I have noticed when on full heat (engine warm) the highest fan motor speed barely blows out of the front ducts. Back is not on and vents are set for full front. When on high with the air it blows hard. It seems to warm up ok inside but you have to hold your hand on the vent to feel the air. I've heard other later model Toyotas are similar. Coming from a 2013 Tacoma its a vast difference. Maybe it's a feature not a bug.

Are you on eco mode?

No, not on eco mode. I have noticed playing around with it that the vents blow slightly more when I have it on front vent AND floor. This makes no sense but there it is.
 
Update. After some messing around with controls it seems when I turn OFF the 'direct airflow only to the front' using the infotainment screen it increases the front vent flow to a normal level. This is counterintuitive and may be a programming bug but a least I know the culprit.

Had the same issue, you are right…it’s totally counterintuitive
