Agree, check the ac charge.

A few things you can do. Keep your condenser clean. If you have been on dusty roads or muddy tails, there could be dirt collecting and needs to be sprayed off.

Also, ac temp will always be warmer in traffic opposed to driving the highway.

Works well in south florida for me. Just tinted my entire windshield the other day. deff keeps the truck a LOT cooler

Is that legal to tint your windshield? What % tint did you go with and did you use ceramic tint? I think this is a good idea bc most of your heat is coming through the windshield anyway.

Thank you for the tips. I wish it a dirty condenser, as my truck is four months old and never seen the dirt.

Known issue mine is weak and I have had it checked at 3 (2 Ford and my regular shop) different places. To be honest the Ford AC has never been the Gold Standard. Drove me crazy with my oil burners. Just learn to live with it--one of the things I miss from the other brand of truck. My Jeep a 2013 blows out so hard and cold that even in the upper 90's on the road will freeze me out halfway home whereas the Raptor is just getting tolerable.

I hear you. I guess it bothers me because my old Tundra's a/c would get to about 37* in under five minutes and stay that way regardless of temperature. It's not the end of the world but disappointing for such an expensive vehicle

My raptor is also a 2013 and is also weak I also have a f250 2013 work truck with the same engine 6.2 and the a/c on the f250 is a lot cooler than the raptor
I'm also thinking of taking it in to get checked out

Could be something as simple as cheap ass pos schrader valves that they used when they made your guys round of 12's
