Where does it go?

Where does it go?
Two months ago, we bought a new 2014 Ford F150 FX4 with EcoBoost.
Usually, when running the AC, and a vehicle is parked for a few minutes, one can see water that's been dripping under the vehicle from the AC.
Not this truck?!?!
Where does it go?
Thanks!

I think my may drop on the exhaust honestly. Almost every time I park my truck I can walk around the front and hear what sounds like water dripping in the exhaust. I'll have to crawl under it today and see, you got me curious now.

I know that the newer model Fusions have a drainage issue with the AC, which then causes the AC to have a very foul odor after some time. I'm not sure if the F150s have this same issue, but maybe a possibility?

THANK YOU ALL for your posts!
The humidity should not be a factor, although we live in SW IN - EXTREMELY HUMID! Running the AC causes condensation which must drip SOMEWHERE! But...where???? Every vehicle I've owned has had water dripping from the AC wherever it's been parked - even if just for a few minutes.
Dripping out the exhaust IS a possibility...I'll check!
The Service Manger told us in the new Ford trucks, there are SEVERAL plates under the new trucks, so "dripping" is not seen. In the plates are absorbent-type pads. Questions:
Would that not cause mold?
Would that not smell?
I can see the connection between "no-dripping" and "ECO"Boost, but it's just water!
This past Monday, he had the Service Dept. check the AC. They said it's blowing at 41 degrees - which is standard. He also said it had to be on MAX to be COLD. Mmmmm...
We have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport which blows COLD air almost immediately.
We have a 2012 CTS which blows COLD air almost immediately.
It's my husband's truck. I'm just doing the research to see if anyone else has experienced this or questioned it.
THANKS, EVERYONE!!!

I have a 2014 and must say the A/C is a lacks a little to be desired compared to other vehicles we own and have owned. I had a '94 F250 that would run you out in 95 degree weather. Seldom ran it on Max A/C. I'm assuming it is due to some cost cutting in a lesser compressor or something. It's been fairly mild for an Alabama summer so far and I am not looking forward to when it really gets oppressive. Thank goodness I have remote start - I'm getting used to that quickly.
