Lariat owner here, enjoying the AC when I’m not driving with the windows down during the summer. But peeling my back off the seats after a long ride—Bleah! What are some of the things you are doing to keep cool?

Unrelated but whatever happened to crotch vents? I feel like those would come in real handy this time of year.

This could be an option.
I found on Amazon. $40

Sitting on fabric seats is one thing I do. ;)
Yep.
The only reason I did not get a Lariat.

I have a seat cover that just covers the part where you contact the seat. It's thick and let's air flow through it. Or, I put a towel over the seat. Works well.

Amazon has a ton of seat coolers. I have a pair. They use USB power and work pretty well.

Since I don't have the "upgraded" seats, I don't need to do anything to keep my back cool, as the fabric seats are comfortable to me, and I live where triple digit heat is common.

Reminds me of the European elite who had the luxury of running water.
Problem was, that water ran through lead pipes.
Come on, Glen. Seriously? I don't see how wanting to keep your back dry is an "elitist" thing.

It isn't.
It's buying a Lariat with a toity toity interior in the first place. Now, some are trying to fight swamp back🤣🤣
I wanted the options the Lariat has and I would have bought a Lariat had there been a choice of fabric seat covering or ventilated type of material. ActiveX / pleather was a hard NO.
