[QUOTE="aileron, post: 1715553, member: 47732"] Has anyone else noticed the heating and A/C is just not that powerful on their Gen3? 1. Even cranked up to "HI" temperature and max fan speed, the air is more like "very warm" than hot, and it's not blowing that fast. Both in temperature and in speed it feels like it's set one notch below what I'd expect the maximum to be. In contrast - my Porsche will burn you if you hold your hand in front of the vent on max/Hi. 2. The auto climate control is not very aggressive. In my old Gen2 I generally left it at 70 and it worked fine. In the Gen3 I have to crank it up to 78 if I want it to warm - down to 65 if I want it cool. Yes, I do have the auto fan speed limit set to max. It just doesn't try very hard to reach the set temperature. 3. The vents don't seem balanced, there is more air coming out of the center vents than the side vents. 4. Very little airflow and heat/cold reaches the rear seats. I don't remember these issues on the Gen2. Anyone else noticed something similar? I like driving trucks because they usually have pretty robust HVAC - this one is just adequate. The weather here has been pretty mild since I got the truck two months ago - I'm a little concerned about what it will be like when I take into actual hot/cold weather. [/QUOTE]
