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

[kodiakisland]

I sat in the back of my 2010 mustang once the day I bought it just to see how it was. Never again.

I feel the same way. Kids can have their own AC vents when they buy their own car. Friends can walk if they are too hot. Dogs can have fun with the top off.

My dog rides up front. Pisses my wife off. I just tell her that's between her and the dog. The dog usually wins.

I care more about the total cooling power of the Bronco’s AC system than I do the location of its vents.

Amen

It seems silly but may be a deal breaker for me. It so blistering hot in Texas, family doesnt even like to ride in the Raptor in the summer because rear ac is terrible. Having no rear vents in a 4 door suv is just poor planning.

Same I’m in Texas too and it gets hot! I use my remote start feature on my edge all the time and would definitely want it on the bronco. I don’t understand how people ride around in Texas with their doors and roofs off on their Jeeps. U have a couple vertibke mustang and in the summer at a stoplight it was unbearable!

Hey hey hey! Let’s not knock the AC seats. We want the AC seats. We need the AC seats. They are our friend.

AC seats are amazing. If I had to choose between AC seats and heated seats, I would go with AC. And I live in Canada....

Since we are talking about kids. Anyone think it possible to mod one more seat into the back of the four-door? Difficult to have a crew of 5 plus me.

I used to work out of an old Kodiak flatbed. It had a screwy vent system so only one worked, however it blew like the casket of ancient winters. Would make the windows fog up on a hot day.

Yeah 20 years ago pickup trucks didn't have rear vents, but also they weren't neither north of $50k or being used as a family vehicle. Trucks getting comfier and having all the luxury is what killed products such as the Chevy Avalanche since the niche was filled by the same trucks people were already using. There's $30k cars with rear vents so for as much as Ford is charging they better have air conditioning in the back even if it's controlled from the main HVAC controls in the front.

Rear vents should be in the B pillar if Ford keep saying you could hose down the interior and drain it through the floor. I live in a part of the world where it's summer all year long and last xmas day was a "fresh" 93F, so go figure. Air conditioning in the back it is a deal breaker and also kind of ridiculous since the tech already exist and isn't that difficult to route it under the center console or having them in the B pillars which would be optimal as it would also blow some fresh air to my dogs in the cargo area.

I don't care where your from, summer sun, 95deg heat and on top of that hot exhaust heat rolling up at a stop light is stooooopid hot..... I'm with ya Newkid

Are we really bitching about no rear ac vents in a Ford Bronco? Wow!

Seems like a big oversight for a vehicle that's probably harder to heat and cool than most. You may be fine in the drivers seat, but what about the kids whining in the back?

Unpopular opinion:
For those changing their mind on purchasing the Bronco due to lack of actual vents in the back, THANK YOU. This might mean my Bronco might get made sooner ?

 

[Bronc-O]

You mean like these?

Perfect for the black leather seats when it's 110 degrees outside.

But how do we know the air coming out of those vents will be cold enough?
I’m going to start manufacturing some undercarriage scoops to force air up through the floor drains just in case.

I had a 14 F-150 Tremor that was a regular cab, but they had the Flow-Through console like the 4 door trucks. It had vents in the rear even though there was only about a foot of storage space there. The A/C throughout was fantastic.

This weekends plan :

53-56 Cadillac used this.

I hear ya. My top won’t be on very much. So I was just thinking of it from that point of view. I have had a few Broncos and was topless 90% of the time. Never thought about it being a family car.
