You would have to go custom on it... It cant have a huge mounting depth and it needs to be able to fit in a reasonable size box. you can do it two easy ways if you have some skill with fiberglass.
1. You can snatch out the middle console and have the sub facing the rear wall(might have a couple inches of clearence between it and the wall) you can make the frame out of mdf, get a 15" mdf ring. Stretch your mold fabric, sweater flipped inside out or whatever your gonna use over the frame till tight and start your fiberglassing.
2. You can use the same materials but have the sub facing the front of the cab... this would be alot harder to do and you will lose most room behind your seats on both sides to get the required airspace needed for the sub to perfom at its peak.
If your serious about this I could give you tips during the fabrication process. It would be alot easier to go with mulitiple smaller subs.

I know that I had to build my sub boxes for just my 10"s. I have good leg room but they are not ported boxes either. I think in order to get the correct air space in your box, you could keep the sub on one side of your cab behind your seat, and extend the bow on to the other side of your center console behind your seats. I don't know how well this would sound without the sub centered, but if you had it ported on the oposite side of the sub it would probably sound the same. I'm not sure I would do that though, because I don't know all that much about building boxes, and I'm not sure that the depth of your speaker will still fit behind your seat. I think that the best way to go would be through fabricating a fiberglass enclosure. May take more time and work but as long as you don't need your center seat and console it would work the best. Although I am not sure how 15 inches will fit in between you two seats. But I don't know didly about fiberglass boxes.
