Front footwell issue. Very cold even with heat on max.

Anyone else have this issue where the footwell area stays cold and drafty. I can feel the heat coming out of the vents, albeit very weak, and it is warm but still my feet stay cold even for longish drives. This is my first 4Runner so I’m wondering if this is a common 4Runner thing or if there is some issue that I may have.

So I have driven some toyotas and have a subaru. The a/c on newer toyotas is not very strong compared to my old subaru.

You can either click the "air circulation button" and increase the fan speed to make the cabin heat up faster. This circulates the air inside and heats it up faster rather than bringing in the cold air in

Anytime you defrost your windshield it pulls some air from the outside which might be the result of the draft you feel.

Either way you can take it to the dealer and let them know... its free for now until your defect warrant expires.
