    Why is there so much cold air coming in through the center console. I have a key ring that I can disconnect from the fob so they are not swinging all over the place. I put them in the center console organizer and when I take them out they are ice cold. Also, because it's been so cold, it seems like it's coming in through the dash in a few places.

    I don't know really, I suspect there isn't carpeting and insulation under it, or you have something leaking. I haven't notice cold air blowing from that area.

    Was the truck cold when you entered? If so, it's just retaining that longer. Being closed it won't warm as fast as the cab.

    As far as the other air, do you have your climate set to recirculate? If not, you are drawing fresh air.

    Bet if you had a couple hour road trip, the kind you either turn the heat down or your jacket off, the console would be just fine.

    If you check in the back floorboard or under the back seat it is the same. Heat rises so it is going to be cold in confined spaces and down low. It is what it is.
