2024 RAM 4500 - No Center Console

[PepeLeDouche]

For our work truck here at the shop, we got a great deal on a new 4500 truck and are currently putting it into service. The dealership told us this is a 'Hot Shot Special' with no back seat and no center console. The back seat isn't any big deal because we never would use it, but the lack of console is a concern. Has anyone built a custom console? If so, please share pics! Or any aftermarket options? Or do I just need to pull the trigger on a Ebay unit?

We had a ford f250 at work that had no center console. I think it was probably originally built for police application (so they could put a radio console in or something) because it was only an f250 srw.
Anyways, we fabricated a steel arm rest / console. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
You could look at aftermarket center consoles for police (they are generally modular to have spots for radios, etc); or just find a used center seat/armrest on eBay.
