    Googled/searched, can’t find an answer, so I turn to the experts.

    2018 Crewmax
    Smells bad, heard sloshing of liquids
    Rhino liner

    - Had a ton of mulch in back, noticed the liner was getting clogged up in seams, have cleared it out.

    - Heard sloshing under/behind the backseats, especially around turns

    - Cab will stink if truck not driven for a few days, then odor goes away after a few drives

    - Noticed some sporadic draining under back doors

    Idk if it’s a clogged line or what. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

    Someone left a window open during the rain? Rear window leak? A/Ç drain clogged up and water buildup in the evaporator? Does it drip under truck when a/c is running? Kids, wife, or someone else drove or borrowed it? Whatever it is, find out and get it dried up before further damages occur.

    No open windows etc. water is contained somewhere, has a moldy smell. Guess I need to figure out how to unclog a line? I’m sure there’s a thread on here somewhere.

    Poke something up into the drain holes at the bottom seams of each door.

    You may also have a clogged A/C condenser drain line. There’s a grommet in the floor pan of the truck directly above the transmission. Poke something up there to see if it starts draining.

    There's plastic plugs under the rockers, pull a few in the rear to see if any water drains out.

    Hey, I have that in my venza, but no smeel. I have lots of cedar trees on my property, so all those organic thingies get into crevices and eventually clog up drains inside doors. After rain, I hear sloshing in my doors, but no stink.

    What I do is I peel back rubber liner on the bottom of the door. There are weep holes, so I wash them with a hose and then sloshing is gone.:hattip:it's a continuous bottle because trees don't go away.

    Thanks all for the suggestions! Ended up being a bunch of clogged mulch in the gap between the bed and cab (stepside?). Got in there with the hose and cleared it out, sloshing gone, odor gone.

    PSA mind the gap!
