Monoman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I hope that isn't the case when I get ours. I will say the vented seats on my current 4Runner are terrible too. They work fine if you are under 200Lbs. Anyone heavier just blocks the airflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddb Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm coming over from the F150 Platinum with a new F350 on order. Not sure if the SD's are the same, but they changed the F150's ventilated seats from "blowing" to "sucking" a couple of years back. If you put a piece of paper on the seat, you can confirm if they are sucking or blowing. But regardless, I feel like the "sucking" method really does suck!

akirby Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Ford’s new ventilated seats don’t work as well as the old ones across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Fine Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Exactly. Thankfully we love the truck so much and can definitely, live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense but we can't feel the air, even when no one is sitting in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 2021 F150 Lariat and it works fantastic. There are also less ventilation holes, in the F250 but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Wild Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Interesting. I Have them on our 2019 f150 lariat and got them on the 22 f350 lariat. Both work fine to me and unless it's 100deg I don't turn them on high. I can feel air flow and it can get a bit chilly and make things shrink in either rig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Definitely not as good as the old ones, but I wouldn’t call it junk either.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works reasonably well now but the 2018 F150s were horrible to the point someone was 3d printing an exhaust tube to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyAssault Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 My 2015 SD with seat covers can show you they are working. I was more concerned that the seats were not connected to the Climate Control ducting. For the current trucks: Might just be the way they rigged the motors or fans. Someone got a 3D printer?? Just turn the blades the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to search that up, Professor. Haha, that's cool, pun intended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
