I read this thread and was like yeah I have this too. So yesterday it was 90+ here. Checked the drivers side vent. There was less air flow coming out than the rest. Then I checked the wheel under it. It was all the way right. Or so I thought. Pushed a little more to make sure, and it rolled to the right another half inch. Now it blows as hard as the rest do. Guess I can't add to the complaint

Same here, noticeably lack of volume from the AC. My 2009,2014, 2016 F150 all had a lot more cooler flow!

I had the same issue even after swapping out my cabin air filter. I found that the foot vent was not turning off and air was still flowing thru the foot vent. After toggling the foot vent on/off button it finally closed and the air coming out of my driver side vents is very strong once again. Hope that helps.

Shut the truck off for an hour and it was fine when I came back.
The exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. Been fine since.

I did to the other day. Barely anything. Wonder if it’s due to manual setting v automatic.

i've experienced the issue also...i put the ac in max mode and then turn the fan speed down some and the vent seems to push out a lot more air.

Was out and about doing a whole bunch of short trips. The difference in airflow between the center stack and the vents at the ends of the dash is massive. All the solar load is from the windows… and there isn’t any viable flow there. Disappointing is an understatement.
