Default 2017 F150 poor heat/blower performance? Plz help...

Hello. I hope I posted this in the correct forum. I apologize if I didn't. I own a new 2017 Ford F150 Lariat(first Ford Ive ever owned)with dual climate control. Today was the first day I had to use my heat. I prestarted the truck and it was at full operating temp when I left for work. I set the temp at "high" with full power fan. I set for interior recirculation. After a about a 20 min drive, the heater was maybe just over warm. I never turned down the blower or temp the entire drive. I just felt it should have been blowing hotter and also the blower seemed under powered as compared to my last Silverado. This is my first Ford and just don't know if is normal? Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hmm. I’ve got a 2017 xlt and my heater cooks me or if I leave it on high fan and temp. But I have he manual system. Upstate ny weather, was 28 this morning. Had to turn it down 5 minutes into drive. No preheating.
