The F150 has 3 level, manual seat and steering wheel warming.

The Mazda has heated and vented seats front and back along with a heated steering wheel. All three functions are three level, manually controlled.

I would describe the seat heat in my current truck as slightly above body temperature... on the flip side my 04 was unbearable on high... like uncomfortably hot.

That being said... my experience with GM heat and air is consistently you need a coat in the summer and a cutoff in the winter. I have watched snow flakes come out of my air vents on more than one occasion.

I think that these sealed bearing idler and tensioner pulleys are not as long lasting as used to be . If possible I usually lift the seal and put a bit more decent grease in there .....but its pointless if you damage the seal .

The plastic pulley has already started eating itself on the belt. The whole assembly is getting replaced under warranty

That's about 5C. which to me is way too Early. Cadillac doesn't, or didn't provide a way to adjust the Temp, only on or off. Even when it was -30c a couple of Months ago, I was turning the Wheel and Seat Heaters off in less than 3 minutes

I can adjust all those setting on my wife’s Cadillac.

I have found that the old fashioned metal idler pulleys last about 100k miles and are pretty cheap to replace. I usually replace the belt & pulleys at the same time.
