Strong / Bad ‘New Car Smell’; Toxic?
 
After test driving a handful of trucks, I’ve noticed there’s a really strong, bad smelling ‘new car smell’ in these Colorado’s.

Isn’t this the glue, epoxy, adhesives they use, which if you were to purchase for home use, the label would say toxic fumes / use in well ventilated area?

Do these trucks have a very strong smell across the board?

Has this bothered anyone else upon delivery?

What can I do to speed up the process of getting rid of it upon delivery, besides driving with the windows down?

Unfortunately, somewhat nauseating.

Thanks.

If it was summer then the heat would help dry any of this stuff. Have a heated garage to store it in?Never bother me too much. Be glad you are not breathing Roundup. Guy won 85 million in a lawsuit over R-U causing cancer. I always knew that stuff wasn't as benign as monsanto said it was. Back to the vehicle, I'd just crack the windows down until it goes away.
