I don't understand why people complain about the ac. My ac is super cold and it's a supercrew. The day of my wedding was so hot and sticky in left the truck running so I can cool off very now and then during the photo session. I remember my back feeling the seat(cloth) being super cold. I'm sure the new truck will be fine.

I think there are some trucks out there that for whatever reason have weak a/c. Mine works great. Passengers complain it's too cold.

I hope there will be a rear AC in the XLT as a standard , such nice room with just a front AC is not enough i believe .

Don't be such a hater of the ecoboost.

Mine actually works quite well!

I see a lot of posts about weak AC in these trucks. I have a '13 with an eco and mine seems to work just fine. I live in Florida so it gets quite a bit of use. Is this something that people experience with thier new truck or is the AC degrading over time?

Issue is fixed in '13-'14 from what I can tell. My '12 has an AWFUL A/C and it's an XLT SCAB, my step father's XLT SCREW is a '13 and freezes me out and I can audibly hear the difference when the A/C is on. Mine is silent, his is louder. Dude at work has a '14 and his A/C is the same as my step father's.

Ford tells me mine is in specifications but I have to roll down the window most days in summer because it feels better than the A/C.

edit: dude in my old neighborhood has a '11 STX with a craptastic A/C too.

I've tried wrapping the pipes but it didn't help.

Small sample, etc, I get it. But something is definitely different in the '13/'14

I've posted this several times before, to make this point. My 2010 puts out 43° at the vent when it is 108° outside here in Lost Wages.

If your truck can't do that, there is something mechanically wrong with it.

Repeat, if your truck can't do that, there is something mechanically wrong with it.

BTW, humidity has no effect on the temp out of the vents, FWIW.

Other people have posted similar temps. If Fords did not have good a/c here, or in Phoenix or Houston etc., who out here would buy them?

When I pull my boat out onto a 120°+ boat ramp, I expect to feel cool air out the a/c vents in 5 minutes or less. It does it.
