Default Butt/Back Sweat

No one likes butt/back sweat.

My XLT currently has Tan Cloth Seats in it. Is there any way to add cooled seats to it? I know a guy can put in heated seats no problem. but is there any type of aftermarket kit that a guy can purchase and put in? I CANT HANDLE THE BUTT SWEAT ANYMORE!

is your ac working or are you really fat? no offense. i weigh 265lbs and my ac keeps me plenty cool so that im not sweating in the truck

dont they make those suits for desert racing with water pumping through thin plastic tubes? you could possibly use something like that but that raises other issues such as needing a pump and how to keep the water cold. probably why you dont see any cooling seats. heating seats need nothing more then electricity

Yikes, Butt sweat; this is however a topic that's not been discussed here before.

Some of the luxury vehicles have air conditioned seats; the seats actually blow air through tiny holes in the seat covers. It would take some fancy duct work to plum this all in though. I googled to see if there were any seats that had fans installed in the lower seat bottom, but did not find anything.

Try some baby powder to the backside before you drive.

lucky, im about 275, however, my truck sits outside all day in the direct sun, and when i get in on a hot summer day its nice to help cool things off. its not that i sweat all day but when you first get in the car after my half mile walk to the car on a 110* day i sweat. Even the 110lb girl i share the walk w/ sweats a bit on hot days. i just think that it would be nice to have. my parents have it in their '10 Lariat Crew and i love just sitting there, even when its cooler to have some air movement on long drives.

any chance that you could swap seats from a '10 lariat and make it work?

get a remote start and keep your a/c turned on and just fire it up about 5 minutes before you leave work, by the time you get in it should be nice and cool.
