Hot Trunk

Has anybody else experienced a really warm trunk area? After driving for about 30-45min, the spare tire area and carpet are very warm to the touch.

I've noticed the same thing! My trunk is always hot after driving for a bit. I thought it was just b/c of where I lived.

Strange, never felt the floor of my trunk after a drive to see how warm it was? Do you have amps on the floor of your trunk which may be causing all of the heat?

its nothin to worry about... its just the exhaust system, they tend to get a lil hot! And you'll definatly feel heat from under the car, especially when the fan is running. Its all normal, especially when you rev it up a lot.
