AT 30,000 MILES I TOW A SMALL LAWN MOWER TRAILER FOR FIRST TIME AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING OIL THE WHOLE WAY UP AND BACK,96 MILES AWAY. FOUND NO LEAKES BUT CHANGE BURNT SMELLING TRANS FLUID ANY WAY. NOW AT 34,000 MILES ON IT I HEAR LOWD NOISE IN REAR OF CAB AREA LIKE ITS MY REAR END.I CHECK OIL AND ITS LOW 1 3/4 PINTS GEAR OIL WITH NO PINION OR AXEL SEAL LEAKS.

Toyota Corporate Customer Service claims the howling noise from the rear differential is by design and that they will not fix it. Toyota refuses to acknowledge that this is a problem and has provided no resolution.
