Rear vents for A/C Air Conditioning in 4 Door Bronco Are Located Under Front Seats

Old fart comment alert. When I was a kid, we didn't have air conditioning at all and we survived. My wife's 2017 Rav4 doesn't have rear air vents and nobody has died, yet. Point the front vents towards the rear and crank up the fan.
It’s 2020, on a 2021 vehicle - their direct competition (the Jeep JL) has rear a/c vents on even the “lowly” the Sport 2-door. Out here in the desert, 118 with a cloudless sky will test even the best air conditioning units. It’s a dumb, lazy mistake (if the floor vents are the only/final option) on Ford’s part. It’s that simple.

And cars used to not have power steering, power brakes, power windows and seatbelts.
The point is times change and certain things even creature comfort type stuff just kind of becomes standard or the norm especially in a vehicle of this price range.
To your Rav4 example, looks like they got rear vents in 2019.

Seems to me that the problem isn't floor vents in the Bronco... the problem is where you are choosing to live.

I need to unfollow this thread lol. The complaints may be valid. But no one will know for sure until they sit in one on a hot & humid day and crank the AC to see if it’s sufficient. Until then the outrage is just speculation
118 isn’t speculation - it’s f’ng hot. More vents are never overkill (especially in something with a plastic roof).
That said, you are correct. But the same can be said about every thread on this entire forum. ??‍

I've edited my comments with the picture as I learned of the air vents location under the seats.

Old fart dad joke alert. When I was a kid, we didn't have air conditioning at all when we walked to school uphill both ways, but we didn't survive. The guy with the air conditioned cadillac ran us all over. This is a post from the ghost of an un-air conditioned kid.

At least the heat in Yuma is a dry heat. It's 96 here on the east coast and it's unbelievably humid.Seems to me that the problem isn't floor vents in the Bronco... the problem is where you are choosing to live.

The whole "dry heat" thing is such a crock. You know what else is a dry heat? An oven.
In Phoenix, businesses put water misters out on the side walk to hose down customers so they don't die before they can buy something.
Hard pass.
???
”Un-air conditioned“ meaning no rear vents? Or no air conditioning in the vehicle at all?
This right here is great for ground clearance. But may be the reason why there's no rear AC in the center console lol
