Don’t suck at all.

They were an option on my Ram when I bought it but I never paid any attention to them.
Left for work at 5:30 this morning with the temps right at 40F (shut up, thats counts as cold as shit here in FL) and decided to test them out.

They made made waiting for the heat to kick in almost nice. Almost.
I had to turn the steering wheel heater off before i got out to the main roads, that thing got toasty.

It sure is cold when it's 40. If I can't wear shorts and sandals, it's cold. Big Grin

I remember a few years ago when we dipped into the high 20s in Orlando. That was miserable.

I’ve found they’re also welcome occasionally during the winter in Gilbert Arizona.

Currently 15 degrees here in the Yoop. My seat and steering wheel warmers automatically turn on when I hit the remote start.

I use them oftentimes when it’s fairly warm out. I broke my back years ago and it can get pretty stiff so that heat always makes it feel a bit better.

I had to go to Pensacola today to take my watches in for appraisal. I had the heat on, the seat heaters on and used the steering wheel heat for a while. It was 50 outside. I like my seat heaters.

Anything below 70 is too cold for me. In the house last evening and most of the day, I had the heat on, it was in the low-mid 60s outside, didn't care what it was inside, it was too cold for me. Even my wife, originally from PA, was a bit chilled.

My Pilot has heated seats and heated steering wheel and I used them yesterday, last evening and this morning. Sweat shirt, jeans, felt great!

You folks from the north are just tougher than me, but at least I am warm.

I love my seat heaters though! They are nice on the lower back too.

Dad joke I saw online: “Do you know why they are called seat heaters? Because rear defroster was taken!”

We're driving from Tucson to Phoenix in about an hour. 43 here - you bet I'll have my heated seat and steering wheel heater on.

Every time I take my wife’s car, I wonder why I’m getting swamp ass! She’ll use the heated seats in July! You’d think I’d learn.

The other side of that coin is-
I don’t think you and I would handle July and August down there.
