GEN 2 Raptor ventilated seats vs non-Raptor

[lawdog]

Sometimes dealers install these for their "Special" customers. You can get them from Ford as part of their "Penetration Package". They ARE NOT recommended for use off-road.

Not sure I want to know if you had that picture handy or not. I did leave the back door open for the joke, though.

I have ALL KINDS of images saved for when something funny goes through my tiny brain. I have 2 under "*********"!

It seems like this has been discussed quite a bit already...

So, if I’m reading correctly, there was a point in the new Raptor’s life that they were cooled and now they are vented?

2019s are definitely vented. It works great, so I don't know what all the fuss is about.

You are correct.

Not only that, they started doing it sometime during the 2018 build year, too. I checked mine today after all this confusion, and my '18, built in September of 2017, has ventilated seats (sucking air), not cooled (blowing air). The build sheet for 2018 listed "heated and cooled seats" for 802a, not ventilated. I'm not complaining, but trying to highlight the reasons for much of this confusion.

So at the end of the day, and the dust has settled, do we know which one keeps you cooler? As mentioned in my first post, I borrowed a 2019, which must have had ventilated seats. I thought they cooled better than my 2017, which has cooled seats. So, maybe I answered my own question, but any other opinions from those who have had or tried both?
