New Tundra Owner 2021 TRD Pro Super White

Upgraded from an 2017 Tacoma to a used 2021 Tundra TRD Pro - first impressions have been awesome, the V8 is incredible, she is sexy and the interior is a massive upgrade. Overall I love this truck so far..

I found it used with under 30K miles and the only real problem I have it right now is the last owner must have been a smoker, there is a very noticeable cigarette smell when you first get in. (The dealership I bought it from did a good job of covering up the smell when I test drove it.. ) Anyway I have an appt Tuesday with a detail guy that is confident he can get rid of it.. fingers crossed...

Also, the passenger side Tundra emblem was removed for some reason and I want to re-install it. Anyone have experience with this? I'm guessing just buy some double sided 3M tape?

I want to add a subtle lift and run 295/70/18. With my limited research, I think I want to use the Westcott preload collar lift kit in the front w/ the Coach Builder Shackle Kit in the back. Pretty much copying this video:

Please let me know what you guys think and I am open to any recommendations, Cheers!!

 

Congrats, looks nice.

Belated welcome from NY.

 

My tundra was like that too, I kept it in a garage with windows down for about a year, replaced the cabin filter with carbon one from Toyota and smell got away. Congrats!

 

Really glad to hear it went away!! Honestly it's been giving me anxiety. Thank you!

 

Thank you sir!

 

Congrats on the new ride, it looks great!!!

 

Yeah, don't be too upset, it will go away eventually, and it's just a character of the truck if anything!

 

Run an Ozone generator in the truck. It will eliminate the smell. Probably what the detailer is going to do

 

I bought a little green heat pro from Bisell to clean a RAV4 the dealership spilled an oil based air freshener in that left an overpowering odor throughout the vehicle. I almost pulled the seats and carpet this summer when I didn’t think I was making progress.

I replaced the cabin air filter, floor mats, cleaned all hard surfaces inside, and sprayed a/c vent cleaner through the a/c intake as well. It took a few months and several cleanings, but the smell is now (almost completely) gone.

Hopefully your detail guy can take care of it.

 

Ozone generator, few sessions and you good to go.

 

Thanks everyone for the reassurance!
