I have an SLT crew cab and I am looking for ways to make the rear seating area more hospitable / luxurious. I know that rear vents are a no go. Anyone modded the backseat area in their trucks?

 

Some things I was thinking about but don't know if they are possible:

 

Small yellow LEDs in the handle bezels (like the front seat handles)?

Rear seat warmers / heaters?

Lights in rear of console?

USB charging in rear of console?

Chrome trim around door speakers?

 

All ideas appreciated!

I have been thinking about these heated seat kits. My son really misses heated seats from my old Yukon Denali.

I have also daydreamed about allowing the rear seat bottom to slide forward an inch or two and the lower edge of the top would come with it. This would make it more comfortable for my kids to sleep. I miss that from my old Denali also.

Do you mind telling me what part number Rostra kit that was? I see several options. Also, how warm do they get? The factory fronts are mediocre, how do these compare?

 

Thanks

I could use some AC vents in the back. Has anyone modded the rear console for this?

I'm considering picking up the flow from the under seat vents and modding in some small air vents into the console.

They have Hi/Lo and Off.

Hi mode is hot just like the factory

Lo mode is also the same as factory

But they are not Auto adjust. you just have to hit the switch to adjust them.

got them off one of the website online since the Ebay one sent me the wrong one 5 times.

You need the one that have 2 blank empty lines in the matt so you can cut them to fit the factory seat pattern. you can see it in my post.

I would love to see this if you ended up doing it?

Haven't gotten around to it but now that it is starting to warm up again it may become a priority.

Newbie here considering the purchase of either a new Chevy/GMC, Ford, or RAM...

Love the exterior of the GM twins the most, but man, why is the rear seat such an afterthought? Both Ram and Ford offer heated seats, full-size headrests and rear vents on their trucks, but the GMs are pretty horrible for any adult. The other trucks are very comfortable in the back, but I noticed that the rear seatbacks in the GM trucks are short (top of the headrest sits at my neck). I have friends who ride with me often and the idea of one of them hitting their head on the back window in an accident is worrisome. Wondering if maybe the Surburban/Yukon second row seats fit back there since they are smaller than the front seats?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
