Hey guys, living out hear in Sunny CA where we've already had 100+ degree days, my vinyl seats with the black package are getting a bit warm...

I was debating getting a set of the old taxi style beaded covers to get an air gap between the seat and my butt, but im concerned that when I take them off in the fall, the seats would be dimples from the beads pressing in. Can anyone confirm or deny that this would be an issue, or have another suggestion for easy on/off covers, since i only want them in the summer?

I used the beaded seat cover on my old Hardbody Nissan truck. It didn't bother the vinyl when I took it off.
For $40 or is this option on Amazon.

The only reason I didn't buy a Lariat was because of the plastic seat covering.
What is ActiveX?
ActiveX is a fully synthetic material. It uses recycled plastic bottles.
Resulting in swamp ass and back.

Oh boy I want to pay a premium for that.

Ceramic window film is your friend and then get a windshield cover and reflectix for your side windows.

Use FordPass app to start your hybrid a minutes before you get to it and everything will be nice and chilly.

Interesting, but I wonder if there is a warning label for usage while passengers are aboard during periods of robust flatulence, due to the quick release vapor effect...

I am so glad I test drove one of these on a hot day. The vinyl was so hot and so sticky.

and the interior is close to 170 degrees. The last thing you want to sit on is recycled plastic milk jug

Do you mean my pleather seats aren't real pleather? 😱
Haha

I wonder☝ what species of jug they use.

I'm all for true recycling.
It's pretty amazing that they can make a material out of something like plastic jugs.
Living in the desert Southwest Active-x or even real non-ventilated leather is not for me.
My F-350 has leather seats.
They have the little ventilation holes and they are cooled.

I've yet to get wet in my non-upgraded XL seats, and I live where it gets relatively hot, except compared to @Glen Baker LLC 's oven roast temperatures...

The option I wanted is buying a Lariat with cloth seats.

No, I'm not going to pay extra for Lariat and then pay extra again to have the seat material changed.

Not having cooled seats in the Lariat was a big miss on Ford's part.

So was not having the 10 way seating available on the Escape. Why cant I have a seat tilt in a truck?

I'd happily pay a premium if a brand would let me choose whatever seat. Like, sure, here's another $3000 for a Recaro ergonomic seat. No problem.

It's not that it's not leather, it's the fact that is the cheapest feeling vinyl interior material I have felt outside of a Bayliner.
Interesting. I think it feels just fine and have no qualms with the quality at all.
