Cloth Heated Seats - What Years and Models?

[AFMike]

Traded my base Bronco awhile back and now have a 2023 BB with mid-package MGV heated seats. I much prefer the cloth seats over the MGV seats. I'm considering seeing if someone would trade their heated cloth seats for my MGV seats. If I recall correctly heated cloth were available in 2022 and older BB and OBX. New Heritage has cloth but I doubt that's an option. Any other models I'm missing?

IIRC, the standard Wildtrak seats are (were?) heated cloth.

My 23 BB mid package has the cloth heated seats. So nice to not get burned in the summer or frozen in the winter. Nice and grippy too.

2 door or 4 door?

I didn't keep up with the "cloth seats available/cloth seats not available" ordering information but at least around here I didn't find a 23 BB that didn't have MGV. I know some love them but I prefer the cloth.

My 23 OBX has cloth heated, but it was an early build and I believe they forced the rest of 23 into leather.

I believe every Bronco with the mid-package has them, so the early Wildtraks would have them also.

Looked at that but from what I read and comparing the two, the cloth seats are different. The MGV have the gap/opening 3/4 of the way up the back rest that the cloth seats do not.

That's correct, and also be aware that many times the tie-in points are cut to save time in removing the cloth seats. Plus the cost of the install is significant.

I don’t believe you need to seek out heated cloth. The heating element is a separate pad that should work with any cloth seat.

Heated seats were not an option for me since I wanted a MT.
Sheepskin works just fine and is comfortable.

Never had sheepskin but they always looked like they would be very hot.

Many 2023 Outer Banks editions had heated cloth seats (if it is a cloth seat from an Outer Banks, it's 100% heated). I would also argue that the OBX seats are the nicest of the cloth seats.
