Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The exhaust smell from the truck has a horrific and sickening smell. i have not been driving the vehicle due to this issue. it has made me sick to my stomach at times and my wife and kids can not stand the continuous smell either. i am very upset with this and would like a refund of my purchase price. toyota sent out a tsb regarding the smell saying it was the gasoline (poor) that people use. wrong! i use amoco and texaco only. *ak
