The Dodge Rumble Bee, produced in 2004 and 2005, was a special edition of the Dodge Ram 1500 as a throwback to the 1970s Dodge Super Bee. It’s a cool retro truck to get if you’re lucky enough to find one for sale. But that might be a tall order since only 8,700 Rumble Bees were made.

If you do find a Rumble Bee for sale in your price range, you should be braced for some commonly-reported problems, like awkward handling, an unreliable rear axle, and questionable brakes.

On the other hand, you’ll enjoy a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with 345 horsepower. You’ll also get 375 ft-lb of torque and up to 8,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Lastly, take a glance at your car insurance policy to make sure you have the proper amounts of coverage. Since the Rumble Bee is an older, limited edition car made for off-roading, chances are you’ll be paying a higher-than-average premium. That’s why it’s best to search for car insurance quotes online to find a rate that fits your budget.
