Last couple trucks I've owned had AC...I almost never use it, even when it's "dangerously" hot, lol...usually only on a longish trip to get bait and I want to listen to the radio, grin

How many here use it ?, occasionally?, all the time?, turn it up, or cold as it gets?...

I only ride with the windows down in my 67 GTO..and it has factory AC..but needs a little work.

My truck has the AC on ..all the time ..to a comfortable setting.

I didn't work all my life ...to suffah now.

Over 85 the AC comes on. I like the windows down when I drive.

I use it all the time.
above about 30mph I like the windows up

set a nice comfortable temp ,windows up nice music on , don't listen to the radio much , put a play list on and drive sometimes audio books

if someone is with me have a conversation

I often take phone calls while driving in the truck they come right over the speakers in the truck.

I like using the AC when it gets somewhere in the eighties. Yesterday, I had to order a compressor for the air conditioner for one of the Ford Rangers. Hopefully it gets here quick.

90°+ for a few weeks now with dewpoints in the high 60°s to mid 70°s

I now started using A/C

Just in the living room.


If cars still had the little triangle windows, AC wouldn't be used as much in vechiles
My old vans also had hugh floor vents you could manually pull on. I miss both those features

I don't usually use mine but when I have outside jobs in the heat it sure is nice to cool down on the way home.

I got all the vents in my work trucks pointing right at me and crank it to max cool with the fan on high. After about ten minutes I have to turn it down or risk frostbite! LOL


Eh...wot?

LOL, funny how we forget some of those things....

I have air in the house now, so I can cool down when I get home, I just don't care to get in the hot, cool, repeat , every time i'm in and out of the truck...plus the heat doesn't really bother me...must be like my grandfather...he'd be in the sun for hours, never drink a drop of anything and he lived to 92....guy was like a lizard, lol

Mine is on all the time. I sweat when I'm working outside but see no reason to sweat in the truck when I don't have to.
