When Tim Kuniskis returned to the Ram Trucks brand, he made two moves that electrified the Mopar community – bringing the Hemi back to the half-ton lineup and reincarnating the Street and Racing Technology (SRT) program. During the recent Stellantis Investor Day 2026, a graphic showing the company’s new vehicle plans for the next four years revealed an array of new SRT products across the Ram, Dodge and Jeep brands. Among them, a total of 8 new SRT trucks and SUVs, with the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT being the first to come to market.

We do not have any concrete details on the other new SRT Trucks and SUVs coming to the Mopar lineup, but here is a look at what the Kuniskis and his team of horsepower junkies have in store for the American Stellantis brands and some speculation on those upcoming models.

The Rumble Bee SRT is Already Here

2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT

Back in May, the first of the projects from the new SRT division debuted in the form of the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT. There is a trio of Rumble Bee models, with the two non-SRT models getting the naturally aspirated Hemi V8 engines, but the Rumble Bee SRT benefits from the latest variation of the 6.2-liter “Hellcat” Hemi V8.

Packing 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque, the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT promises to be the quickest and fastest production truck ever, with a projected quarter mile time of 11.6 at 116 miles per hour and a top speed of 170. Of course, all of that power is accompanied by a long list of high performance components, including massive Brembo brakes, adaptive Bilstein dampers and the widest performance tires that have ever been offered on any vehicle from Ma Mopar, aside from the Dodge Viper.

More SRT Trucks and SUVs from Ram

Based on the Stellantis presentation, we know that SRT plans to add high performance variants of the Dakota and Ramcharger to join the Ram 1500. Right now, the Dakota and Ramcharger don’t exist at all, so there is endless room for speculation here.

We expect that the Dakota will be a mid-sized pickup, designed to compete with the likes of the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado. What we don’t know is whether the SRT version of the Dakota will be engineered to go fast on pavement or in the dirt. Seeing as how the Ram 1500 lineup has the TRX and the Rumble Bee, the mid-sized SRT pickup could go either direction. On the other hand, seeing as how the other sporty models in the mid-sized segment are all off-road trucks, the SRT Dakota could be built to battle the Ford Ranger Raptor.

In either case, while a Hemi would be cool, a Hurricane inline-6 seems like the more likely option for the high performance Dakota. We know that there are higher-powered versions of the Hurricane platform being tested internally, and with Hemi V8s providing the big power for the Ram 1500 and Charger, the SRT Dakota seems like a great option for big Hurricane power.

As for the Ramcharger, it seems as though the name that we once expected to be applied to an extended range electric half-ton pickup will instead be a large sport utility vehicle. Based on the history of the Ramcharger name (in production form) and the fact that the covered vehicle in the image above appears to be shaped similarly to a Ram 1500, but with a longer roofline, it seems to be feasible that this new SUV will ride on the truck chassis. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer shares a chassis platform with the Ram 1500, and while we do not expect the Ramcharger to be a rebadged Grand Wagoneer, it is likely to be a large, truck-based SUV like the biggest Jeep.

If the Ramcharger is based on the Ram 1500, it could share many of the same high performance components as the SRT pickups. This means that it will likely be powered by the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi, and depending on whether it is an on- or off-road vehicle, it could share suspension and chassis components with either the TRX or the Rumble Bee.

Jeep Getting Two Big SRT SUVs and a Surprise

The next batch of new high performance SRT SUVs come from the Jeep brand. Not surprisingly, the Grand Cherokee will regain an SRT model and it will be joined by a range-topping SRT Grand Wagoneer. Since those two vehicles are fairly different, there is a chance that they could both feature Hellcat power, but SRT may try to differentiate between the two by going with a supercharged V8 in the Grand Wagoneer and a higher performance Hurricane 6 in the Grand Cherokee.

Regardless of the what is under the hood, the new SRT Grand Cherokee and SRT Grand Wagoneer will likely come with Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, big tires at all four corners and a cabin that is packed with premium features.

Perhaps the biggest and most curious surprise on the Stellantis Investor Day presentation slide is the Jeep Wrangler Scrambler. Based on the cloaked image shown above, it appears to be loosely shaped like the Gladiator that is next to it, but based on the use of the Wrangler name, it could be a two-door model without the rear roof. Back in 2016, Jeep introduced the Wrangler-based Trailcat at Moab as an extreme two-door off-road model with Hellcat Hemi power. The Wrangler Scrambler looks like it could be shaped like the Trailcat and if we are getting something similar to that Moab concept in production form, it is going to be an absolute monster.

Dodge SRT SUV Lineup is Expanding

Right now, the only SRT SUV is the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, which has managed to survive with Hellcat power while the Charger, Challenger and Ram 1500 Hellcat models disappeared. The current Durango SRT Hellcat offers 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, but with the Rumble Bee SRT offering 777/680, a boost in power for the Hellcat-powered Durango is possible, if not likely.

As for the GLH, that is a tough one. A few years back, Dodge had a pair of Hornet GLH concept vehicles, but the compact Hornet was discontinued after 2025. Based on the covered vehicle shown in the graphic, it is smaller than the Durango, so it is likely to be based on either one of the small Jeeps or one of the new Chrysler crossovers that are also expected to debut in the next few years. Provided that the SRT GLH is based on a smaller crossover, this could be the first performance application of the new turbocharged Hurricane 4-cylinder engine which recently came to the Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup. That new turbo 2.0-liter in the big Jeep offers 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, so with some tweaks from the SRT team, it could make the new Dodge GLH a spicy little compact SUV.
