Just curious. My order no. is only 3300. My question is this. I like my rear to be cool when I drive. I ordered the 2LT, and I thought what ever seats came with that was it. Looking at Ken's post on prices, I see there is an option for Sueded Microfiber seat inserts, 395. So here is my questions. Are some seats cooler than others, and if so, is it too late to call my dealer and make a change?

I have the 2LT with the Sueded Microfiber seat inserts and all I can say is not having the sticky leather up against the backs of your legs makes a very positive difference. I will add however, that after the initial burst of cool air up your backside, the effects of the vented seats tends to wear off quickly. Pretty soon you even notice that the seat fan is on...

So, you are saying the microfiber seats are cooler? Correct? Is it too late to change my order.

Yes, at the end of the day the microfiber seats are cooler in my opinion. The only thing I am adding is don't expect the 2LT seat fans to bring a whole lot of additional cooling to the party...
