Default RumbleBee? Where's the Rumble?

Before people start soundin off on me, let me say I love the way those RumbleBee's look. But, what was Dodge thinkin? I've passed by so many of these and none of them have a rumble. Shouldn't Dodge have put an exhaust on these monsters that would do their name justice?

The Rumble bee is a nice visual package, but i have to agree with you. Really they should have given it a few extra ponies as well to seperate it from a regular Ram.

You got that right! Does the RumbleBee actually cost more than a regular model, just because of the body kit?

Well of course if you ask the saleman they will tell you that there special edition or limited production, whatever!!! limited means something like 500 being made not 5,000 all it is is a RC wih sport apperence package and a rumble bee DECAL nothing "special" compared to other rams

There have been some angry people concerning how many "special edition" Rams have been made. Both the Rumblebee and the GTX have had a large # of vehicles produced. I feel sorry for the folks that bought into it.

the trucks come with a body kit, as well as a 3.92 gear out back and of course the lil bee and that nice little sticker on the inside saying it's Number so and so

i like the truck and i would love to own one oh well.

Default RE: RumbleBee? Where's the Rumble?

I have just bought the 05 rumble bee, and while it does look cool, it does not justify the extra $3000-5000.
When I was looking to trade in my 02 I was just looking for the hemi motor with the 3.92 gears. I got the rumble bee because somebody had already bought it, decided they didn't want it, and then traded it back in before the truck ever left the lot. I bought it because I got a good deal on it. The only real differance with the rumble bee are the ground effects, the huge decal on the bed (which had been removed before I bought the vehicle), and some slight differences with the dash kit. I too, am in agreement that there should have been some more modifications made at the factory. However, I do love this truck!!!

Now the new Daytona is sweet...I work at a dealer and drove one on Saturday...and the exhaust does have a nice little rumble to it, and I like the dual tips coming out the side.
