2016 Tacoma idle temp any help?

Hello i was at the drive thru the truck sat for at least 20 minutes idle with ac on the temp started to go up not sure if this is normal i check fluids everything is good

 

117°!?

Granted, I've never experienced a temperature above about 95°, but I'd think being stationary and only having the fan to push air through the radiator, the truck has an excuse to heat up a little.

 

It's 117 degrees outside. I'm fairly certain there's some laws of thermodynamics at work here...

 

I eat my steaks when the internal temp gets to 117° F.

 

Damn, you've got 90,000 miles on it already. With that much driving I'm pretty sure you could find a cooler environment to settle down in.

 

It's still in the normal range and with idling that long and the outside temperature so high it's to be expected just wondering if you have had any major problems with your taco ?

 

Where you live? I'm in Modesto California and it's supposed to be 111 tomorrow and the weekend.

 

At 117 degrees and 20 minutes idling with A/C going, I'd say it was probably just a matter of heat soak. Drive thru's can be really bad because the sun could be hitting that side of the building and really heating up the surrounding air too, creating a heat pocket. If you had a bad thermostat, water pump or clutch fan....at those temps the coolant would get into the red pretty quick. Bad thermostat on my old truck, I could sit for only 2-3 minutes in 80 degree weather and see it get near the red.

 

yes i drive 120 miles a day to work and back

 

i bought it brand new yes i was thinking about that

 

i live in riverside ca bro

 

hey never zero problems i had a 2003 sr5 with 600,000 miles same engine tranny same diff i never change the tran oil nor diff just oil change

 

Dude, you will be lucky if it is only 111 tomorrow!!

 

The First Law of Thermo explains the coolant temp lol.

 

That's good to have OP

 

Phew 111 lol. 115 here in Brentwood smh.

 

I think we might break 68 here today. Brutal.

 

42° on my way to work this morning. Supposed to be high 30s tonight.

 

Be like this all week from what I see.
