1,200 miles in, and the only issue so far is the air conditioning; I don't find it cold enough, so I'll have it looked at when I go in for the first oil change.

Outside of that, the truck has been perfect - and I get nods of approval everywhere I go.

Whats your average MPG at? Mines been stuck at 13.5 but only been city driving for 150 miles.

1,600 miles in, 19.6mpg. Very hilly where I live, and I drive mostly backroads. But I haven’t really been pushing it.

Let us know what you find out, mine also doesn't seem to get as cold as it should.

Interestingly, today was in the 70s and I had it set to 72 and it was super cold. When my wife complained about it a week ago, it was 98°. Still…. A/C should be ice cold.

My TH's A/C worked great in Vegas/across the Mojave desert. 104 outside. Fans were 1 step below max most of that drive /air cooled seats so damn nice. I left the dealership with an Xpel nano ceramic tint on all side windows/ (back window already tinted from factory?), that really helps cut down on heat. Plus, paint albedo is a factor too. darker colored tacos' A/C work harder.

What about your outside humidity vs recirc airflow. Sometimes if it's pulling in humid hot air that could be a factor? IDK if the recirc only pertains to the defroster...

Not sure. I did put recirc on at that point and I didn't notice much of a difference. Like I said, it all seems fine now that the temps are lower.

Enjoying absolutely everything else about it though. Especially when random folks came up this weekend and said, "You know, I'm not a truck guy, but damn that's a nice-looking truck" and "I love that truck. That's a great spec."
