Default AC in 2016

Anybody else feel like the AC's in the 2016's aren't as powerful? Or maybe the truck isn't as well insulated as trucks in the past? Could it be an aluminum related issue?
My XLT sport is either hot or cold no in between. Just got my windows tinted to try to help keep the heat out of this truck. Plus it looks good too.
Just curious if anyone else thought this.
My 2010 was much more comfortable.

Mine is just as good as previous years. And I'm in Dallas with 100 degree temps.

I must have a good one ... my AC's better than on any vehicle I've ever had. Cold, fast, holds a temp well ... even in steamy St. Louis summer heat with a pano roof. Maybe your dealer can check your compressor's output.

My AC seems to be more powerful than my 2013 was.

My A/C is also great. No problems whatsoever. Definitely miles better than my Silverado work truck. Cools the cab down in half the time.

A/C works a lot better in my 16 XLT Sport than it did in my 05. Wife continually asks me to turn it down when it's over 100 cause it makes her face cold.

It's not uncommon for an AC that needs to be tweaked. Your refrigerant could be low or even too high coming from the factory. It's also possible to get a thermostat that doesn't operate correctly.

I'd def. make an appt. and take it in and have it checked.

No problems with mine in Florida. Hit a 100 yesterday. That's even a bit too warm for me.

I have had an 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and now a 2016. This 16 is the best a/c of all. It gets cold super quick, I live in Bama so it's hot!!

No comments on how many trucks I've had! I'm keeping this one.....lol
