No Ventilated Seats on MY25 GT? WTF (What The Ford) 😡

[Jimrpa]

So, I thought I had figured out my vehicle replacement strategy. I really want a GT (the rally looks stupid with the boy racer wing and so on), and Ford finally decided to add ventilated seats. Or so I assumed since they’re now available on the premium. Well, NO, Ford in their infinite wisdom couldn’t seem to put them on the GT?

I want to be a product manager at ford so I can spend my days finding petty ways to piss off customers. Smaller frunk, no ventilated seats… argh!

Didn’t think any GT has ever had perforated seats.

The ICE Mustang GT entered the conversation ?

still, it’s pretty sad. I thought I had one from the late 201Xs as a rental car in CA that had ventilated seats but I could be mistaken.

Old news @Jimrpa . There’s an entire thread of complaints about the 2025s including this. Because people can’t ever be satisfied.

Sorry, I missed it.

No … you didn’t. Or not much anyway.

So, they do have smaller frunks, I think. It might be because of the way the radiator is angled and possibly also because of the heat pump. Maybe they’re Tesla Model Y size? I haven’t seen one. Ask @ChasingCoral, I think he might have.

The good news is that the premium is the only trim line with heated and ventilated seats in 2025. The bad news is, there are no other trim lines with heated and ventilated seats, infinite blue still doesn’t exist, and rapid red sleeps with the fishes.

Yes, I mentioned that last month. Need to have perforated seat material for ventilated sets to work. Maybe in a future GT, they will change the material but if they stick with cloth, then it's not going to work.

And I for one love the cloth! (Also little need for cooling)

^^^^ Agree

Yeah it really comes down to if you have actual issues with the material you are complaining isn't ventilated. I have ventilated seats on our F-150, but it's "leather" and it can be uncomfortable without it. But I had a 2017 F-150 that was an XLT, so cloth seats, and it was never an issue.

The MME Premium we have is leather and could use ventilation, but if you had a cloth/leather sport seat it may be fine without it, and the cloth inclusion could be more comfortable and not worth losing just for ventilation, which would likely need a leather-like material.

I’m in upcountry Hawaii. Cloth would be fine too. Down in Kona parked cars get quite toasty inside, leather and leather like can fry.

I like the looks of the gt seats on my 23.5, BUT they're awful in terms of breathing, much preferred the premium seats I had on my 21.

Where are you finding 2025 GT info...? I thought that 2025 GT specs havent been released yet?

I HOPE they'd up the notch on the performance aspect of things on the GT instead of adding unnecessary luxury items. No need for cooled seats on a GT. Go buy a Lexus gramps.

Wish list:

- Better steering wheel adjustments (range of motion... tilt/telescope)
- better suspension options
- Wider wheels and tires
- lower vehicle stance
- better battery and motor cooling
- funEV sounds / customizable ev sounds ... Mach-E 1400 anyone?
- lower steering ratio
- better steering wheel / road feedback
