one option on my truck I didn't really need was the heated seats. but the rest of the truck had most of what i wanted, where i wanted. So, it's mine and the banks now.

the seat seems warmer to me most of the time, even if the seat heater is off. and, yes, i can tell when they are on for sure.

just wonder if the extra hardware makes it breathe less and subsequently warmer , especially in hot climates like Texas.

Doesn't seem warmer to me. If it was hot I just turned the cooler on.

I have heated seats in Kansas where it gets real hot in the summer and haven't noticed a them feeling hot when off. Is this your first vehicle with heated seats? Might just be in your head.

Maybe it's just the seats. More padding, different material, etc...

Do you have the full leather seats or leather/cloth?

I have the full leather heated/cooled seats and mine don't seem warmer, I'm in Houston

Are they leather? With lots of little holes?

no, i have cloth seats. they are basically the same style and material as the 1500 I traded in, but my 1500 didn't have the heated seats. that's why I feel like I can tell there's a difference

I think only the perforated leather seats are cooled
