Finally figured out why my seat was uncomfortable

[echundotcom]

Turns out the '23 Lariat model, which doesn't have heated seats, actually has the elements for the heated seats for just the driver...they just cut the wiring...and with the way they cut it on my vehicle, it was jutting out just enough on my rear end that it was noticeable and uncomfortable.

I found this all out as I was installing my own heated pads from AliExpress.

Finally my seats are comfortable...and will be heated as soon as I finish off the wiring.

How does a Lariat not have heated seats? Is it a Canadian thing? I would have thought they would be standard further north???

Just Ford's way of saying, "Up Yours!!"

Damn man, I got the XLT and opted in for heated seats/steering wheel BECAUSE I live in Canada. I don't know what else the Lux package has and didn't carehaha

I'm glad you found the source to your problem. I will refrain from commenting about "being so sensitive one can feel a marble under a mattress" reference.....................(It just came to mind, not trying to a turd), but I know others probably were thinking the same!!

Seriously though, let us know how the heated seat transistion works out. Mine came with them. Only used it once as the truck cabin heats up really fast. But depending on where you live, it is really convenient. Take care!!

Are you going to use the wires that are already there, that Ford cut off and were making you uncomfortable?

Something is not right there. I have a Canadian 23 Lariat and it has the block heater, heated seats on both sides, heated steering wheel, heated mirrors and heated wipers. Is yours a resale that someone butchered?

23 Lariat w/out the Lux package probably

Shocking!!

Looking at the pic before reading, I thought it was pliers jammed under the seat cover

Didn't come with the luxury package...I slipped in to one that was a special order but cancelled, so I didn't wait for my vehicle... It has everything else I really needed or wanted.... And figured I could install the heated seats myself.

I'm in Canada, so heated seats were missed this past winter

In Texas the mpg loving drivers use steering and seat heaters to heat down to about 33°F +/- where cabin heat is turned on!

Looks like maybe someone at the factory pilfered the heating element for his Chevy.

Lariat without the Lux package? The Lariat IS the Luxury package. It comes standard. You can't get a non lux Lariat.

Maybe it's a 2024 thing where all the options are standard?

No luxury package included in this build
