Nice truck! Welcome to the site!

About the question, I have no clue. Try the HVAC forum.

It depends on the humidity level.

More humidity=more condensation.

After that, how would you like it measured--liters per hour at idle speed?

Reread your question-it is impossible to answer.

Thats your answer right there.

As long as it's liquid condensation, then everything is working properly. Doesn't matter if it's a drip or a solid stream. But if it's freezing on the line, then you have a problem.

As opposed to a solid condensation?

Liquid conensation is normal and means your HVAC is functioning properly.

Solid condensation is ice, not normal and not good.

Are you talking about inside the truck? If so your problem is running the AC with the air being used from the outside. Simply turn you AC on and let it start working to cool the truck and then switch it over to the air inside the vehicle. This should stop this from happening. Good luck. If you are talking about outside, then it is what it is. Some is good, none is bad.
