For me it's in the perfect place. I'll be placing my trailer backup camera monitor on the dash on a Bayou Goat Mount in that pocket, having the 12V outlet right there makes it so much easier and cleaner. On my '17 1500 I had to run the cable down to the console and it was always in the way. But I can see your point, there should still be one in the console. I don't get the 110v plug deep in the console well, doesn't make sense to me.
