lariat 4×4 SuperCrew and force a Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 into shape. A Stage 2 supercharger bolts on top. Add a high-flow air filter. Carbon fiber intake tube. Aluminum heat exchanger. Borla exhaust.
The work pays off. Output jumps from 400 hp to over 800. Previous Super Snake trucks capped out at 775 hp, but those days are over. This is the new ceiling.
Taming the Beasts
Raw power on four wheels isn’t enough. Shelby knows you’ll tear the tires off if they don’t hook up. The Las Vegas tuners installed KING adjustable coilovers. Baer drilled rotors. Exclusive Shelby suspension that lowers the stance.
Plus traction bars and Michelin Pilot Sport tires to keep things on the asphalt.
Visually? It looks dangerous. Dual-intake hood. Painted grille. Ground effects kit. Racing stripes. A body-color tonneau cover sits over the bed. Twenty-two-inch wheels fill the arches. Badges everywhere, obviously.
You can order it in ten colors. Ruby Red. Argon Blue. Avalanche Gray. Star White Metallic. Whatever gets under your skin.
Inside The Cabin
Step inside and it’s less pickup, more cockpit. Top-grain leather covers everything. The Shelby logo is stitched into the seats.
Billet pedals wait under your feet. Carbon fiber trim catches the light. Embroidered mats keep the floor clean. There’s a registry plaque with a unique CSM serial number bolted in the cabin. And under the hood.
Only 600 of these exist.
Is It Worth $140k?
The sticker is $140,790. That includes the base F-150 and a three-year warranty.
Ram hasn’t posted prices for the Rumble Bee. But expect the supercharged SRT version to start near $100,00. You’re paying $40 grand extra for Shelby. You get more horsepower. You get scarcity.
Exclusivity has a cost. Whether $140k buys you peace of mind or just a faster truck on dirt… that depends on how many friends you’re trying to out-accelerate.
“Only 600 units. Each serialized.”
Why build a truck that feels like a car anyway. Maybe no reason at all.
