Hey guys,

first time 4Runner owner. My wife and I just bought our 25 SR 5 this past weekend. We have owned a RAV4 and a Tacoma in the past.

With our 4Runner we have noticed a distinct chemical smell when we arrive in our garage after a drive. Doesn’t exactly smell like oil burning. We have 68 miles on the vehicle.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long it lasted?

Thanks,
Paul

interior off gasing of plastics will linger a while longer than exterior smells.

this is more pre-dominant on the lower trims with more plastics
