Anyone else disappointed no B-pillar vents? I have never found the lower/leg level vents to be helpful, especially summer in south Florida.

It would certainly be nice, but I personally don't care too much. I'm always the driver and never a rear seat passenger :p.

None of the vehicles I've owned except for one recently even have rear climate control, so anything at this point for me would be a luxury. That one (BMW X5M) which does have pillar vents aren't even that strong. I don't think anyone back there would miss them if they were gone.

Again, this is my own personal opinion/experience.

That is true that they aren't too strong anyway. In the 750 I had, the rear seats were so far from the pillar you couldn't feel any air :CWL: The head vents in my Range Rovers though... ?

Yes. They're great for doggos where the hammock blocks the lower vents.

Pillar vents are nice. But Sadly I can’t confirm whether they are needed until I get my truck….

I will say that the ventilated seats seemed to be pretty effective during my test drive and I hope I still feel that way when I get my truck.

That's too bad. Floor vents are not helpful if kids are in car seats until they are bigger. Especially if you want to put stuff on the floor since the young kids don't use that space for their legs.

As a South Florida resident, B-pillar vents (or lack of them) never phased me.
