Is there wiring available on the XLT models to tap into under the seats? Adding Katzkins and would like to do heated seats at same time and need to know ahead of time what installer will be faced with. Is there a wire under the seat, or do we have to run all the way back to fuse block?

If not, they'll get 'er done. I took a previous F-150 XLT for Katzkin, and heated seats. I don't know if the wiring was there or not, but they had no problems at all. I'm sure it's not your installers first rodeo.

well for your answer on if the XLT has the wiring for the heated electric seats, no they are missing the key wires for them but they do have the same clips to connect the sets to the truck. Since they seats i got still have both of those clips im going to swap the new seats wiring clips onto my rangers and just manually route the key wires to their OEM spots once I fix the airbag issues they have

Hell I still haven't got around to hooking the heated seats but they should be able to get power from the harness connection on the sides of the foot wells. You will need an upgraded bezel with the heated seat buttons or try getting the infotainment to have it
