i got a new 4Runner trd sport premium. The new car smell and all the plastics are getting me dizzy every time i get on the car. Is this happening to more people out there?
any tips other than trying to ventilate the car and driving with the windows down?

The odors, if like my 4R when new, were from the oils and such from the turbo and exhaust systems. The odors come in from the air intakes by the base of the windshield. It gets better. In my case for the 4R, after maybe 600 miles the smell is gone. I'm at 1100 miles now and the stench is gone.

also the plastics off gas more if you let the vehicle sit out in the summer heat. if you can garage it, it helps.

It lasts about 800-1000 miles I had the same issue. It goes away just keep driving

I too have the TRD Sport Premium but have never had a noticeable smell. I live in FL and always have the windows up and the A/C on and my vehicle is always in a garage when not in use. The garage is very hot in summer however, but still no smell.
