    Looking for best options for TRD Sport Tacoma 2012 idle cooling. Have a couple of young ones that ride with me that I'd like to keep cool in the summer months while sitting at idle. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

    Air conditioning set to max and on recirc?

    A quality (ceramic) tint on the windows helps too.

    Yes it is wide open.. set to max... 90+ degree days here in NC. Idle cooling is minimal at best. Does fine while driving. Assuming I need some sort of electrical auxillary fan to help supplement?

    Tent helps a lot.
    General rule is that for every degree OVER 90 is equivalent to a 10% LOSS of A/C efficiency.

    I don’t know anyone personally that’s went with an Electric Fan.
    I honestly don’t think it would help that much, but I don’t know?
