OK guys and gals. I purposely got rid of a few of my pictures on here incase the FORD people wanted to "borrow" my idea. I don't want them to use my solution if they are already working on one. Also if my solution is awesome it sure would be nice to negotiate with FORD to help them out....

Those things happen everyday. I know people they have happened to. Big business gets many of its ideas from non corporate individuals because it is easier. Corporations have lawyers which makes little people easier to screw over.
Now I don't know anything about this design or how Ford will handle this situation.
If you every have an idea that you even think could be a good one, get a patent and maybe visit a lawyer before asking the big companies to look at it. Patents are pretty cheap.

One thing is for certain, Ford screwed the pooch on this design. The TED in the seat back has the exhaust 3-4 inches from the intake and it puts out lots of HOT air. There's no way for the exhaust to escape the seat back so it gets sucked back into the TED. After 5 minutes of operation it simply can't overcome all of the trapped heat.

I think that! The 2014 seats must fit in our trucks.... As for sure all the 2015 truck prototypes must of been fitted with them and no one even tested the 2015 seats before they went into production. As no one that drove a truck with these crapy seats would like them. And I'm not just talking about the cooling as the head rest is a dumb design it doesn't go back far enough and the seat it's self is not comfortable.

heat will cause discoloration
That's no dust my friend...that's constant (over 120 degree) heat, for over 2 hours at a time, causing discoloration in the leather type material.
Others need to keep an eye out for discoloration as well. Ford will have to replace this seat cover.

Hopefully we can just get this addressed so everyone can have the features they paid for!

8/1/15 is my appointment, and I'm opening another new case for the seat discoloration due to the TED exhaust, hopefully things will get resolved sooner than later.

Where did you come up with the idea that the seat back backs are real leather? Or did you just forget to put "fake" in front of leather?
