Gun Safe Quad Cab

[Surplusleo]

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with a bench seat in the front. I am looking at finding a gun safe that will work for my vehicle. I cant use the back seat as my kids car seats are there and it prevents me from manipulating the seat so looking for something in the front of the vehicle. I have spent days looking for something that will work as everything appears to be designed around that center console which I do not have, as mine flips up for an extra front seat.

Upon receiving suggestions I’m updating and advising that front jump seat is bolted in and there are no storage pockets in rear.

This should work, if you don’t have the factory installed CD player:

I think there is a metal, lockable cover available for the compartments in the floor in back. Try some searching here, or someone might remember how to find the thread.

Here's another option. Lockable metal lid for the in floor compartments:

Don’t have the in floor slots, and jump seat doesn’t move it’s bolted in.

Oh that's weird. I thought all crew cabs had the in floor compartments in the back. Another option that I've done before is take a little safe and push it under your driver's seat from the side. I have one of these and it fits:

Is that the space between the front and back seats? Looks like you have a quad cab and not a crew.

Your right miss typed

I would look for one of the "pistol vaults" drawer-type safe's that mount under the driver's side of the seat. That's what I had in my '98 RAM 2500... Worked great.

Now if you have air conditioning ducts running under your seat like my '12 RAM 2500 has, you're kinda screwed on the under seat safe... Unless you are going to do like I am and remove the ducts...

Got any in mind as I was thinking the same thing might be my only option

Can you make up some spacers or maybe a shelf to raise the drawer up a little to clear the ducts?

I was thinking about the Tuffy Security safe with the key lock swapped out for a number-tumbler type lock. I keep my pistol wedged between the seat and center console while I'm driving, I only need to lock it up when I'm leaving the vehicle and for whatever reason can't conceal carry it.

I'm currently using the floor pocket with a metal door w/ lock. Disadvantage to it is that I'm quite visible as I take the gun out and lock it in the back. With the under-seat safe, I can just drop it between my legs and shut the drawer.

Unfortunately, ATC, there is not enough room to space the safe up above the AC duct. With the duct there, I can't even get a small fire extinguisher under the seat. I so rarely carry peeps in the back seat that losing one rear AC duct will mean little to nothing. Just the pain in the ass of taking out the seat, floor console, flooring, etc...

PaulTGarrett got a link to the safe not trying to be ignorant but want to find right one and just buy once

Here is what I am looking at right now. I don't particularly endorse Tuffy and will not say whether or not I may go with something else when the wrench turning starts but this is at the top of my list right now. They also have a safe that will fit under the passenger seat of classic Bronco's. I'm thinking a safe for the RAM and for my Bronco... One stop shopping...

The Tuffy does open quite a bit further...

Why not just install a center console locking safe and not tear your truck up?
They're easy to install and aren't very expensive.

Some genius put a cd player in the console of my 17 so that option won't work.
