Yes, sadly, the heated steering wheel is one of the 2-3 options that was removed due to the chip shortage. I will miss that, especially, since the use of the heated steering wheel and heated seats, over using the E-Heater, is one of Ford's recommendations for conserving battery on their electric vehicles in the colder months. I will be planning to have the steering wheel replaced with a heated one at some point down the line once the parts are available, but it is my understanding that the $140 deducted from the sticker price is much less than the $900+ I am hearing that it will cost to add it in down the line...

From a Ford Authority article from Oct 19, bold is my emphasis:
" The heated steering wheel removal option – officially called Steering Wheel – Heat Removal (94X) Removal of Heated Steering Wheel – is mandatory on all new orders – including both scheduled and unscheduled orders – and has already been implemented. However, Ford will announce a Field Service Action in the future to restore heated steering wheel functionality, though it’s unclear at this time when that might be. Ford is making this temporary change in an effort to deliver customer vehicles more quickly. "

Another newbie side note about heated seats, my wife was complaining that her seat was cold after another morning of failed cabin preconditioning.

I turned her seat heat on to warm it up, but the front passenger seat heating light went off after tapping the "driver focused" function in the climate control panel.

I was under the misimpression that it was only to change the cabin temps from dual zone to unified control, but it also switched off the passenger seat heating!

Driver focus turns off the passenger side floor vents IF there is no one sitting in the seat - so you can leave it on all the time. I suppose that means it turns off seat heater as well if no one is sitting there (like during pre-conditioning).

How Does Driver Focused Mode Work
When active, driver focused mode automatically shuts off the floor duct on the front passenger side when the front passenger occupancy seat sensor detects no one is on the front passenger seat.

Driver Focused Mode Limitations
The system does not function in the following conditions:
  • The outside ambient temperature is 5.0°F (-15°C) or less.
  • Defrost or Max Defrost mode is selected.
  • Any of the required sensor readings are faulty or disabled.
Switching Driver Focused Mode On and Off
Ford F-150 Lightning 2023 Lariat: rear heated seats? 1668544058512
Press the button on the touchscreen to access the climate controls.
Press Driver Focused.
When active, driver focused mode switches off when any of the following occur:
  • You switch it off in the touchscreen.
  • You switch dual mode on.
  • You adjust the passenger temperature.
  • You adjust the passenger heated or cooled seat settings.

Thanks for finding these details, I guess I need to stop pushing buttons in the wrong order.
