    Ive been in a camry/rav4 and the air conditioners were ice cold in them

    This tundra is pathetic. Have to always have it on high fan speed and still doesnt cool enough.

    Had dealer check it out. They leak checked it and said system was slighty overcharged. Still sucks

    I have a similar experience to you Nitricacid. I find that when it's really hot, I have to put the ventilated seats on high, and use the high A/C fan setting set to "face only" (diagram shows top/face vent only). I'm also not a big fan of the stylized air vents, they don't seem to be as directional. The last thing that I don't like about A/C, is that even though I have the infotainment screen set to "A/C on Auto"; the A/C never comes on when I hit auto. So, I never use Auto. PITA.

    This is the biggest thing I notice. My Tundra is still able to cool me down and stays comfortable, but I have to utilize a lower set-point than typical. Doesn't bother me too much.

    On my 2022 it’s ice cold!

    I also leave it on 68 and if I want it colder I switch it to in cabin circulation.

    Coming from a 2017 Tundra the 2022 feels it gets the cabin much colder.

    For those that say its ice cold mind getting a temperature reading out the vents with what the ambient outside temp is?

    Do you use ECO mode because if you do, the HVAC is put into ECO mode too and makes it blow weakly and not as cold.

    An overcharged AC system will make it blow warmer air than it should. If it was me I’d take it to the dealer and have them evacuate the system and recharge it and I bet it blows ice cold…

    Mine gets plenty cold. I do have to close the pano shade or else it won't cool down very well. I plan on getting tint done to help that. The AC doesn't seem any better or worse than the '18 Limited CM that I sold.
