My Ford has a thicker steering wheel with better quality leather than GM!
Heating the steering wheel is one of those fluffy options that won't sway people to GM or Dodge. That would be just stupid...that's why we have round vents that can point right to the steering wheel and heat it up when you remote start. Then it takes 2 minutes for your body heat to warm it up... Mindblowing!! Yeah, it would be a nice option but I don't see it as an absolute necessity. I'd rather have my heated seats that practically light my *** on fire..

Agreed, I prefer heated seats to a heated wheel... But to each his own...

I went down to our local used car lot that specialises in high end newer vehicles. Had to check for myself, looked at 2011 Lariat and 2011 and 2012 King Ranch, no heated wheel.

I came here to learn. I have bought 3 new trucks in less than 5 years. If you take the time to read my earlier posts I assumed that the heated wheel was standard on the King Ranch and Platinum. I was wrong. I have a friend who sells Fords who is determined that I will drive a Ford next time. As I stated at the beginning, I couldn't find the answers on Ford.ca. I am simply on a fact finding mission. Since I joined I have spent at least 5- 6 hours a day reading these forums. Sorry for joining.

+1^^ I have to totally agree. The F150 might not have a heated steering wheel but it does beat out all the other trucks in every category. Just turn the vents towards the wheel, that works better than any steering wheel heater. My wife has a 2012 model Cadillac SRX with a heated steering wheel but I never use it. She loves it but thats coming from a woman.
