With the 5th gen having flat floors you should be able to build your own bin out of mdf custom to fit whatever you want to store under there and color match carpet it or find some low profile tool bins and strap them in so you can remove them if you need the floor space.

At least buck up for the high thread count. Lol

I'm just using a small tool bag for now. I like the open space.

I got an update from Tammie at DU-Ha. She indicated they had finalized the mold and matching colors for the 2019 quad cab bin I had inquired about. She indicated production should start in 2 months. I will wait to see how it turns out. In the mean time I will use tool bags I have.

The open space is way better for those with kid car seats!

There isn't under seat storage anymore? I had it in my 2011 Longhorn 1500 and I have it in my 2016 Laramie 2500.

Nope...I had what I call a well or lip under the seat on my 2012 - like most other 4th gens....On the 19's they made the entire back floor flat - all the way under the seats as well. I guess some people like the flat floor, especially when you lift the seats up...Maybe good for a dog, etc. Even with the in-floor bins, I miss the hidden aspect of the under-seat storage. It's my one (I guess minor) disappointment of the 2019's. To me it's wasted space.

3 weeks in I have a love/hate relationship with it so far. I like the completely flat rear floor; that was what got me out of my Titan.

HOWEVER, the little shelf that goes under the seat on each side is too narrow to hold much of anything and, I have found, anything up there has a tendency to come back down if you have to hit the brakes. Also, if you put something that just fits in there, you can't lower the seat. So there's that. One other complaint - minor, but anyway - is that they made the floor mats stop at the edge of where the seat is when it's down rather than all the way back. That's lame - even my 15 year old truck had floor mats in the rear that covered the entire floor (other than the tranny hump). I'll figure out some solution to covering everything - my dog has a tendency to have muddy paws so I'd like to have the entire rear floor covered.

I will probably make my own little divider for the area. Just something big enough to keep things from flinging around everywhere.

Looking for ways to utilize/organize the storage area under the rear seats. Right now I just toss things under there but they roll around LOL.
My 2006 Ram had storage built in I looked at it and copied into my new 2019 I just ran a 2X8 board across the floor and turned it in at the ends and made a small box that runs the length of the back seat I will try to take and post a pic for you I attached with 2 srews at each end to the plastic on the sides under the seat and painted it black to match the interior

I Just purchased a 2019 Laramie which window sticker says has rear under seat storage added at $125.. Is that suppose to be a plastic liner with compartments or just the fold up carpeted flap??? Seems a little pricey for just a fold up flap to me. Truck also was missing side rails, and adjustable bed brackets , mats, listed on sticker, but dealer making that good..so just checking Thanks for any input,

Ram accessories option under seat storage tray. $110.00. available for any crew cab trim level truck. Tradesmen up to Limited. Find it in the build & price website if you want to see what it looks like. Probably much easier to go to your dealer ‘s parts dept though. Amazing what can be added by the dealer. Integrated bed lights, integrated trailer brake controller, cargo tie down rails and bed divider, just to mention a few.
