Canadian owners with luxury package... Important cold weather questions!

[Darryl]

maybe worth asking to people in florida/texas if remote start will turn on AC when very hot outside.

Yes it will.

As it starts to get colder up here, I'm curious if the trucks equipped with the XLT or Lariat luxury packages will automatically turn on heated seats and steering wheel with the remote start? I used to have a 2015 Ram sport that did this, and it was a tiny but most appreciated detail in the morning. Much appreciated!

My 2024 Lariat does what I tell it to. I set Auto climate on, heated seats and steering wheel on. And I gots a nice toasty comfy cabin before I leave the cabin. :’P

As already mentioned somewhere on this thread, just set climate control to where you want it on start up.
When I pull into my driveway after work in the evening I set to full defrost and both seat warmers on. It starts in this mode. Easy peasey.
My wife calls the Maverick the cosey mobile.

I get heated steering wheel and heated air, but my heated seats do not come on with remote start. I make sure they are on with I turn off the truck. I wish they would!

I can turn the heated seats and steering wheel on and adjust the cabin temp on the Ford app when I remote start my 2025 Lariat from my cellphone.

So does my 2025 hybrid. I have the climate control set to 72 for remote starts. I really appreciated it on Friday morning when it was 23 degrees. I also appreciated it this past summer when it was 103 when I got off work. Finally, my 94 year old mother can go get into the truck and wait while I attend to business and be comfortable until I come out.

The louvers are cool. I found mine don’t close as much or all the way when it’s 32 degrees.
But close tighter for a fast warm up when it’s 28F or lower.

I’m not sure if heated seats activate without weight being sensed. I know they heat up fast once I’m seated. I drive my wife to her work every morning on my way to my job. She used to bemoan the fact that our Dodge seats only started to feel warm when we arrived at her work. She says the Ford seats feel warm seconds after she parks her fat ass in the seat.

Im so glad I don't have to worry about the unfit for human habitation cold that many of you all experience regularly. It got down to the low 20s last night. . And we're getting notices on our phone. Weathermen are giving cold weather instructions, etc. We have our turn in the summer when it's several days of 90-100+ degrees and high humidity

It’s just that most people just like to complain. Cold is no big deal.
A few mornings a week I work out in the cold.
Got me a nice pair of heated gloves.
Got the proper clothing, I’m good.

37 below for ten days and wind chills in the minus 90’s is cold.
Minot AFB ND, Christmas through New years,
1982-83. That record still stands.
Car batteries had to come inside, not enough plugs in the parking lot.
We all worked around the BUFF’s without problems because we had the right clothing.

BUFF, Big Ugly Fat Fockers, B-52’s

We had a Chipmunk walk right inside the dormitory. We fed him and he stayed inside the whole time.
Cool little guy.

They start at the last setting when you turned the vehicle off. So turn them on before you shut down.

You keep your below zero temps where you are. And we'll try to keep our 90-100+ with high humidity down here. Id rather the sauna than the deep freezer
