  1. xxstewart--the smell is coming from the GX wheel wells. No, I'm not a left-footer, and I haven't really done any long downhills with the trailer. As for the rims, I didn't think to touch those.
  2. Greetings all! Okay, we tow a 23' travel trailer with our '06 GX470, trailer weighs in around 4K lbs., we use a W/D hitch with anti-sway (Equalizer brand). Tows great, no problems except--after we tow, and as soon as we pull into the campground we notice a "burning" smell that seems to come from the wheel wells. It goes away quickly after a couple of minutes. We also tow with a Prodigy brake controller for the electric brakes on the trailer. The car has about 95K miles on it, I had the 90K big service done at around 87K and keep the oil changed. The transmission fluid has never been changed (mechanic said not to due to the "sealed" system). Should I go ahead and get the fluid changed? The car has only been used for towing for about 10K miles, before that it was just a family sedan. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
