I'm also in the PNW and, in my opinion, we need rear A/C going to keep these trucks cool even on not-so-hot days. The huge amount of glass generates tremendous solar heat gain (even with the rears tinted). If your truck is dark in color it's even worse.
Also, it seems to me at least that it's pretty normal with many late-model vehicles for the A/C not to cool quite as well at idle. It takes some RPMs to get the compressor really going. We used to have a 2016 Explorer and when you first started it on a hot day, the A/C blew hot air out the vents until you put it in gear and started moving. The days of ice-cold A/C even while idling seem to be long gone. . .
