    I like black vehicles. Have an 18 limited black of course.Should I do the wheels,bezels.name plates,mirrors,etc,etc,etc in black? Saw a GMC black today. Yep ALL black from the factory. Looks rich and custom. GM used to have a lot of people that carried white canes on their design team. Obviously some of them got jobs at Toyota. DEAR TOYOTA: We love the reliability,engineering and resale of your vehicles. Please hire some people with a sense of aesthetics to do the colors and trim combinations. GTS Bruce

    BTW chrome comes in colors if you must have it. Maybe hire a consultant from PininFarina or possibly myself which would be much cheaper. Love Italian style and yes I have a PininFarina design car. The problem is that in Japan and some other places you view a car when standing practically right up against the car or object. Need someone from a place with space and a sense of style to smooth out the view from a distance which is how we view them in the US

    I love my Taco, but I wish I had denali interior. Hell, even the 4Runner interior. It's pretty expensive for so many plastic parts that scratch easily.

    Do you also realize you bought a mass produced mid-sized truck, not a coachwork luxury car?

    I bought a limited for all the other creature comfort stuff and tolerate the unnecessary use of garish chrome. Then again I could have gotten a silver truck and the chrome wouldn't stab you in the eye as much.......

    I'm curious why you bought the Limited? I wanted leather seats BADLY (factory, not aftermarket covers) and even though at the time, the Limited trim would have been my only option for said leather interior, I had to pass because of all that chrome.
