Air conditioner
I have 05 rx 330 with 155K miles. Radiator and supplies were replaced 2 years ago. I’m wondering if anyone would have experience running their older 330 in 90-100 degree weather for 13 hours. I am facing a trip tomorrow and am getting nervous. Would the older condenser be reliable?

You should be fine. Radiators are a plastic/metal hybrid that do not have the durability that the all metal condenser and evaporator coils of the a/c system have. Living in the south with 100º + temps, we don't think twice about it.
Just make sure the radiator and heater hoses are good, meaning firm, not soft and mushy.

Thank you for your response. You put my mind at ease for this trip.
