My wife's subaru is the first vehicle either of us have had with heated seats. She won't get another vehicle without them, so they were a priority for the Ranger. I think the Ranger ones are much better than the subie ones.

I've found little need for a heated steering wheel with the remote start, but there are a few times when I've been out in cold conditions and haven't had the opportunity to remote start long enough before getting in to warm things up, so I think I'd appreciate a heated steering wheel on occasion, though not as much as the seats.

I'll use the heated seats to warm tired muscles after a tough workout, too. Yesterday I made use of them because I was out in the rain all day and was wet. It wasn't really cold out, but being wet made me cold. I'll be out in similar conditions today, so I suspect the seat heaters will get duty on my way home again.

I've been using a loaded F150 at work that has the ventilated seats, and THAT is a feature I'd love to have in my Ranger for summertime.

This is the time of year that I'm reminded that I would like to have side mirror defrost, too. So I'm thinking about upgrading my XLT side mirrors to Lariat ones again.

My last truck had seperate butt and back control for the heated seats along with ventilated seats. That was nice. In the summer I could turn on the back heat for my back and run the ventilated seats at the same time to handle sweaty balls. Perfect setup for warmer weather. When it's 20 below and you have to clear snow off the vehicle heated steering wheels are appreciated.

absolutely. My truck has the hottest seats I have ever had.
I have had and currently have multiple vehicles with heated seats.

None come close to the Ranger seats set on high.

The Ranger seats on the high setting fall somewhere between flame thrower and Nuclear meltdown.

They feel so very nice on a cool morning...

These seats have good heaters for sure. I mean, I wouldn't cook on them, but hey do the job they were designed to do very well.

....or wear gloves
Gloves don't work so well with touch screens.....

One of my biggest disapointments with my Ranger is no heated steering wheel, coupled with the poor heat/ac flow to the driver foot well. In the winter I'm either gonna have cold hands, or cold feet, or an undefrosted windshield. Guess I'll need gloves and winter boots to drive my truck as it can't keep me warm.

Then what...a radio that you don't have to turn the knob to tune and more than one speaker, some type of system that blows cold air !!!!
Yea, how about making it easier to steer and brake with some type of power stuff !!!
If you all want to dream, than dream good stuff that is useful , not wussie stuff to keep your tush and pinkies warm !!! :crackup:

I don't know about you, but i'm not needing to touch anything on my screen in the cold.
The last settings are good enough for the time being.
If I do, there's voice activation, knobs, and buttons that I can press in the meantime.

I would love a heated steering wheel as well. If that was an absolute requirement, then I would be driving something else. I never would have bought it.
