Cooled seats question

The performance of the AC part of the climate controlled seats is highly dependent on ambient cab temp, since the fan sucks in air right by the underseat air duct.
Make sure u have your AC set to auto or atleast the lower foot vents and high fan setting, as the air cools in the truck you will notice the seat getting colder

Understand that. But what I'm saying even with the truck running all day I cannot feel any temp difference on the rear panel of the seat. I'm in my truck all day as it is my office. I kno this is stupid to complain about but I just wanted to see if other ppl were having the same issue on there 40k truck.

Mine cools the bottom and very lower back. I don't get it up mid-back and will take mine in if the rest of yours are blowing higer up than mine. I love this feature and use it every day.

Mine doesn't blow up the mid-back but you can feel it from the seat up the lower back a little. It also doesn't blow very hard especially when compared to the Lexus I test drove when the girlfriend was looking at cars. That is why I got the option. It is still nice but not great.

Mine works pretty well. It does cool equally on the seat and back. For me it really seems to depend on what I am wearing. Yesterday it was pretty hot and I had to be in Full Service Dress. It was HOT. The seat felt amazing on the drive home. But to be honest I had higher expectations prior to buying my truck. Only had it for a few months. 1300miles.

If you are sitting all the way back in the seat, than you are cutting off airflow. The fan pushes air to the seat bottom and seat back, through the perforations in the leather. If you lean forward a little you should be able to feel the air coming from the seat back. If you are a larger person and sit all the way back, covering the entire section of the seat back that is perforated, then you are simply going to block the air from coming out. It's a fluid it will follow the path of least resistance, which in this case is most likely the areas that are not being covered by your body, i.e. the areas between your legs on the seat bottom.
I would recommend adjusting your posture so your lower back isn't touching the seat back, that's a more correct sitting posture anyway.
