some do leak if sitting on the lot a while and seals dry out, especially if buying last years model.

i find AC works best when you drive it for a few minutes.

they're using "R1234yf" in these now. In earlier models, you could just add some refrigerant and test the pressure and give it a boost.

Can't do that now.

Truck was brand new (custom order). I am up in Canada, does anyone know if you can just take it into the closest dealership, or do you have to go where it was purchased for work like this?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I do believe something is not quite right with the AC unit. Hope to find out soon!

I have a 2016 XLT SCREW and it blows ice cubes with temps in the 90's and high humidity. Don't try to out think the system. It is designed to run on recirculate when the outside temperature is above 75. It works more efficiently that way.

But the 2017 uses R1234YF and 2016 uses R134A. Maybe the new refrigerant is not quite as cold. I think all current generation trucks have R1234YF components. One of the refrigerant lines in my truck was marked R1234YF/R134A. I read that you can use R134A in a YF system but not the reverse.

Warranty is good at any Ford/Lincoln dealer in North America. No obligation to go back to the selling dealer.

I've noticed the air doesn't quite seem to have the same volume as my 2011 did in auto. The main diff I see is you have to manually kick it in the butt a little. Cools down quick -max recirculate. Hmmm. Programming...
I thought larger vents, same volume and less force???

Absolutely NOT!

Vehicles with R-1234yf have different service fittings than R-134a vehicles to prevent cross-contamination with different refrigerants. Also, it’s illegal to put R-134a or any other refrigerant into a car originally equipped with R-1234yf. In fact, using any refrigerant other than R-1234yf in a R-1234yf system may constitute emissions tampering.

Mine gets sooooo cold the door locks sometimes freeze.


Whoops, forgot, that was last winter.

Mine froze my *** off within minutes last summer when new. This year not so much, takes longer and there are moments where warm hair blows through the vents for a second or two. Sure it's a freon leak and hopefully they acknowledge it. At this rate I'll be out of warranty next year because of the miles. Need a few things checked and fear the dealer will scratch or damage something else.
