My '13 Lariat's seats feel like the truck is blowing cold air through my pants and shirt.

Everything is good so far. I can't feel much air from the cooled seats, but I can feel the cooling effect after a couple of minutes. I don't have any other car to compare to, though.

Sync 3 is AWESOME. So quick and responsive. Phone is connected via bluetooth, though I opted to mostly play music via USB.

I took it for a nice ride last night around midnight to enjoy it. Boy is it fun to drive.... especially that sport mode; dang is that addicting. I don't want to open it up too much until it's had more time to break in though.

I'll keep watching this thread to following the 10/26 club. My originally ordered truck is yet to get an update, though I'm not going to be checking it anymore.

Anyways, here's a phone pic at dusk. Sorry for the bad lighting. I love the lighting under the mirrors though. Looks beautiful in the dark.

On the shifter you tap twice on the T / S buttons on the side. One is for Towing and the S is first Sport Mode.

Just imagine driving stick where you hold the gears a little longer and when you slow down it downshifts to match the revs. I am constantly in it on back roads.
Love it.

I would love to be able to find a similar truck on a lot somewhere and just buy it but finding something close to mine is impossible and I really like my local dealership who gave me a heck of a deal...so I'll just sit it out. In the meantime I'm buying lots of add ons and mods courtesy of the mod/changes thread. haha

I know that's "your truck", but have you tried to find a replacement from dealer stock? I gave up on my order (built 11/2) and finally found the exact truck I want (with a few extras that I'll suck it up and pay for). I couldn't justify the wait without knowing the problems they're facing as well as the fact that my truck is sitting in the elements in Michigan for 1 month and counting.
