They do have 2 rear air vents, on the back of the front center arm rest. I assume that means if you get the front bench seat, it would delete the air vents.

I asked the mods to reset the poll and delete the Ceiling location choice because that's not gonna be possible with glass and cabana roof options.

Also added the B-Pillar location option. So vote in the poll above again!
ID. Buzz has a glass roof and ceiling vents, but it may be easier with sliding doors (picture from Car and Driver).

What about C or D pillar? For giant farm dog, cut flower and small ruminant transport on those hot summer days.

The pictures of the back of the bench seat show air vents and seat heater switches. Other cars have had such vents.

I guess part of it depends on if they are focusing more on SUV or off-road. Given the length, sure feels more SUV. SUV's are often kid carriers. I know my kids HATE the back seat of my VW due to the poor a/c vents. They do ok with the wrangler, but honestly it is not nearly as good as the Sienna minivan. Honestly don't use the F250 enough for kid carrying for them to have a huge opinion of it.

Main thing - if they want this to be a family SUV, they need to put effort in the rear seat AC. Most full size SUV's also seem to have rear AC's - but perhaps that is only those with 3rd row. Personally this will be a pup carrier for me - so I hope the rear has decent AC - even with the 2nd row of seats down (as seat/console vents might be blocked at that point). Plus it would be better to camp out of.

Broncos dont have rear air vents? Wow, that is quite frankly ridiculous and hillarious they went to market that way. I wouldnt even consider a vehicle without them. This is the 21st century and a 70K vehicle.
Broncos have rear facing floor vents under the front seats. While this makes sense for heating, it sucks for A/C. :(

IMO, the best and simplest options would be center console vents for A/C AND floor vents for heat.

That’s what I thought at first but I think it’s some where in the Forums of the bench seat interior, it actually still has the air vents suprisingly.

The bench seat does retain the air vents in the rear, albeit they are lower down.
