Center Console Swap

I have found a nice 2015 RAM 3500 that checks all the boxes except for the center console. It is a Big Horn trim, but has one of those folding jump seats in the middle. Folded down, it has three cup holders in the middle. You fold it up, and a person can sit there. Yes - I'm being picky, but I really hate these. Is it possible to remove this and swap in the full console, getting everything to work? Saw some YouTube videos on older model Rams, but was wondering if anyone here has done this or heard of it being done.

Thanks.

    I prefer the manual transfer case shift over the solenoid operated knob. The floor console makes it difficult for a center passenger, but gives me more storage and cup holders - Your bladder will give out before you can drink everything stuffed between the two consoles. Mine is a Tradesman trim without many of the bells and whistles in the higher options.

    Yes - that is the console, but this one doesn't have the shifter that yours has - the floor in the center is empty.

    Mine has a disc player under the center seat and the storage console/back rest is wired with audio, USB and power connections. I'm not sure if the connecting harness is the same between this configuration and full center console you desire, but the center seat is not tied into the seats on either side.
