I totally agree! At least Dodge let's you spec a manual trans! Seems there would be a decent market (and profit) in allowing "special" orders to really be special. I would have liked the center console rather than the center seat (the part between the seats, not the Hummer-esque coffee table between the seats and the dash), but nope, can't order it that way.
I may see if it could be swapped in from a "bucket seat" Laramie and order one from Dodge. The seats are otherwise the same other than the ventilated option.
