Do you see the AC condensation dripping underneath your rigs when using the AC?
On my other SUV, I can see the condensation dripping when AC is used but not on the Ranger. I had the Ranger for over 2 years and just noticed this in last couple of months since it's been super hot lately and AC is at full blast.

With my Highlander, I see lots of AC condensation but with the same weather (yesterday was 114 degrees with about 15 percent humidity) I never see any from the Ranger. I find that strange. I have no indication that the drain hose is plugged.

If the humidity is high mine pours out. But if it's 40% or less I don't really see anything.
I'm located here in SoCal and it's always dry heat. My FJ Cruise is dripping no mater what the humidity is and the Ranger I don't see any, it weird.

Check Spark Plug #1....

sorry, couldn't resist.

I've never noticed any condensation but I know the AC works very well.
I know, saw some of the thread here about #1 spark plug. I wonder if the AC condensation goes some else in the Engine or it get recycled.

I have an FJ Cruiser and I see condensation no matter what the temp is. Yeah it's weird that there nothing on the Ranger.

Make sure there's no fuel in your oil...or install a tail gate damper as soon as possible...

If you didn't know many newer home ACs started pumping condensate water onto the condenser valve that gets hot to increase efficiency m. I really doubt the Rangers are doing that but maybe?
The wife's GLK does something similar so that no water drips on the garage floor. I haven't really noticed any from the Ranger. I'll have to pay closer attention but haven't seen anything on the floor except for the nasty tailpipe droppings :(
