Hey, I have about 5000km on my TRD Sports 6M. Now and then, I get a different smell throughout the cabin, I have smelt it few times, but it seems I smell it most if I hit the accelerator hard for a second. Can anyone tell me what this could be and if it's a concern, is it just something getting broken in? Seems weird since I am at 5000km but I also have never had a truck before. I can't describe the scent and I can't really bring it to the garage because it's not easy to replicate, it's only now and then that I smell it.

I had experienced same thing sometime going up hill it smells somthing bad . But then i realized that if i turn off outside ventilation or if am the only one going on road there is no smell . So it was from other older vehicles going up accelerating hard

Have you been eating anything different when it happens?
