The fact GM had air vents in their center consoles in the 2000s but not in these trucks drives me nuts!

But if your truck has 18" rims and tires on it , the SPARE is a 17" wheel and tire. Figure that one out ??? Ya , I know it's just "supposed" to be used as a spare but you'd think it would match what's on the truck. Unless I find an actual matching factory 18" aluminum rim and tire , I'll have to settle for the one it came with.

@@2009mechanic on ltz models it's a matching aluminum spare

I have a 2015 LTZ. My under seat vents were almost completely distorted shut. I made a "U" shaped metal piece to place inside the vent tube to hold it open. Also they were almost all the way under the carpet as well. I also took a 4" flat piece of metal and slid it under the vent. Leaving about an inch out to hold the carpet down. The rear passengers aren't complaining now.

Finally got my first pickup truck less than two weeks ago! A 2017 LTZ Z71 Silverado. It has everything, even a sunroof! But a couple of passengers were complaining the other day that they were a little warm in the rear cab, being in Florida and all. I wasn't able to find any hint of rear ventilation in the owners manual, so I was about to call the dealership when I came across this video. Yep, I found the little vents under my front seats, just like you said. Great info!

Those are there for the heater. If you ever notice when you use the auto feature in a car the heat comes out of the floor vents, and the ac comes out of the upper vents. Those are not rear ac vents. But you can use them the way you described if you want to.

It would be nice to have some "top: vents too.

I had a 2004 Chevy Silverado SS that I bought brand new. It was my dream truck and I regret getting rid of it. The reason I bring that up is because that had the rear vents. I was so disappointed when I realized that my 2014 Silverado didn’t have them. That being said, I never noticed the vents under the seat so thank you very much for this video. My five-year-old will be grateful as it gets pretty hot here in Florida.

Do you know what the upgrade is for the center console that has the air vents for 2014 GMC sierra ?

Omgosh...thank you for taking the time to post this. NEEDED info!!

Hey i bought some leather seats from another gm truck for my Silverado and my driver side seat don’t work because of the seat reminder I don’t have the oem seat reminder but I wanna know if you know anything about it

Thanks for the vid. First thing I noticed AFTER I bought my ltz! Gm lacking in this dept.

Great video man! Keep the 14 Silverado videos coming!

They have been doing this for years. . My 07 Yukon has it under the seat too

When you put the hvac on floor you loose your recirculation. In the summer for max ac you run with recirculation on, gets alot cooler that way.

Dustin, thanks so much for all the info! Keep the videos coming.

Yup on my 2014 LT Z71nice and cold upfront and my passengers in the back (my kids lol) always complain saying turn up the air cuase it's hot in the back but after a few minutes it cools down but never knew about the air vents on the floor thanks for the heads up

Haha, thanks. I was traveling, and I was wondering why I was cold in the back this winter when the heat was on for feet. Now I know where the vents are. I can actually put a proper vent setup so it does get blocked by the carpet. Thanks

What are those vents in the back of the seats

Same on my 2004 Silverado extended cab.

Thanks for the info. I have a 17 Silverado didn't know about this my grandkids will appreciate it thanks again pop pop.

Thanks for the info! Have had my truck new since 2016 and my son always complains that it’s hot in the back seat 🤣🤣

Anyone have a part number for this?

Yeah i was gonna say, most cars and vehicles will have vents under the rear seats, its much nicer if they put the vents on the rear console as they should in a 4 door truck.

Also looking for more information on the auto temp mode

I recently discovered my 03 2500HD extended cab has this vents under the seats. Happen to found them by stupid chance when I was looking for something on the floor. Never knew there was vents under there for 16 years of owning that truck.

Thanks for sharing the tip!

great for them muggy summer days when your feet are hot

Hi got a 2015 high country they didn't change much looks the same as my interior . What's your fuel economy like I m in Canada so we I first got the truck it was 17 or 18 and the spec sheet said 14 liters per 100 kilometers Changed to a k&n air filter new plugs and wires battery sensor cleaned the intake with some seafoam in the fuel and now I'm ranging anywhere from 13.8 to 15.2 👍

The reason those rear under the seat Vince only work when you have the settings on feet is because they are for your feet if you’re sitting in the back

Learn something new everytime I watch your videos man keep up the good work nice truck by the way to expensive for me

I knew they was there but wish they kept the same as older trucks and vents on console. My 03 sierra slt crew dmax was great. 2015 sierra crew denali not as much. Yes air but at feet not up by body and non adjustable. Just think with all the advancement we have done to vehicle's that could totally be one. Especially in a crew cab. I've got rear blu ray entertainment center that nobody uses. Rather have good ac in back for them to use.

I agree with the option disappointment on the rear heating and air conditioning that sucks, and driving Chevys for 40 years what did the GMC dealer and bought a GMC and obviously they don't have them either so thanks for the video, yes Chevys way behind but that's all I've been driving

Excellent! Thanks.

Thank you, love your vid’s.

You could mote than likely easily reroute those to some diy vents un yhe back of the console with some tubing

I believe when you have it on auto heat blows out of the bottom vents since heat rises and cold air blows out of the top vents since cold air sinks.

Been a GM guy for years, but GM has been behind for years when it comes to interiors and options. I say no, you didn’t get your moneys worth. I hope the 19s are better than the current generation. It seems like they are just playing catch up though. The vent situation is the same on the 2007.5-2013 trucks.

I'm amazed that people are driving around in a 6,000 lb truck and don't know about this. My '01 had these vents.

But my 14 Denali has vents on the back of the seats

I have the same thing on my 2011, but I knew it was there.

The reason why the truck doesn’t blow cold air out of the lower vents is because heat rises. You blow cold air out the upper vents to cool the hot air in the cabin. These trucks get ice cold inside if you let it. I keep mine set at 68 degrees in our 105 degree summer days and it gets there quick.

I think most vehicles have under-seat rear vents, as my 21-year-old Accord has them. My grandfather's 01 Silverado has actual console-mounted rear air vents though, so I guess Chevy decided to downgrade.

Those hidden vents are something else. Why would you hide vents? Lol

My truck has that n also the top vents .

cant figure out why gm did not put real vents back there. the get so close and they get to the end and just "ehh just do whatever." im sure the 2015-2020 f150 had it. 2020 for sure has it.

I'll take the rear passenger vents on the consule that my 2006 has over that floor crap

I can not tell if you are being serious or not, first off every car has those vents, second the heat coming out of the back boards, is when you have the seats on cool, it will push out heat through the exhaust vents, put your seats on heat and cool air will come out.
