I'd be surprised if Ford downgraded the performance of the A/C system. They actually do test these things...they don't just buy some components off the shelf, install them, and say "that works." They actually test them in extreme heat for durability and performance. I'm sure they took into account the added solar load of the mega-moonroof. These trucks went through a ton of hot-weather testing towing at the Davis Dam and other hot places. I'm sure the engineers would have noted and corrected poor A/C performance.

The vents have a larger opening area for this generation. Even if the fan blower was exactly the same, the driver would perceive the A/C as blowing out more slowly...despite exactly the same amount of cooled air being introduced to the cab.

I have had zero issues with my truck A/C I actually think it's better then my 12 I had. But then again on this truck I tinited the windows and sunroof with ceramic tint to keep the heat out and never even drove with without the tint installed. And I live in south texas we have had a few days over 100 degrees since I have owned my truck.

I have not had an issue with AC. It gets the truck pretty darn cold. But that was only at 80 outside. Also my traffic works. I can go to the screen and see a list of all the road work, accidents and alternate routes available. Unless you guys are talking about a different traffic function im not aware of. As far as complaints i dont really have any. Its light years better than my 08 King Ranch. The only thing i can think of is a little wind noise from the driver side door which happens at about 80mph so im not to concerned about it.

R134a takes 10,000 to 20,000 miles to break in and get efficient......that's been my expirence with all my new cars since the early 1990s when R134a was phased in.

I know it's all personal preference but I cannot stand the new seat design, compared to my '16 these are the most uncomfortable seats I have been in and we have owned a lot of different cars/trucks. I have tried adding foam and even swapped out the cooled seat foam for a standard foam with no luck. So now we have no heated/cooled seats. My next thing is to look and see if a different seat or aftermarket seat will work. Other than that I love the truck and it's not an option to sell the truck with the loss we will take.

Hope I don't have a big list of things I don't like when it finally does arrive.
I second that sentiment, hopefully will find out next week.

The fact that I can't have my 2017 SD and a 2017 Raptor at the same time. The SD it is!
