Air conditioning acting up
Well i had my first expeience with just how bad the AC is in our trucks. I know alot of people have mentioned this before... It got up to 89 degreees in MN yesterday and i had about a 40 min drive to a client meeting. During this time my truck had a hard time getting cold. It got cool inside but never to the point where i was ready to turn the fan down or temp back up. I was always feeling like i wanted more 
. This was great since i was wearing a suit. Anyone else noticing this? Love the truck otherwise! (aside from my newly found oil consumption)

89 degrees? really? you couldn't live in Florida... 89 is a GOOD day!
it's a big truck cab, it takes a little while too cool, but yeah in the 2010 scab I had, the AC always seemed rather weak...
and the oil consumption thing, I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially if you have under 6-7 thousand miles on the truck. once the engine is fully broken in, the consumption will slow way down

As for the AC most times its fine but when i get mild florida weather up here it sucks. The weird part is that i am just noticing it now.... We had some hot 100+ degree days up here this summer...
Edit: BTW I have 9500 miles on the truck....

my a/c seems to be working great on my f150. My wife's 2011 fusion, however, is weak to the point where if I need to be cool I force it into max ac with the blower on high - I will be complaining to the dealership soon
