Bighorn level 2 rear seat conversion to laramie 60/40

[Khrissicks]

I'm planning on swapping my 2019 5th gen crew cab bighorn cloth rear seats with the laramie 60/40 reclining seats. There's a few problems I'm running into. Does anyone have a laramie that can upload pictures of the connectors powering the cooling and heating of the rear seats?

1. The laramie has a center seat mount that allows the seat to recline positions. (Not sure if the bighorn has the screw mounts on the rear frame for the laramie center seat hook mounts or I'd have to weld that piece)
2. My rear media console has the usb plugs but not the cooling or heating switches for the laramie seat (Not sure if when opening the rear console I'll find the wires for the switches tucked in there or I'd have to order the wire harness that goes from the rear media console to the rear laramie seats)

Parts order as of now:
60/40 laramie recline seats left and right
two rear center seat hook mounts
4 rear media console switches (cooling and heating for both rear seats)
Wire harness for powering cooling and heating seats (if necessary)

Here's someone who installed the rear seat (SOWARDCUSTO):

Reclining rear seat mod for lower trim levels?

Hello all. I'm getting ready to order a truck, but I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to modify the rear seats in a Crew Cab Big Horn to recline. Reclining seats are really the only reason I'd go up to a Laramie, but if there's a way to modify or replace the rear seats in a Big Horn...

He doesn't say anything about wiring them up though.

Awesome Brian. I appreciate the support.

Just wondering if you were able to complete the swap yet and what the final cost was?

Any word or tutorial on this? It almost seems as if paying an extra 10k for this feature isnt worth it if you can do it yourself

Just to clarify, ventilated rear seats are not available in the Laramie. You have to step up to the Longhorn or Limited to be able to have that available as an option. So you might want to ask for Longhorn/Limited pics if you want to have both heated and ventilated rear seats in your Big Horn.
