Default Ford finally got the A/C right in '15

I have had many trucks over the years. This is the first one that the A/C was really good. After living with my '06 F-150 summer sauna for years, this is a nice surprise. I never really have to use the full cold position to make a comfortable cabin.

X2, loving the AC in my 16. My 05 was never anything close to this, but it's common knowledge for anyone that knows anything about the 04-08's that they had terrible AC.

It's been very hot here this past week.

Have loved mine, my only thing is the roof radiating heat. May have to pull it and add some insulation/dynomat to repel some heat

While the AC is my '16 is fantastic, I've never had a A/C problem on any Ford i've ever owned. All 4 of my Mustangs, 2005 Exporer, 2005 Focus, 2008 Fusion, 2011 F150, and 2012 Fusion have been ICE cold.

I'm a hot nature type person, and use my A/C constantly. There's no such thing as too cold of a cabin for me so I'd know if they weren't frosting me enough.

Agreed - I hated the A/C in my 14. But I hate the new polygon vents. It feels like you had a lot more range of direction with the old round vents.

+1 ... 3 Mustangs, 2 Focuses, and 2 F-150s, never had an A/C problem.

Honda, on the other hand... what a let-down! 08 Civic had no ***** in the A/C, and it was a serious hit to power when it was on 85 degrees out, and I couldn't get the cabin cool, and I had tinted windows and all!

This is my 4th f150: '97, '06, '13 and now '15 and this is the only one that has had decent AC. I say decent because while it is adequate, I have had other vehicles that are definitely better, even a crappy '05 Dodge Neon.

Same here, the A/C in my '15 gets crazy cold and I'm in south Texas! The '13 F150 I traded in....not so much

I just don't get why on auto mode it starts out on full blast before it has heated up / cooled down. Never had a vehicle that does that before.....

My 08 Fusion will form ice crystal on your nose on a 100+ degree day! Maybe you just needed a recharge on your 06 F-150?
