I have noticed unlike some vehicles I've had, the fan cycles on and off with the compressor. Other vehicles I've had, if the AC is on, the fan stays on.

I’m getting a AC belt squeak with first start of the day. The SC humidity has kicked in so the morning squeak has been consistent from day to day. Will still have dealer check it out at first oil change.

Did the dealer check it out? If so, what did they say? Having the same issue

Completely normal, search around on the forums here and you'll find quite a few of these threads.

Its normal. Every vehicle has the fan running when the AC is on to cool the refrigerant in the condenser. Toyota seems to have theirs cycle on and off with the compressor and the truck has a bigger fan so it's a bit louder/more noticeable. Nothing to worry about though.
