-40 Degrees Today

Post by FordyceCreekTrail » Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:07 pm

That is what the Power Wagon said when I got in. Heated seats and steering wheel came on with it being 52 out side and looked down to see -40 on the gauge cluster. I was at 8500', maybe the altitude caused that somehow? Went back to normal later....

I swear, no mud puddles or anything.....Boy you feel it when the heat comes on and you don't need it. Yeh, I know real Power Wagons don't have heated steering wheels... :notworthy:

Are you kidding me? I haven’t owned a car or truck without heated seats since 93. Even my challenger which never sees the cold has a heated steering wheel. No one says you can’t be comfortable and go off-roading :)

My heated steering wheel AND my heated and Cooled seats are now part of my required equipment for any future vehicle. :thppt:

And isn't it awesome that using auto-start selects the appropriate heating or cooling seat setting based on temperature...

That makes me wonder... did it turn your heated seats on when it thought it was -40?

Edit... i see you already stated they did hahahahah.
