Default Practically No Airflow Through Driver's Side Vent

Just curious if anybody else has this issue? When running AC, even at full blast, there is hardly any air that comes from the far left air vent. A majority of it comes out of the middle vents. I wonder if this is a design issue, or if something is faulty on my truck. Anybody else dealing with this?

I know this may sound like a silly suggestion....but have you checked the "shut off" wheel just below the vent? The reason I ask is that my wife is cold natured and is always turning off the vent when she's in my truck. Just something that you can check.

Yes, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that easy.

I noticed this with my truck as well. Airflow from the far left drivers side vent is much weaker than the rest of the vents. I did check to make sure that the vent is actually open.

Same here, funny thing is that I just noticed it today. I was pretty sure it hadn't been that way before as I froze my hand on a longer drive once from the air coming out, now barely any and the sun was heating up my arm.

I have the same issue. I also had an instance today where all vents shut off. The blower was running, but very little air came out of all vents.

Shut the truck off for an hour and it was fine when I came back.

Of all the vents in the truck the drives left vent blows less air than the rest of them. I thought it was just the steering wheel blocking the air but it's definitely just not blowing as much air.

I have the same issue too. I'm not too impressed with the AC in this truck. On super hot days I found myself wanting more but it was on max. Never had that with my past Fords. My '18 Explorer Sport blew ice cold air that could freeze you out on a 100+ degree day.
