Jbrubakerjr Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Would be a great option on the Ranger, even if only in the Leather seats (Lariat Package)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtrucker22 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Would love to see ventilated seats! I live in the south, it would make a huge difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuixotic1 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 How the technology has existed in luxury vehicles and full-size trucks for this long without making its way into more "average" vehicles is beyond me! If I could only pick between heated and ventilated, I would 100% choose ventilated even though I am in the frigid midwest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other more experienced people can chime in. I think* manufacturers do this to make certain vehicles more affordable but also to entice people in to buying more expensive vehicles with certain features. *Like I said, just a guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time there usually is a downward matriculation of features to more base models, though. I'm just somewhat surprised that ventilated seats is a feature that has remained at the luxury and full-size truck level and hasn't really started to spread to even top-tier packages on "normal" vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, after owning F series since '74, I decided to downsize and was really disappointed with the Ranger. Ridgeline has offered ventilated seats for a number of years and the 2023 Canyon offers them as well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.noon Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I can suggest a to install or replace old seats with new ones. My uncle installed these recliners instead of passenger seats in his van. And left the driver's seat as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 They definitely need to add the ventilated seats to the new Ford Ranger. I agree with previous comments that it could come standard with the Lariat and Raptor models. Not having this feature is definitely a deal breaker for me.

tbone Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It is pretty ridiculous that the latest generation of Ranger doesn’t have ventilated seats in this day and age in the higher end trims. It’s one of a few misses on this new model as far as I’m concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maginty Posted Monday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:06 PM Yes, I'm still waiting for Ford to offer what the Global Ranger has had for 2 years, 4A transfer case, rear seat vents, and ventilated front seats. Colorado/Canyon offer rear seat vents on 8 trims, ventilated seats on 5 trims, 4A on 6 trims. Toyota offers ventilated seats on 5 trims. With the 2.7 N/A till summer, I'd guess it's a 2025 option, so hopefully Ford will include these 3 features from the start for 2025. They could also offer the auxiliary switches from the Ranger Raptor on XLT, Lariat. Again GM offers auxiliary switches on 6 trim levels. I have long sold my 2018 F150 Lariat and waiting for a midsize to offer features I enjoyed on my fullsize. I was forced to put a 1998 F150 on the road for those few times I actually need to do truck things. So I'll just wait enjoying the much higher interest rate return on my savings.
