2017 cooled seats, specifically the backs
So test drove a lariat ultimate with front bench, only the bottom cooled but it was noticeable and nice
test drove another lariat ultimate today with console and the back also cooled as well as the bottom.
what was going on here? does it have anything to do with the bench seat or just my perception?

I've had the cooled seats on this truck and my previous '15 and the bottom is more noticeable than the back is on the bucket seats w/ console. I don't know if there's any difference between the bench seats and bucket seats. Here in FL, the cooled seats are a godsend in the summer!!!

I've had three Super Duty trucks (2015 Lariat, 2016 King Ranch, 2017 Lariat) plus two Lincolns with the heated / cooled seats.
In all cases, the backrest seat cooling was almost unnoticeable while the seat base would actually chill. I'm guessing it has to do with more weight on the seat base somehow affects it.
I'm currently driving a 2017 XLT Super Duty with cloth. The seats are heated only, and they get *much* warmer than the heated seats in the trucks with the heated / cooled option. Living in NH means the seat heaters are more important, so I'm happy.

There's some kind of sock that works itself loose on the 2017's. This causes the cooling effect to lessen.
There's a long thread on it here at the F150 forum, and there's someone who offers a kind of fix-it kit.
