The 'chemical' smell in my Lariat was pretty strong when I took delivery and while it didn't cause me any breathing problems, it did give me a bit of a headache. My wife didn't really notice it, but we definitely have different sensitivity to various smells. So I suspect it depends on the person...

I left the windows open a crack when it was parked outside a few times and it improved quickly. I assume it was just VOC's outgassing from the various synthetic materials inside.

Thanks folks. She is still out in the garage with the windows open. The smell has dissipated at least 50% already maybe more.
