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...
Same here, I usually start with three bars but have to turn it down once it gets going!

I have had heated seats in all of my vehicles since buying my 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited many years ago. I too will use them year round. They come in handy when my arthritis and fibromyalgia are flaring up.

I do wish that a heated steering wheel is an option on the Ranger. My 2016 Jeep Cherokee had a heated steering wheel. It was nice during the winter and helpful during the summer for my arthritic hands.

I can live without a heated steering wheel but prefer to have it. Heated seats are a must have.

Every vehicle I have owned since the 2002 Jeep Liberty has had heated seats. The Liberty and Ranger have the best out of all of them.

PS. I also think that heated side mirrors should be standard equipment on all vehicles and NOT part of a luxury or cold weather package.

Now that I've used the heated seats more than once, I really like the fact that not only is my butt or but the back is warm. My Altima did not have the back of the seat heated.

Heated seats I agree with. Heated steering wheel? Not so much. Simply remote start the vehicle and wait. By the time you get in the truck the cab will be comfortable
IDK man, I had the heated steering wheel on my fusion. It was a game changer!

Never had a heated steering wheel. Didn't have remote start until the Ranger. Unfortunately haven't had heated seats but drove a few that did. Remote start and heated seats are a win. Heated steering wheel? No thanks

I have a 21 Ranger Lariat. My Dad has a 19 Ranger Lariat. His has the control for the heated seats on the touch screen as well as the physical button. Anyone know if you can add that to the touch screen on the 21?

Possibly not. Why you ask? Best guess is due to the Programing of the APIM wich you dont want to mess with and the fact that your truck was possibpy built during the chip shortage, so who knows what all was changed.

Not sure if its cuz I drove a fusion for eight years that had it on the touch screen and that's what I was use to using, but the button for the heated seats seems hard to see with peripheral vision. I feel like I have to take my eyes off the road to look down to turn it on/off.

It's a Forscan setting. On my MY2019 I have them both on my home screen and the extra menu screen on the climate screen.

I'd much rather have cooled seats than a heated steering wheel, if we're going to bitch about stuff ford cheaped out on.
