RAM 1500 Six Seat Conversion Brisbane: Unlock Your Middle Seat

If you own a RAM 1500 Bighorn or DS Express, there’s a good chance you’ve been driving around with a secret. Your truck was built as a six seater, but RAM Australia locked the middle front seat in the down position as a centre console. No seatbelt. No way to flip it up.

We can change that with our RAM 1500 six seat conversion in Brisbane gives that middle seat a seatbelt and unlocks it so it folds up and down like it was always meant to.

Seat can be folded down into a centre console after the six seater conversion.

What Is The Factory Six Seat Layout?

The Bighorn has a split front bench seat. The middle section folds down and doubles as a console. On paper, that’s a three-across front row. In reality, the middle section is locked down and has no seatbelt, so it can never carry a passenger.

The hardware is mostly there. It just needs a belt, a buckle, and the latch freed up. That’s what our conversion does.

How We Convert a RAM 1500 to Six Seats

We fit an aftermarket kit that adds a seatbelt and buckle for the middle position, then unlock the seat latch so the cushion can fold up and down. There are a few little tricks involved to make everything work properly, it's not as easy as it sounds.

This conversion is fully engineered. A qualified engineer comes out to inspect the truck, certifies the work, and issues a modification plate (the official plate that records changes made to your vehicle). That means your sixth seat is properly signed off. Because of the engineering requirements, this conversion can only be done in Queensland.

Still A Console When You Want It

The best part is you don’t give anything up. Fold the seat down and it goes straight back to being a centre console for your drink, your phone, and the pile of receipts you keep meaning to deal with. It’s a seat when you need it and a console when you don’t.

The only thing you need to know before you book is whether your truck has the folding middle section. If it does, there’s a good chance we can sort you out.

A bunch of different importers brought these trucks into Australia, so we can’t point at a year or a trim and say yes or no. Every truck is a little different, so we quote each job individually.
