Why can’t I buy a modern truck with a heated bench seat?

because the industry moved to quadcab

Six people, all of them warm! Why am I denied this?

Somehow bench seats seem to have been relegated to lower trim levels. But I guess they’re less useful when so  many trucks seat 5 without one.

because these are for 1 driver, and 5 seats filled with junk.

I could keep a lot of lunch warm, like a really fucked up buffet table.

Would you consider a 40/20/40 split bench to be a bench?

Ford Lariat trimmed trucks have it (optional on F150, standard on SuperDuty)

You've merely proven I'm shit at research.

T ime to share something personal.... I really don’t like heated seats. I know a bunch of folks love  them, including my better half, b ut I am just not a fan...

I like them initially, but having it go full heat for a long period of time sucks. Same with heated steering wheels.

When it’s -10F outside and you have vinyl seats, the heaters are welcomed

The problem is that they’re almost always vinyl or leather. Heated CLOTH seats, on the other hand.......THAT’S luxury.

Screw that; why can't I get a bench seat in a sedan anymore?

An AC inverter and an electric blanket can fix that...

Heated seats but not a bench seat. Ram calls it a split bench but it’s a 2 seater with a huge console.

First experience with heated seats and wheel and it's glorious on a cold morning.

I swear to god the first manufacturer who has the balls to sell a new crew cab truck, with two plaid bench seats, gets my money. I would enjoy if they were heated as well.

Isn’t that closer to an “and” than an “or”? I always assumed they were less safe in an accident.
