I have the heated leather seats in mine. I believe when you order the leather package, heated seats are part of it. You should be fine.

Is your truck a Laramie?

SLT trucks can have leather but my understanding is that Only Laramie's have seat heaters. I May be wrong though.

I'm guessing from his user name that he has an 03. Back then leather was standard on the Laramie, but heated was an extra option even with the group 2 option.

I think the heated ones have two tubes full of wires going from the connector up to the base of the seat.

It might be good to have a service manual for the upgrade. In addition to the heated seats and switches there is a digital control module.

I wish I could have A/C in mine... ! Actually for my wife, I never use the A/C even in the warm months we have. I really hate the cold (anything under 65 degrees). And it's been cold lately.

I dont believe the trim code tells you. To my understanding the first 2 digits indicates whether its leather, vinyl, or cloth and the last 2 digits are the color code

I also was thinking of something else. I wonder if you'll need a new dash trim panel? or is the space easily cut out? I never seen one without heated seat controls so I dont know what that area of the panel looks like w/o them

My truck is a 2005 Laramie and it has heated leather seats. I believe the heating units are already in the seats. Maybe someone will correct me if I am mistaken.
