I have searched for an answer to this question and can't find it so I'll ask actual owners. Is the 40 / 20 / 40 leather seat ventilated? I see that the 75th bucket seats are supposed to be ventilated.

Thanks, I'm in Las Vegas where its mighty hot.

To the best of my knowledge the ventilated seat feature code (CAJ) is only available on the Power Wagon as part of the A75 option group.

thanks that's what it looks like to me too. I did ask the dealer also but turn around on questions is slow cause I'm overseas for another month.
 
The 2019/20 PWs have available ventilated split bench front seats (the only seat configuration available until 21 75As added the buckets). I haven't been in a 2021 but I can't imagine FCA removed that feature just because they added the optional bucket/console configuration.

I've seen it mentioned in a review or two for the pre-21's which is what got me looking for it on the 21.
 
I find it interesting that it isn't listed in the level 2 or 75th anniversary packages when building a PW online. You would think they would list every addition, no matter how small, to make the packages sound as necessary as possible. It would also be nice if the photos of "your truck" matched reality. Sometimes it is obvious they rendered wrong parts into the image (like incorrect buttons around the gear shift puck, an incorrect knob on the heater control, and ventilated seat buttons that disappear with selection of the 8.4 vs 8.4 Nav, unless that last one is actually true). They need someone more detail oriented to be in charge of their "build it yourself" web page.

I don't understand how Ram operates in this day and age with such a pathetic website. Basic information cannot be found, glitches in the truck builder, images missing for parts, wrong images shown etc. Don't they have a team dedicated to building and maintaining their website? All I can figure is they expert their dealer network to do all the heavy lifting, but often the dealers don't know the answers to your questions either.

The website does leave a lot to the imagination. In trying to put together a build I was left with a lot of questions that would be easy to answer with more information and better pictures.

Sure does I just checked Ram Canada build and price and the bench seats in the level 2 are ventilated as well as the buckets in the 75A. Ram USA doesn't list either as being ventilated.
If you think the graphics on the build and price in the US is bad you should try building it on Ram Canada it is even worse.
 
I'm on the fence with the 75A. I could get everything I want with a Level 2, trailer tech, and U connect 12. For about $3K more I could get the 75A. So the question is what more do I get for $3K and do I need or want it. I see the different seats and center console, rock rails, the electronic transfer case, 75th badging, beadlock ready wheels and maybe I'm missing some other minor items? --edit-- I included the 17 speaker audio upgrade when comparing price

That's probably about right.... and I bet the resale would be a bit better later on too, for the 75A.

Don't forget the Off Road pages. I believe they may be 75A specific (could be wrong).

Nothing like a rare run of a vehicle. I was planning on waiting to get a new truck in 2022/2023 but I'm not passing up on this package. It's personal choice though. Can't go wrong either way...it's still a Power Wagon!!!!

I looked at the list of stuff that comes with the 75A package and I'm gonna do it too.
 
I think the off road pages are available on all 2021 now. But yea the interior is so much nicer coming from my 2019 level 2 package to the 75A.

Headlights are different as well.

Like previously mentioned it's a numbered version maybe holds resale a little better?

I got mine in anvil which I think only comes for the 75A, originally wanted olive green but this deal was too good to pass up

Both Anvil grey and Olive Green look good. The headlight are "bifunctional" maybe that was from the Ca website. I guess that means they can look any direction like a gecko.

Bifunctional means that there is a single low beam projector that has a solenoid operated shield that will drop, and act as the high beams, rather than having a separate high beam bulb. Those headlights are also adaptive, as a separate feature from bifunctional.

I have to say these complex electromechanical devices really worry me. I'm gonna bang around off road and I'll bet right now that the headlights become a problem.
