I live in Orlando and my 2022 RL is adequate but not overwhelming; my Tundra was the same but my Durango is better. I'm OK with it for now. Put a thermometer in the main vent with the A/C running full blast and note the temp. Most car A/Cs try to hit a 25 degree max difference between interior temps and outside ambient temps - so if its 95 outside that may mean its 70 or more inside, optimally; if its 100 then inside might be 75 - again, best case. If actual nozzle temps are between 41 and 48 degrees its usually considered normal.
I had a tint stripe put across the top of the windshield and vent shades on the side windows and may consider darker tint on front windows, I know that helped on the Tundra. If you jump in the car after its sat outside for a time you have a few tricks that will help. Hitting and holding the key fob unlock button will open all four windows and the sunroof remotely allowing hot air out and then using the remote start key fob option will start the car and get the A/C cranking.. I don't thnk you can combine those features as a running car with the windows down is prob not permitted vis a vis theft....but I've never tried it.
Still some don't feel that's cold enough (like my post menopoausal, beloved wife - who may read this)
