I don't particularly like that feature, as it takes far longer to cool down the cabin on a sunny summer day than cooling down fresh air, as it's seldom above 105 where I live (highest recorded temperature 108) but the cabin far hotter if the truck has been parked in the sun; I live in a dry climate also. This vehicle is the first one I've ever owned where default is recirculate when activating the AC system. Annoying, yes, but I've learned to just live with it.

No, it isn't about the A/C, it is about choosing to recirculate the air (warm or cold). In my 2020 4Runner when I activate the recycling the amber light comes on. If I turn off the engine and turn it back on it will revert to being off (not recycling).
