    It's helpful so that anyone in the back seat is being a dick, you activate it and they get zero heat/AC.

    I’ve never understood those tiny windows. I had one in my 90 22RE and I could fit through it at 16. I am claustrophobic so having that rear window roll down and the pano roof is life changing. When I get into a rental with no roof my anxiety grows and makes being in the car horrible. No joke- pano roof, rear window, rear under seat storage and leather were the three main factors when I purchased this truck. Fringe was rear charging ports (which are very close to the front seat too), rear heated and cooled, front heated wheel and 6.5’ bed.

    My first vehicle with auto setting was a 95. From all those vehicles owned with auto (14 in total) this is by far the weakest blower I have ever seen. If I set any of the other 13 on 67 on a 90 degree day I could feel the air flow on my face. This one feel an anemic air flow when I hold my hand up to the vent.

    My #1 complaint with the vehicle.

    I use "Auto" all the time. When I get in the truck and the interior is "hot" (95+ degrees), the fan speed is exceptionally high. As I drive and the interior temp drops, the fan speed drops accordingly. When it reaches the temp setting I have set (usually 70) then the fan speeds drops to a minimal setting sufficient to maintain the temp I've selected. The fan speed will then vary (ramp up or down) as necessary depending on the degree of heating from sunlight hitting the cabin. If you want a constant speed of airflow coming from the vents, then selct the fan speed you desire and don't use Auto.

    I have yet feel a full force air flow in any situation or setting. The vehicle can have sat in the sun in the middle of summer for hours; turn it on it blows more softly than any I have ever had.

    My wife complains constantly about it. Her Nissan freezes you out at 70. More than the Tundra on 65.

    @Fatone--ThenI suggest you take it to the dealer and have them remedy the issue. What you describe is not "normal" operation. YOu definitely should be able to vary the fan speed manually from the high to low ranges. On high, I can feel the air from the front vents while sitting in the back seats. The "Auto" setting has those same ranges of fan speeds.

    I've been driving a 2016 Tundra while my Blueprint 24 comes in. (Wait what?) @hagrid @pwpblue @Mattedfred

    It 100% gets INCREDIBLY cold while my '22 did (wait...what?) not. I mean, within 10 minutes of driving it is a legitimate ice box.

    Obvious spam post.

    At this point, no one is doubling down on the V35 "bearing eater".

    I tried the AUTO button yesterday and was impressed and put out way more cold air.
