    I purchased my '13 tundra back in July and the AC has always seemed a bit weak. Order a wix cabin filter via Amazon and changed it out today. Maybe this will help with the cooling some ;)

    So, if you haven't changed your cabin filter, might be something to consider. Looks like mine hasn't been touched in years...

    I changed mine out a couple of weeks ago. (This was the first time that I have done that since I've owned the truck, which has been less than 1 year). Needless to say, I'll be checking it a lot more often. LOL And yes, it was quite the improvement to the HVAC airflow in the cabin.

    We need a special thread to post worst looking cabin air filters. Maybe a contest. The winner gets a new reusable K&N cabin filter paid for by @Bob........ :anonymous:

    The picture I posted was the nasty filter I removed from my mom's Tacoma... rodents were setting up house, and my mom was complaining about air flow and an odor.

    The one I removed from my 2007 appeared to have been the original filter and it looked like Thumper's, but it had whole acorns, feathers, hay, layers of clay & gravel dust. The filter was almost impossible to remove, and I had to also drop the fan to clean out what fell into it as I pulled the filter free. There was no evidence of rodents living on my filter.
