Anyone know if the 5th gen center console will bolt up in place of the 4th gens? really like the extra room that the new center consoles have and would do the swap if anyone has some input on if it will work or not.

Probably not. I believe that the interiors are completely different

There’s a thread in member trucks area. He did it. I don’t think it’s bolt direct fit. Required a little work. The build I’m referencing basically put a 5th gen interior in his 4th gen.

Works...
Had to take out vent pipe underneath console
Had to trim bottom on both sides for hump on floor
Used a switched 12v and ground wire to splice in the usb ports.
Not bolted in yet.
But I'm happy so far
Need those side pieces like 3rd pic has in his.

Did you try wiring the usb ports up so they’d work with your head unit? I’m trying to on mine but they won’t support CarPlay. Don’t k ow if I’m doing something wrong or it’s a bad media port or what

If you look at a 2023 2500 series, they use the "Classic" cab configuration. I was sitting in our 2023 Big Horn 2500 at work when I noticed this, and was wondering about door panels and dash, although I doubt the electronics for the gauges are the same, but one would assume the center console in the 2023 2500 series would fit in the classic body. Also, the tailgate and tail lamps should work too on the Gen 4's off this model, just looks like front fenders, hood and grille/bumper are definitely different.

I know this is an old thread but I have a 2020 center console and I plan on putting it in my 2012 ram. Anyone get the usb ports to work?
