    I live in hot humid Fl and am hot natured and a sweaty mess most of the time. The ventilated seats are very good, 5/5 as is the a/c. Loving this Limited Taco.

    The ac is excellent. The cooling seats I haven't used a lot. When I do they work good.

    The A/C is excellent. I drive in Eco mode and rarely need the fan above the minimum speed or the second notch.

    For the folks confused about the "A/C being on even when the light is not" --> In the settings (on the multimedia screen, not the dash) you'll find an option for A/C that's labeled "auto". Turn that off.

    I live in Southwest Florida and would rate the ventilated seats a solid 5. Very effective.

    The rest of the A/C system gets the same rating.
    I did tint every window save the sunroof, so that seems to have a pretty major effect on keeping the interior cool as well.

    You press on the blower dial to turn it on and off. Took a second to figure it out as well.

    I live in the deep south, and the AC is working like a champ.

    The a/c in my 24 Pro struggles in Phoenix, AZ, heat. Doesn’t seem to blow hard at all. What settings do you have yours set on for maximum cooling and power? I have mine on “Lo” and “Auto.” Do I have it set incorrectly for maximum cooling and power? What is yours set on when you get in a very hot truck?

    Thanks all!

    I'm underwhelmed by both the A/C and the ventilated seats.

    The ventilated seats work great, but anything above low and the fan is too loud. At first, it took me a while to figure out where that noise was coming from.

    The A/C is frustrating because I'm constantly having to fiddle with it. You'd think that you can just set the temperature and the system would do the rest. Nope. Setting the temperature seems to do nothing. And, I shouldn't have to turn the A/C on every damn time I start the truck. Also not happy with the position of the vents, again having to constantly adjust them. A/C vents to the rear seats are pitiful. I had to haul 4 people on a recent fishing trip in the heat and had to point the center front vents to the rear and full blast the fan to keep them comfortable.

    Thankfully, I put 98% UV blocking tinting all around, and that has been the best upgrade to the A/C.

    My AC seems super cold and perfect down here in Houston. But my truck is white so that may impact.

    Regarding the sound from the cooler seats, it’s about the same volume of noise I heard on Lexus I just drove and it’s about the same as a Mercedes E550 that I used to drive except it’s a lot more effective than the Mercedes was. (Edit - high speed is loud - try lowest setting)

    I wish I had the ventilated seats. I need them in Florida and I’m always hot. I rented an Expedition Platinum Edition when I recently went out to Colorado that had them and at first I was like “is there a window or door open somewhere?” bcuz I never had a vehicle with air conditioned seats. Loved it!
