    @matthewdswitzer You have a very new truck. It must be repaired under warranty. No matter what they say about a 'pebble hitting a condenser'... how would you know in the first place. Be persistent, because if that is my truck...I will try my very best to have this fixed under warranty. Good Luck.

    Drink water and suck it up, that's not even close to being that bad.

    115 degrees is insanely hot, any AC system would struggle to cool ambient air of 115 degrees!

    I’m not sure how it would be the dealers responsibility, or the manufacturers responsibility if your condenser was damaged by road debris. I feel that then giving you a heads up about that is probably a good thing.

    120 degree summers with no ac? Not to mention car interiors reach well over 200 in that heat. Aren't you chipper!

    Toyota should be kicked in the dick for not just making it a production change at this point. I researched the issue when I bought my 2018 thinking well maybe the 2019 would have it and nope. Instead they're still offering this half ass hacked together TSB.

    I mean Cletus could make something much better in is garage vs. hacking up a fan off a different car and ghetto rigging some wires

    I have a 2021 Tacoma and the AC went out too!! They couldn’t figure it out. And have been in a rental for 5 days. Still waiting to hear from them. Apparently, they took apart the engine.

    I literally read through the entire TSB. It isn't a hack job, albeit shouldn't be required. They should have built these trucks with dual radiator fans, to begin with. Hell, a base model V8 Silverado comes with them standard...
