I've been reading this thread for a while, interested to see if the AC was going to be a continuing issue with these trucks...
So today was the first semi-warm day here since purchasing the truck (8/31 build) It maxed out today around 88-89 in N TX, and not particularly humid. I had an opportunity to test a little bit with a Thermapen while running other errands.
Set to max AC, 88F ambient, with a fan speed around 5, the passenger dash vents will get as low as 48F given some time. Drivers side vents run at least 5 degrees warmer - typically 54-58F is the lowest they can get at idle or a bit above idle. Cruising off the idle peg, under 2K rpm the temps get a few degrees cooler than that at best. Rear vents are in the same neighborhood, slightly warmer than the passenger front vents. Tomorrow is forecast to be max 82F but I plan to check out two other cars in the driveway to compare. After that no warm temps in the forecast.
It is puzzling how the driver's side is consistently 5+ warmer that the passenger side.
I'd be pretty happy if it could push these temps out next summer when its 110F
All completely unscientific since the thermal load on the cabin was really not much by summer standards, but at least the AC is capable of putting out cool air.
