I like the paint color, but I am not a fan of the darker wheels.

This is what kills me right here. It was cool when it was on a 911/RS6/etc. but when it started coming out on GMC Terrains and Chrysler Pacificas they lost me.

My wife wanted to get that color. I hate it and think it looks like JB Weld. Since I was paying I won that one, but I know I'm in the minority on the opinion.

It goes with the muted pastel color palette that has been popular for a while now.

looks like primer to me but it probably varies per vehicle. Like white looks completely washed out on some platforms but looks really good on others.

Seems every vehicle these days is some shade of silver/grey/black/tan and it sucks


I miss when cars had more unique colors

Yeah that stark work truck white still sells somehow - I don't really get it

The slightly off white/pearl/whatever looks great though.

Toyota has a color called Moon Rock that looks pretty cool. It's like a green/grey mix.

Never really understood the appeal of the smaller trucks when they get the same fuel mileage
my 2016 Tundra got like 13 mpg in the city, maybe 15 highway. I guess they are making them more efficient now, the 2023 says it can get 18/24.

At the time I was doing too much highway driving so I downsized for a tacoma. (in that grey color which is called "cement" btw, matte tan is called "quicksand").
My 2018 Tacoma gets me about 20 city/24 highway so the switch was justified, imo.

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.
I'm able to pull/launch a 16' aluminum boat just fine. It has a towing mode that helps. Idk what else I would need a full size truck for, unless I'm pulling heavy utility trailers or a large bay boat.

The cement grey on the Tacoma is the best color they make IMO.

Lunar Rock. That's what my new Tundra is. I love it.
