Black interior in a HOT weather climate - anyone?

I've been having this same debate with myself. My current DD has black leather seats which are only heated - not ventilated - and they get miserably hot on sunny days. The back sweat is real. But, they're "sport" seats which really hug you and I'm sure that's part of the problem. I've thought about going back to cloth when I go back to a truck for this reason. Cloth is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Some say ventilated seats help but I test drove a Laramie this summer and I could barely feel them on. Plus, Big Horn vs Laramie saves money and you can option a Big Horn with most of the same options.

Depending on the hood you are in cracking the windows by just an inch for at least two of the windows does wonders to keep the interior from scalding hot to a medium rare hot.
Then you A/C doesn’t have quite the heat load to over come when you get in.

Something must have been wrong with those ventilated seats. Mine are very noticeable even wearing jeans.

Maybe so. I could hear them running full blast but hardly anything was coming out and I was wearing shorts. It was brand new on the lot so who knows.
