How'd all this end up working out for you?

Haha, dude.... It's 100% ammonia. Like grab a bottle from the kitchen and take a sniff. That's the smell, and why it's so surprising. I've never experienced that before with a vehicle before. But these two Toyota products with the same engine spit it out sometimes.

Mine doesn't do it all the time, but when it does and I'm walking by the tailpipe, it's pretty strong. Normally on a cold start. I made the mistake of bending over and taking a sniff when I first got the truck, not knowing what was going on, and it almost knocked my on my ass. One time with...

The ammonia smell is coming from the exhaust. My gas only 4Runner does this sometimes. I also had a hybrid Tacoma for a short time and it did it as well.

Thank you!

Hello! First post here. Sorry for the long spiel that I have, but I have a few Tacoma/4Runner questions, and I’d greatly appreciate any feedback available. I have a 2024 Tacoma TRD off road hybrid I’m looking to trade in on a new 2025 4Runner. I really like this new gen, but the storage...
