Looks good. I like it better than the military green and sand.

As long as they don't start slapping gunmetal wheels on everything I'm happy

you're accustomed to seeing colors with poly (tiny metal flake) that makes the color pop. the ones you show are without poly. they're still gloss, but without the added poly.

Im still looking to buy a nice power wagon but having a hard time getting over the big ribbon. I’m not a flashy guy. How hard is it to remove?

. Almost like putty. Wondered if that type had a special name.


Same, it's everywhere now and I do kind of like it. And obviously not just gray - lots of more muted green/blue/gray/tan. I'm not sure what to call it either, it has a fully saturated look and I don't know the name of whatever it is.

A lot of Hondas have it in a grayish blue, new Porsche too in that tan/brown.

I'm sure someone here knows about it and can explain.

It looks good on some vehicles and bad on others, the shading matters too, but now that every manufacture offers that color it's a bit overdone.


I saw it on a Chrysler Pacifica the other day and wasn't sure how I felt about it.



Toyota, Audi, and Porsche look good in it though.

tacoma grey is pretty slick.
Drove one as a loaner a few months ago. I was surprised at how much I liked it (the color anyway). The truck was fine, but basically the same gas consumption as my Tundra.

The 2021 Power Wagon is the 75th anniversary edition and at least some of them don't have the ribbon. Maybe all of them don't. A buddy of mine just bought one and it doesn't have the ribbon. Really nice truck. My next truck will be a 3/4 ton Ram, but the gas version has less towing capacity. Trying to decide how big of a deal this is to me personally. I don't need a 3/4 ton often, but occasionally I do. I'd hate to need it and not have the power.

Side bar…I saw a tundra trd pro at the Toyota center this weekend. That interior is insanely nice for a truck.

Never really understood the appeal of the smaller trucks when they get the same fuel mileage. I suppose some people just like parking a smaller vehicle if they don't use it as a truck often. I do use my truck as a truck pretty regularly though.

If you order it, I believe you can order the truck without the stripe.

I’ve been fishing for the right term for this and I think you’ve nailed it, so thank you

Personally, I like it. I’ve seen a couple cars like this in a very light blue that I like…look something like this:
