How warm are your factory heated seats?

We took delivery of a 2019 AC OR a few weeks ago - love the truck. Up here in New England, heated seats are a nice feature so we ordered ours that way from the factory.

Our issue is even with the seat heat on full for the entire drive we don't really feel anything (both driver's and passenger's sides).

Either these things are very lackluster or they are defective (I'm strongly leaning towards option 2). I believe with a warm cab and a winter coat on, these should be uncomfortable on high.

We are scheduling a service visit, but I was just curious how well you feel the factory heated seats warm your buns?

 

I can't leave mine on high, but I don't have any way to quantify it.

 

Mine are like sitting on lava. Shit gets hot.

 

Mine have three settings: fire, lava, and the surface of the sun

 

I'm in FL, but on the rare occasion that I've used them my experience is that Level 3 (high) is pretty hot, Level 2 (Mid) I can hardly feel, and Level 1 (Low) is basically off.

 

If I leave it on too long I get a serious case of ass sweat

 

I use mine all the time in the winter and currently can't put them past Level 2 as I find it way too hot. Normally leave it on Level 1 for winter cruising.

 

Thanks guys...you have confirmed my thinking. Something ain't right here. Off to the Service Department we go!!

 

I can't have it on high for more than a few minutes, I think it's a wasted setting. Medium is really warm, and low seems ok after everything is warmed up but is pretty close to off.

 

Level 3 singes ass hairs and creates quite the swamp. You should get yours checked.

 

mine get hot real fast. have to turn it down a couple notch...

 

Could be as simple as a loose connector under the passenger seat. My became loose after installing my Clazzio's. You may want to check the connector, unplug and replug firmly back in before you schedule a dealer visit.

 

I would say mine could probably heat up a bit faster, that would be my only complaint. But on high, I can't leave it there for long. Takes about 10 minutes for mine to get comfortable, depending on how cold of course.

 

As others said. Low is HOT. Medium is BURNING. High is SWAMPY.

I really wish i could turn it down. I cant get it low enough.

 

this right here, on cold days (below freezing) I turn them on high and within a block I have it down to low and as soon as my heat starts blowing warm air I shut it off.

 

The only time I've used level 3 is in extreme cold and only for a short time. Usually, on my way to work, I start off with 2 and end up on 1.

 

I usually start mine on the middle setting which is pretty warm once it gets going, but I'm almost to work by the time it gets there. But, my commute is only 2.8 miles. Once it gets going, I have to turn it down to low. I have the leather seats, and I'm not sure if that would make it more or less effective.

 

I have manually heated seats, the setting level depends on what I ate for dinner last night.

Most mornings it's set at "Norwegian sauna", but occasionally I crank it up to "spicy lava"...

 

This. Level 3 is great when it's 20 degrees in the morning but when they heat up, it's sweat inducing. definitely an issue.

 

That is environmentally irresponsible.
