    Relatively new to the site with a 2021 tacoma OF.

    Are these gens (or all Tacomas?) known for having terrible air conditioning or low fan power? I sold my 2000 4runner that blew you away with how strong the fan was and how cold the AC was. My new tacoma... not so much. Fan sucks and doesnt get as cold as my 4runner. Is this normal?

    I test drove two separate Tacomas but never really tested the AC because I didnt even think to living in a colder climate.

    I have a dog and i didnt even realize there was no back seat vents... how is that possible? The combo of the terrible AC and no back seat vents leaves him dying if the window is closed.

    My truck will hold about 34* on the freeway with plenty of fan power. Check cabin air filter and blower motor for debris.

    Mine does great. After baking in 105 degree heat all day it takes roughly 10-12 minutes of driving to get it back down to a comfortable cabin temp, mid 70's or so. That's on par with any other vehicle I've owned.

    Yeah no rear vents. I’ve got an access cab so the back windows don’t even open. But my dogs are fine; the AC is super cold.

    Maybe stick a thermometer down the vent and measure a temp?

    Um, test drive next vehicle please. Why you complaining here? We cannot add rear vents. Everyone has different opinion on temperature. Good luck.

    I'm in Arizona too where summer temps easily hit 100 by 9:00 a.m. and 110+ in the afternoon. I set mine to 74 degrees and the fan
    speed on the number 1 setting. I may bump it up to the #2 or #3 setting for a bit but it pretty quick gets set back to #1. Then again
    I set my house temp to 79 and only drop it to a freezing 77 at around 10:00 pm for sleeping.

    I live in south Florida and never use MAX A/C. I don’t need to… I have a white truck and always use windshield shade..

    I have vents under the front seats that blow in the back, but have to turn knob to add foot vents up-front.
    As far as temp, mine will freeze people out
