2023's should not be having any a/c issues. If so, you need to take it to the dealer.
My A/C is ice cold.

TSB #24-001-20 A/C Fix. Has anyone had it done yet? Plus are you happy with the results?

My A/C is ice cold.
It’s at the dealer and has been for 2 weeks, the truck has 200 miles on it and they state it’s normal although we tried another TRX and there was a clear difference. I need that TSB number. All the dealer wants to do is push the truck and the problem onto me.

The TSB was for a retrofit. A 2023 would already have the retrofit. There must be some other issue as well, if you drove another TRX and it was ok. why would the dealer attempt to apply the TSB?
Perhaps you should take it to another dealer (sounds like it to me).
Did you read ANY of the thread before diving right in today?
I’ve read 10 different threads and it seems like many TRX owners have the same issue. One guy at the dealer owns one and his 22’ is good but his brothers 23’ is terrible. They don’t have a solution and star/Chrysler engineering has stated there is nothing wrong. It takes 10 minutes to cool the truck down, even at max AC the air flow is light, temperature seems fine but the ventilated seats barely work (I cant feel any flow).

Ventilated seats only "feel" vented only if the cab is cooled down first. The TSB # is in the header of the thread topic.
Yeah I figured TSB number in the thread header was the one, I was hoping there was a new one for newer years. The dealer isn’t going to do anything for me so I suppose I need to take it to another dealer. I have a 2020 ford explorer too and the difference between that and the TRX is night and day.
Does your AC suck?
Mine does. It's been triple digits here for a couple of weeks and no one wants to ride in the TRX because it doesn't cool off until we get to our destination. My other cars cool off much quicker. Putting aside the TRX's somewhat anemic airflow (which is way too little given the size of the TRX's...

Looks its time for you to perform the "A/C HACK".Does your AC suck?

I’ve put a new cabin filter a month or two ago and still weak. On heat it seems stronger but unfortunately on a/c or max a/c it just can’t keep up. It’s reaching 90+ now in Oklahoma and the a/c almost is a driving factor to trade her in.
********UPDATE 6/29/23**********
Here in Oklahoma it’s getting HOT! 110 or so and I got desperate, I opened up the glove box ripped out the cabin air filter and BAM I was hit with strong blowing air. I went back on my orielys acct and seen I had purchased a HEPA filter and read all the reviews of it killing the circulation.

Agreed...my 2020 sucked and I was likely the first one to actually get a TSB for the issue. Helped but didn't cure it...my 2023 is like ICE the way it should be.

I swear. sometimes I have to turn it off, then just use recirc with no a/c on

I was wondering that as well, with the bigger engine. Seems as the internals regarding the a/c would be the same.

You’d think so. Especially in 2023. Unless they never applied the TSB to the trx, which would be really really dumb. The hack will show of that’s what the problem is.

Shouldn’t be too hard to do. I would think the coolant lines are in the same location, but can’t say for sure. Here’s a pic of mine. I’d get a vent thermometer as well to measure before and after. Let us know how it goes!

Or just get a set of the clamps at Harbor Freight and clamp off the line leading into the heater core.

Spends too much time on here
Mine is in for cracked exhaust manifolds now which they are about done with. They are going to check the AC and apply the recall next. The 23 loaner they gave me is ice cold. My truck is fine with the front windshield IR ceramic tint but if I can get this level of chill in the cab that this 23 has, that would be sweet
