Default 5th gen seats in my 3rd gen

Installed some 2019 Ram Laramie seats in my 03 Laramie. Don't expect a tutorial, it's a sh*t show of a process and if you can't weld don't even try lol

But the end result is magic.


Long day, doing the wiring another day. They do work, though.

2012 seats were a bolt in (except the wiring of course) into a 2003 lol.

Oh I'm aware. But the upholstery on these 2019s is fire 🔥 🔥


Edit - and I was able to retain my factory jump seat. The G3 armrest is the best, large, flat.. great for working.

That's what it was designed for. Additionally, if you lay all the little dividers down on the inside, it was designed to be able to hold most laptops at the time.

Out of curiosity, how did that 2012 console fit up against the 2003 dash?

That looks very neat, so it just bolts in and the wiring can be made compatible? Including airbags? Rear bench is also compatible?

Do 5th gens still have the 3 cupholder jump set option, or just the 2 cupholder? Thats my main reason for wanting to upgrade the seats.

Requires the bravery and confidence to trim until everything fits well.

LMAO where did you see airbags? If you mean seat airbags, no. Steering wheel bag from a 4th gen also no. I used an 04-08 bag in an 03; same generation. Physically yes the SEATS bolt in (not the console) but require harness changes to work correctly.

Also someone else already used the airbags in the seats I bought, I sewed them back up lol
