I was vacuuming and I noticed the wet carpet on the passages side. Nothing was spilled and I use floor mats. I let it dry (two days) for a good time and it was fine. When I started vacuuming again, the water started coming in again underneath the carpet... what the hell is going on here?

Condensation from the AC should be gathered and flow outside the truck through the condensate line.

Not sure what this means "When I started vacuuming again, the water started coming in again underneath the carpet"

You saw water literally flowing into the truck when vacuuming, or you noticed that area was wet while vacuuming?

The top was dry. When I started to vacuum, the carpet was wet again..
I got 11k miles on it and it’s 2019. Never had this issue before

If the top (of the carpet) was dry, you vacuumed and the top of the carpet was then wet there is water under the carpet and the vacuum is drawing it up. It's water, correct? No smell or taste of coolant?

Since it's new probably good to take it to the dealer. Appears the drain is clogged, either at the tip under the truck with dirt or debris, of perhaps trash inside the box is clogging the top of the tube.

When you let the truck idle with the AC on high for ~5 minutes in the heat, does the condensation drain under the truck from the tube into a puddle?

A/C was cranked for the past few months... I was thinking it might be a/c too

I'm going with A/C. I had something similar a few weeks ago. I was driving the outer banks and had all the windows down and the A/C on around 67, but the lowest setting, and sure enough my passenger said they felt water near their feet. It was a combination of having the A/C on and the windows open.

I had the same issue with mine that went on for months, Thought it was the ac but they checked everything and problem kept happening, Had to try find it myself, There was a rubber plug missing at the back of the truck between the bed and the cab, found it by running a water hose over the truck for a while and the water was running along a channel from the back of the truck to the front rite under the door sill. Might not be that but my truck was stinking and full of mould from this happening for months. Had to get all new carpet put in.

Had same issue in my 2019 Raptor with less than 2000 miles.
Dealer had to modify a/c condenser drain line to get it out of firewall not to drain back into insulation on inside, and carpet on .
Has been fine since modified.
