Come to VA where it's in the 90's with oppressive humidity. I work in AZ (Yuma) often and while hot there you see much less humidity. This makes it worse IMHO.

I've experienced the humidity in Falls Church, but the humidity in Texas is something else. The A/C in my 2012 was useless, but the 2014 truck has been great. The A/C gets ice cold but I also have a smaller cab to cool down.

The AC in my 2013 is phenomenal. Of course, I have a RCSB, so I have a lot less volume to cool down. But I do live in southeast Texas and I do have black leather, so I've got that going for me.

2 words,...... remote start!

I use mine about 5 mins prior to clocking out and it's nice and chilly inside, granted I have less cabin space to cool down (super cab) but that remote start really does the trick, summer cool and heat for winter.

I use the remote start in this heat. Doesn't do much.

Might be low on R34, might be worth a trip to the dealer to have the pressures checked.

It is the worst stock A/C of any vehicle I've owned. Takes forever to get marginally cool, regardless of ambient temp, but really bad over 100 degrees.

Yup, my 12 screw takes a good 25 mins too cool down set to Max A/C! Ive also done the Insulation on the Cool Line Mod.!

My Wife's new Equinox will Freeze you out in 5 minutes set at halfway not on Max A/C and has black leather...

Fords A/C is Disappointing!

I'm going to say y'all have some kind of problem with your AC that you need to get checked out. 25 minutes on max AC and I need a jacket, even in 100 degree south Texas heat.

25 minutes? lolol, I'd be a grease spot on the seat by then here in AZ, lolol. My 2002 Powerstoke would freeze me out instantly, never had it serviced in 11 years. My wife has owned a few Equinox's and they would freeze you out in about 3 miles. The air comes out cold instantly. Seems like you have to get up to at least 70 mph for 1/2 hour before the A/C blows cold in the F150.

I had my 2013 F150 SC checked, everything ok according to Ford service. But for another $100 or so they offered me some aftermarket Arctic Blast upgrade, wtf?
