Why is ford raptor 2019 seats ventilated?

[EMPAC623]

I don't necessarily disagree. But when you break it down it makes a little more sense. (I'm going off memory here, so some of these numbers may not be exact) The $2,000 base increase covers the shocks. The '18 orange interior + CF was $1,800, the blue interior package includes the CF and adds "better" seats, so the extra $600 for seats isn't too unreasonable. The BL wheels are $700 more, but if they reduce weight (this remains to be seen) on the wheels, then the increase could be considered justifiable.

The issues I have with the new pricing are the increases for features that haven't changed. An extra $200 for the moonroof and $100 for the spray-in bed liner? Both exactly the same as '18? **** with that.

The loss of the ambient lighting and "cooled" seats is definitely annoying. Though I'd be interested to see if the ambient lighting could simply be software, and a quick Forscan could address it.

Ventilated is a fancy term for cooled. Both blue and black seats are heated and cooled on 802A. Confirmed by ford months ago

Ventilated was confirmed, yes. I believe this discussion is more specifically regarding the differences between cooled and ventilated.

If the '19s match the '18s in that, I'm good.

Pretty sure it’s just how the seats are cooled. 17&18 say cooled on order guides

Cooled and ventilated are not the same.
See ford forums.
To be honest there is no reason to upgrade from 2018 to 2019 other than the shocks.
Ford deserves a smack on the head for fkn shit up since 2017
Took off multi ambient light from 2017
Increased prices for same parts and tech from 2018

I believe the live shocks is a gimmick. Time will tell

The ford forums can’t even tell a difference. No one knows. Still seems the same as others have said

I’m not sure if window stickers are different between dealers, but mine doesn’t show heated/ventilated seats anywhere and it’s an 802a.
