This might seem like an odd question but from what I've read with newer vehicles it would be a reasonable question.

I'm a member across several different vehicle makes/models forums and more and more I see posts regarding the A/C in new vehicles.

While I understand the newest refrigerant doesn't seem to cool as well as stuff from the years past, it also seems to be primarily on vehicles with large passenger areas that only have vents in the dash. Most common example would be crew cab pickup trucks.

So for those who have their Bronco or have done extensive test driving, how do you feel the A/C was?

I'm always hot as well. Haven't owned a vehicle with working A/C in years. My wife always gets that nice feature.

Whenever I get a Bronco cold A/C will be a very welcome feature!

It does get very cold. Just know it takes about 10 seconds to kick on once you start the vehicle (not sure why). Haven't really figured out the vents under the front seats in my 4 door since I haven't rode in the back yet.

ford notorious for ice cold a/c in they trucks
Yes, our F-150 work truck is ice cold and I love it. I was hoping for a similar system in the Bronco. Bring the ice! Winter is coming!

I was actually shopping crew cab F150s and Super Dutys before I said screw that I'm getting what I really want.

Lackluster A/C on the new trucks was something I was reading.

I have been impressed with how cold it blows, plenty of circulation and very cold.

Mine has the dual climate zone thing and it blows cold air. It blows cold air hard. I used to get hot in my Ram 1500 but the Bronco, not at all. I can play freeze out inside it!

The AC is great. It's my first fancy dual control for air which is great! People in the back seat feel the air, even with the wimpy under seat vents.

Don't have my 2dr but tested a 4dr. I'm in FL and this was a soft top. I. Had to turn ac down a bit.

Works way better than my m4's

You will be uncomfortably cold by the time the back seat passengers are cooled off.
