    Looks like the Silver Streak Mica color from previous years is no longer available for 2014. It was replaced by the Silver Sky Metallic. Looks to be a little darker shade. Has another here purchased a 2014 in this color that they have pictures they can post? My local dealership does not have any in stock yet.

    The Silver Streak Mica was very popular for so long. What does everyone think of the new color?

    I had an 06 Tundra silver sky metallic.
    I think Toyota used it on both 1GEN & 2GEN tundras.
    www.toyotareference shows all the paint codes through the years.
    It was a great color on my 06 yes a little darker haven't seen one on the lots yet. Maybe someone here has scooped one up!

    Thanks Simon's Mom,

    So no one has pictures of this new color or thoughts about it. Debating if I should purchase this new color. I guess I'll have to wait until I can see in person

    It's noticeably darker and much nicer looking than the previous silver. I like it a lot.

    I'm glad they used the same alliteration, so that differentiating between two SSMs is impossible unless you spell it out entirely.

    Awesome....thanks guys! I love my silver streak mica but thinking of trading in my 2011 TRD OR DCSB and picking up a TRD sport in this new silver sky. I think I will like the darker shade. Does it have any metal flake like the silver streak mica?

    Thanks G40RCE! Color looks great! I think this is the color I'll be ordering!

    Love the tinted windows with this color as well.

    I know the feeling. What % tint did you put on the front windows. I think I did 20% on my current Tacoma to match the back windows.

    Traded in my 2010 TRD Sport 4x4 SSM for a 2014 TRD Sport 4x4 SSM about two weeks ago. This is my third Tacoma. Love these trucks. Here's a face-to-face shot, you can see the new color is definitely darker.
