Cold Feet / Floor Heat?

[Beach_Bum]

moderate heat up front, but absolutely zero in the back 2 seats. I turned up the fan speed to 7 and still nothing. Looking under the seats I dont see any tubing where the heat would even come from

That is because there is none on the 2-dr.

I noticed the cold feet and legs as well, first full day owning it I drove to work that morning, 15 degrees and my feet froze. I guess I will try and bend my large frame under the dash and see what's going on.

Really?? I checked the owners manual and all it says is "Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats". With other items missed during QC, I thought my tubing was left out for the heat in the back

I also get cold feet and the rear under seat vents don’t work at all. I’ve tried every setting nothing makes air blow out of them I don’t think they are hooked to anything, just there for show.

Yes, the 2-dr has no rear vents. It is not an omission. Hopefully for the MY'24 refresh, rear console vents are added.

The under seat vents have been identified with some owners not to be connected to the ducts. They are there so check and either connect them yourself or take it to the dealer.

Have you guys tried socks? I find they work great at keeping my feet warm.

Nah I free ball when I drive, I love the way the leather seats feel on my checks.

I joined the forum solely to complain about this. My ultra loud hard top sucks but for 55k I would like to be warm. Also, when you have to have your heat set to just your feet it blows out of my A-pillar vents as well.
Also, I have been in the auto industry for 15 years, drove many hard and soft top wranglers and convertibles so I am not being ultra picky. never had a heating issue like this. Expecting my Bronco to be at least as good as a wrangler is reasonable IMHO. /End rant.

Funny, I just noticed this this morning! I normally wear boots, but today I wore tennis shoes. Was messing with the settings trying to warm my toes but nothing worked. Weird!

Fellow Canuck.

I know what you mean.

My vents do work, and it doesn't get cooking like most vehicles do. Gets plenty hot, but the floor vents do not seem to blow as well as most would like.

I can put it on full blast and feel heat, but turn it down and it does cool off pretty quickly

I have given up on trying to get a decent air flow with the under the seat vents. I'm now looking into installing one of these heated seat kits for the back seat.
-Install Bay: IBHS1
-Rostra: 250-1870

Exactly. All the air blows out the A-pillar vents instead of the floor, and that's not normal.

Additionally, rear seat heating is non-existent. There are "ducts" under the front seats, but even if you pull the plastic inserts out and stick your fingers right in the metal tube, there's zero air coming out, much less anything warm.

I mean, it's almost comical...

Same issue here in New Hampshire (4-dr). And I agree that it appears to be an issue with how the air is directed to the floor, not the temp of the air. When the fan is at full blast directed to the floor, very little air comes out of that vent (despite a lot of noise). Based on the number of folks with the same issue, I suspect it is a bad design in the ducting to the floor. Haven't sat in the back to know if it's an issue, but kids haven't complained!

Same issue here. We have finally been getting snow/cold here. My feet are freezing, even after warming the Bronco first. It feels like a cold draft coming in.
