Center console conversion?

Quick question and I know this may sound ridiculous but hear me out. I'm stuck between 2 trucks. One has 4x4 and a 3rd seat and the other is 4x2 with the center console. At this dealer to get 4x4 AND the center console you have to look in the 50k bracket of their inventory.

Before anyone says shop other dealers, this will be my 3rd vehicle from this place and they've always given me great deals so I've stayed with them.

My question: Is it possible/uncostly to remove the 3rd seat and install the center console?
I ordered a complete center console off ebay for $500 and swapped it in myself. I have a 2019 2500 Tradesman Diesel

I found mine on eBay for $500, then I sold my jumpseat for around $350.

I guess the hardest part would be trying to narrow down what to search for on eBay. Or there is nothing out there right now.

Me and member rlc2020 are in the process of doing the swap now. He’s got my console and I’m getting his seat. Apparently he’s gotten the console in but it took some wiring work. I’ll let him chime in on his efforts. We are swapping front carpets as well as the other obvious hardware because the carpeting is different in each setup. Hoping to be able to do my center seat install by early next week.
First thanks for all the information you provided on this. Do you know if a 2019 ram DSNDT or interchangeable? I have a DS and I found seats in a consul out of a DT the new body style and I don’t want to buy it until I know that it work

Did you ever buy the Laramie with the center console? I am just finalizing the purchase of a Laramie with the bench seat in black, and had planned on doing the conversion.
Did you find someone to swap? DT or DS?

Hey there! I just purchased 2020 Limited with center console and looking to swap my console to bench seat. It’s a brand new condition with 12 miles on it all black. I’m looking for a good condition bench seat if you have just purchased your truck it’s even better but used is fine too as long as it’s pet and smoke free truck. I’m located in Portland, OR area but we can ship to each other, just let me know who is interested of swapping with me, thx

The ds and dt are different cabs and consoles. So they are not interchangeable.

Why do they still have six seat versions?


Does anyone really use that middle seat as a seat?

I just did the seat to console conversion and I had one wire I had to add a small piece to In order to reroute the plug to the front. I used the Original usb plug that powers up the left side dash ports and everything works perfectly.
