How are you keeping (your back) cool in the summer?

...driving with the windows down during the summer...

Living in the Sunshine State means I don't EVER drive with the windows down! Climate control is my bestie!

Remote start and parking in the shade.

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?

Also AZ, Lariat, have done many 3 hr drives, not been an issue for me, but I always use a USB fan; maybe that's why.

If you were optioned correctly from the birth factory, this would provide ample air pockets for ventilation...

Sheep skin seat cover

They ARE nice! Back when most cars used vinyl for seating, sheepskin covers were a luxurious necessity. Always my first upgrade. In fact, I used to sell them. Seems they are not as popular in this day and age.

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.

My F350 is a Platinum
About as bougie as you can get in the Ford line.

I didn't know buying an upgraded version of the cheapest pickup truck on the market made me an elitist. By the way, I didn't have a choice. At the time finding the Holy Grail was easier than finding a Maverick. I was fortunate to get any version of the Maverick and grabbed the first one that was available. I'm totally satisfied with the Lariat's features and those that need improvement, such as the seats, can be dealt with.

I live where it's HOT and have never noticed this to be a problem. Turn the AC down more.

I have finally invented a solution to address this terrible problem facing many Maverick owners.

Darthie, I hardly recognized you.

That's a #fact
You're crossing to Tijuana to get it cheaper and no medical prescription needed

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

Are you talking about Wing Windows, I miss them.

I remember crotch coolers in the mid 70s on my GM's.
Probably eliminated due to cost cutting.

I'm pretty sure this is what Connor @Random881 is referring to

I'm 71 those vent windows are nothing new to me. My first car had them.
Number one way thieves gained access to a car was through the wing window
