Amazing A/C

[bgn]

Agree. AC is very impressive. From friends that own Ford trucks, it sounds like that's a commonality across the lineup.

YES, the AC is amazing! Just remember to use the OEM Motorcraft cabin filter. The cheaper multi-layered, carbon filters are too thick and restrict airflow which reduces the efficiency of the AC system.

BIGGEST impression after a week of ownership is the freaking air conditioning ROCKS. I was afraid rear passengers would be left wanting with no rear ac vents but it blows so strong that when in the back, I can even feel airflow from the side vents.

I agree, AC is very good. My son's 2008 Honda Civic alternator failed Sunday night on the Southern State parkway, Valley Stream, NY. It was so great waiting in the hybrid Mav for the AAA tow truck to arrive. Kept us cool waiting, my 6 year old granddaughter was a real trooper Engine would kick on about every 15 minutes otherwise AC running on electric! Just so amazing.
I picked up my Mav in March. How is the heat? All the Fords I've ever owned had good heating/cooling systems. Our Hondas are adequate but the Fords are much better IMHO.

"...the freaking air conditioning ROCKS..."

I have an issue with my AC, but it doesn't keep it from working. I think the AC works extremely well also.

Yes the A/C is great. Much better than my Escape or Flex.

EB and hybrid are two different systems but all the new Fords will freeze you out.
the wife's 05 Escape needed one coolant top off in 15yrs my F150 is good going on 13yrs.

A/C is great. I will agree the increments don't seem to be much different. I wish low blew less. Always feels like it is blowing too hard. Better than not enough I guess.

Very much a fan(no pun intended). I did put a 70% ceramic film on the windshield as well as 20% ceramic film on the front windows - both are simply fantastic at keeping heat out of the vehicle. Also think the vertical/small rear truck window does not allow a lot of direct sunlight in where a sedan or more aero vehicle has more windshield and rear window to heat up.

Combined with my Contractor White color....

I leave it on auto between 72-73 degrees, non-max AC, and it cools quickly, quietly, and will even use ASS with AC running.

Ceramic is the way......

All my vehicles have been “too much blow in low” use the vent and floor to reduce it…nothing wrong with cool feet…

Yup. No doubt. For a little truck with a little 4 cylinder/hybrid engine, this pony has some BUMPIN AC.

All my Fords have had great AC. On my Maverick I keep my fan around 3 or 4, anything more and it blows so hard I think it might blow my skin off

I've been happy with it. Only people ever really in our back seat is kids who will complain either way and visiting friends or family who are just happy to be in Hawaii weather. But we do stay nice and cool in there. Though it is our first vehicle with AC not much to compare too lol.

Ha yea I have conditioned (pun intended) my son at a young age, as my old Hyundai stopped blowing cold air til the vehicle was going above 30 or 40mph lol.. today he told me he was cold and had the biggest smile on his face

Yes, I just got ceramic tint, the.. "block out 99% of ir rays" type.. wasn't sure how much of that was advertising and stretching words but today I had a chance to be in the Florida sun for a while.. I definitely felt a difference in the cabin temps.. once we get up to speed I can even set it to recirculate and ride around one the lowest fan setting
