In this video, around 3:25 timestamp, it shows the ability to set up a platform for using the rear seat space. Does anybody know what Trim is required to get this OEM, or are there any good aftermarket replacements?. I'm planning on getting a BigHorn, but the ability to have something like this, cleanly executed is key for us. Thanks a lot!

I've got that in my 2019 Laramie. I'm unsure of what package it comes with, but my 2014 Laramie also has it. They are def useful, some guys have built a DIY version. I will say they are surprisingly stable for what they are, but I don't know that I'd load them way down.

If I'm not mistaken, (and I might be as I have a MegaCab), that platform is standard on the crew cabs. It is nice. However, I am also happy with the MegaCab approach. The whole read seat moves forward and drops to the floor. The backs then fold down level to the MegaCab rear platform creating an enormous flat space from the back of the front seats to the rear cap wall. It's not as low as the crew cab platform but the resulting space is much larger.

As mentioned above, for 2024 it’s only available on certain packages Rebel-Limited. It’s not available on Tradesman or Big Horn.

That might be the case for earlier model years also. I saw it on a 2022 Laramie and knew it came with the Limited so it may not have been available on the 2022 Bighorns or lower.
 
If it doesn't have a 60/40 rear bench seat, it doesn't have the brackets to support the fold flat floor. Looks like the current base model below Laramie doesn't.

Might try to check a current buyer's guide.

On earlier models it was available on the Big Horn. My 2022 guide shows that it was still available on the Big Horn. Dads 2017 and 2006 were both Big Horns and both had the fold-flat storage.

More lost functionality for an increased price.
 
Can't find a 2024 detailed options list but for 2023, the fold-flat came with Option group H1 AND H2 (both required.)

Looks like it was dropped from the Big Horn for 2024. I linked a 2024 fleet spec guide above, which is accurate for non-fleet rigs as well.
 
Having issues with the build & price site (no surprise) but it shows rear 60/40 split with any seat upgrade from base model 40/20/40 front bench.

Still digging to see fold flat options if they exist. Nothing in the Mopar accessories catalog... (also no surprise).

I see it listed as Optional/Package under 2024 BH/LS...

— Premium cloth 40/20/40 split-bench front with power-adjust for driver, 60/40 split-folding rear bench with center fold-down armrest and fold-flat load floor (included with H1 and H2 Groups) (*M9) O/P

It doesn't list fold-flat under any packages like it did in prior years, maybe they just forgot in the brochure? Shown as standard option for Laramie, Longhorn, Limited.

Looks like they did drop it.

I found a 2024 BH with Level 2 and neither the Monroney or build sheet listed the fold-flat floor.

See it listed on any Limited (build sheet only.) Only saw one of the few Laramie I found with Level B listed on the build sheet only. Maybe some other option (premium buckets?) triggered it?

I'd guess any rear 60/40 split bench has the bracketry and one just needs to locate a take off or wreck.
 
Here is the VIN of a pretty loaded 2024 Bighorn. Is it possible to get the build sheet for it and see if it is included?
