Climate control degrees range?

Climate control degrees range?
Hi,
I can't seem to find an answer anywhere on this so I'll ask here. I have a 2007 XLT Screw with the dial temp control. I am wondering if anyone knows what the temp range is for the dial. When the dial is all the way hot what temp is it supposed to be at? Same for the dial being 3/4, half way, etc. I can never seem to find a comfortable setting. It's either too hot or blowing cold.

That's what I'm saying...it's not programmed to anything. It blends in that amount of heat until the end of time. Say it's 80 deg's out and you have the dial half way. You'll keep getting that set amount even though the cabin will rise to 90 or beyond. It has no thermostatic control over temperature. I used to get the amount of heat that I wanted, then crack open windows to regulate temperature. It's either that or keep fiddling with the heat and fan dials. It's the same way with the AC. If you turn the AC on, the compressor will stay on, varying the dial will only blend in warm air with the AC. Hope that helps...

I get that but still not really the answer I was looking for. Maybe I'll have to go page five Google deep to get what I'm looking for. I'm just going to guess that if I crank the dial all the way hot that it will start blowing at 100°. I'll guess that the dial in the middle blows around 75°.

The dial controls a blend door. There is no actual heated coolant control on these trucks. So once the engine is up to temp @ 195 deg's, that is the maximum amount of heat that could be output. That heat is mixed with ambient air, so the same dial position will not result in the same temperature of heat coming out. It depends on outside temperature and engine temperature. Sorry, that's the best I can do...

That actually does work for me. That makes sense. I have owned a handful of GMC and Chevy trucks. This is my first Ford. I remember in my Chevys that the manual actually had a temp reading for the dial so I was wondering what Ford had set. I do like this truck but the next one I get will for sure have a climate control system. I really miss that.
Thanks for the responses.

It's like most kitchen faucets, you adjust cold versus hot to get what you want.
