Well funny you should mention if it's necessary or not because the pickups don't have one, only the 4runners (here) have them. I guess it's because the 4runners have a lot more interior space to cool and the AC works harder. If your AC works good enough for you without it go for it. You could always try disconnecting the wire first and try it on a hot day in December and see if it works good enough for you. Is it hot in the land of Kiwis now?

Nah, it is barely +15C (spring here). And you don't usually get more than +27C anyway unless you go to the mountains where is can be +35C and thin air...So I think electric fan mod would work great here..
