    That’s just the rubber gassing out toxic chemicals from the manufacturing process. I had a similar mat in my 2010 sierra and I washed it a few times to get the stink out.

    No money, all went to truck...
    they all stink.

    Best to leave it in direct sun. UV help with offgassing.

    Heck my tacoma bed mat still stinks rubber after 3 years under my tonneau cover. It gets worse when the truck is out in the hot sun.

    It's a garage, they're supposed to stink and smell like everything else in there.
    I hope you don't smoke...cuz that's a really nasty stink that gets into everything. Rubber smell will go away, not the other.

    LOL, I know that smell. I bought a half dozen rubber mallets from the 99 Cent Store (because -- 99 cents!) and they smell like the factory burned down. Cheap shit is cheap. Double-edged sword.

    I put a BedRug in my truck, easier for sliding tools in and out.
    I was thinking $80 or so.
