More details to this question:
However we had some concerns, the previous owners were smokers and we let the dealership know that was an issue for us. They offered to clean the carpets, bomb the vehicle to get some of the smell out the couldn't guarantee all the smell to come out. Since we were trading in a vehicle, they allowed us a rental car. So we are suppose to go in today to pick up the truck, however we are having second thoughts about the vehicle. The only issue is that we have already gave $2K down and have signed paper work. being that we have not taken the car off the lot and it is still within 24 hrs can I back out of this deal? :( We have a 2 yr old and a new baby due in July and I would hate to have them in this vehicle.

Buyers remorse is not a basis to back out of a signed contract. Those are all considerations that should have been addressed BEFORE you bought the vehicle and certainly before you inconvenineced the dealer with rental car charges, trying to get the smoke smell out, etc. You can try to negotiate the issue with the dealer but prepare for them to refuse or claim you down payment forfeit.
