So, I have a 2015 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn. It is a 5 seater and I need it to be a 6 seater. I am thinking to take out the center console and putting a jump seat in. Has anyone done this? Is it too difficult?? How does the finish-out look? WHat happens with the A/C ducts and other electronic stuff in the center console? Is the arm rest cover the same size as the jump seat cover, as this would be ideal for esthetic purposes? Any helpful knowledge would be appreciated!

There are a few swap threads and its usually very straight forward. I have a jump seat and want a console. Usually the best way is to find someone and swap. I am willing to swap are you?

Use the search feature, lots of threads on how to do this.
Pretty straight forward.
There are some parts, for sale, right now. That you would need.
As mentioned, could always trade with another, who wants the same thing but reverse.

Should note, the jump seat is tight, only for little people.

I've seen lots of posts for the jump seat to center console, but not in the reverse. Seems it should be straightforward, but just wondering if I am the only one trying to do so. Also, is the 1500 seat the same size as a 2500 seat?

Seats should be the same size.

And yea, I really wish I had a console in my truck. Not much use of that jump seat for me

What color is your interior? Where do you live?

To all who've replied: Thank you for the interest in trading, but I have to keep the console. I was hoping to find someone who has done this and trying to see if there was a parts list and a "go-by" guide to make this an easier mod. There are plenty of people who have done the jumpseat to console, but not the other way around. Also, the dealerships around here are less than helpful. The best answer I got from them was, "well, look around and see if there is someone who has what you're looking for, get the VIN number and we can go from there."
