2nd Row Heated Seats?

[OKC_Explorer]

Not here yet!

So did you get the vehicle yet? Does have heated 2nd row buckets?

Hey Peter... our EX is still not delivered. Its in limbo (sitting here in the rail yard in OKC) on a quality hold by Ford due to factory issues in Chicago during our build week (blend date 8-10-13).

Factory hold back thread.


In the mean time, I'm adding a new 2013 F-150 Platinum 3.5L Ecoboost pickup to the garage. This sitting around is getting expensive

fyi, just went to another showroom. They had the exact same model as mine, 2014 limited, 301A, with bucket seats and they DO have the heated 2nd seats.

Thanks for checking that out and reporting back to the members. Much appreciated.

... and soon! our EX should arrive this week.

Our dealer thought ours would have heated second row bucket seats. I seem to remember sitting in the back of one they had and seeing the heat control on the back of the center console.

As for the Sport and rear seat heat - I'd eat my hat if that wasn't also now standard on all Sports. But that's just a guess.

Most of the time the dealers seem to know less about their products than well informed customers (ie us). On multiple occasions I've been told things that I know for a fact to be 100% incorrect. One dealer tried to convince me that the Sport was the top-of-the-line Explorer and came with everything that the Limited (that I was trading out of) had! Um, no.

According to the Ford spec sheet for the 2014 model year only the Limited with a second row bench is listed as being heated:

Seats
— Leather-Trimmed Seats
— Heated 1st Row Seats
— 10-way Power Drivers Seat, Power Recline and Lumbar,
Memory
— 4-way driver and front-passenger head restraints (2-way
when DVD headrest are ordered 50S)
— 2nd Row 60/40 Heated Split Bench with armrest and dual
cupholders

There's no mention of seat heating under the option for 2nd row buckets either.

I can confirm my 2014 Sport with buckets does not have heated seats and I didn't come across any with a heated bench when I was searching.

That being said if someone figures out how they can be installed with OEM parts (ie from a 2014 Limited) I would be very interested.
