What's with the lack of power in this thing?

DerickE · Jan 20, 2023

I've been doing some digging and found I can't easily/cheaply buy the RAM aux switch panel, and then on top of that, there are like NO power connections inside the cab. What is up with that?! One low mounted 120V, and one high mounted 12V and thats it?! At least the F250s have twin cigar plugs and a 120V. I feel like adding accessories to this truck is a given, but god forbid they need power. I want to mount twin cigar plugs down low towards the front passenger side of the center console. They would be flush mounted, so it needs about 6" behind it for the plug to sit, is there room in that area within the console to drill?

i see that you have a 2019
is it a 1500 or Heavy Duty
Is it a Classic or new body style

Does it have the full floor console or a center seat in front?

If you have cigarette lighters, they can be changed to USB charging units

It's a 2019 2500, with what I believe is the 'new' body style. I've got a center console. I have a laptop mount and a DC power adapter for my laptop and literally nowhere to plug it in. I've got a small aux powerbox (similar to others that are posted here) that I'll have installed soon, and two of those circuits will go to cigar plugs in the side of the console, if there is room to install them.

Looks like you should have either looked the Ram over before you bought it, or bought a 250.

Are you saying that there are no USB plugs just to the right of the drivers knee and no power outlets on the back of the center console, and no power outlets inside the console, because my 2021 Laramie 2500 has lots of power outlets.
