Funny stuff.

I didn’t like the big console either. I found a Laramie with the fold down console and love it. I like the extra knee room when driving.

Otherwise, I see ram has a reputation for best interiors. Lotsa options.

I find the 5 person seating just all I need. I love the console in my truck for all the room it has to store things. I keep a few handy tools in there. I find the back seats are comfortable as well. I just, wish the 6.4 bed was easier to get, but my 5.7 is fine 95% time. The driver seat gets a bit firm during long drives, but it is easily solved by a brief stop to get out and walk around.

If anyone can recommend a truck which can haul my center console, I'd appreciate it.

My 2020 Laramie has the center console with the folding jump seat; I like it a lot. Hardly ever use the jump seat, but it’s nice to have. Lots of storage space and options, more than I thought I’d need. Things can alway be improved but this one is near perfect for me.

I'm disappointed in myself, that I read a four-page thread and read posts from intelligent people fighting over a center console, a damn center console. What is wrong, too much time on your hands.

...I'd like to see it. What team of idiots engineered this? Is there an aftermarket setup available? My search came up dry.

I dislike the center counsels also I looked forever to find my "19" with the Larime trim and a bench seat. It also has the off road group and the air suspension. On longer trips my knee rubs against the side of the center console and it is actually quite uncomfortable.

You've been here for 10 years. This can't be the first thread you've thought that about :p

You still have bucket seats. The front driver and passenger seats are the exact same bucket seats whether you have the center jump seat, or the full center console.
Ok, are they exactly the same as the bucket seat option? Maybe its a matter of semantics, but the Moroney refers to it as Leather-trimmed 40 / 20/ 40 Bench Seat.

Then chances are, said person would be better served driving a minivan
It’s just my wife & I. My mini van days are long since gone. I bought what I wanted and I wanted bucket seats and console in my grocery getting garage princess. I worked my ass off for years, saved my money, put my kids through college without student loans, paid my house off, and pay cash for my trucks. I’ll friggen have buckets and a console if I friggen want them. I’ve earned them.

Same here. Haven't had debt for close to 12 years. I built my house myself...had a 15 year loan...paid it off in 7 I believe, a couple years later had our last vehicle paid off, and since then no debt. With the health issues I have, I am so happy that when I'm gone soon my wife and kids have everything paid off, she will get a good amount of money from my retirement fund, and a good amount more from the life insurance policy. Makes me feel good that they won't have to worry about money anyway when I'm gone!!!

Being originally from NYS and being italian, i always like the center console because i can do that "lean" when i'm driving. ha ha

Actually, they do sell center consoles for trucks (and cars). A simple google search produces quite a few at various prices.

We could have a totally depressing discussion on the state of the country and world in general…… but that’s probably a banned topic….
