But on sunny days, I have to lower the AC temp to low 60s to combat the constant dashboard heat and achieve the same ambient cabin temp.
SE heat and humidity can be brutal. I was loading a UHaul trailer once in July...at 1pm in the afternoon...in Orlando, FL...I nearly DIED! While I'm very happy with my X5 AC here in the Pacific NW I'm not sure how well it would work down your way.
