    Congrats! I've been considering the same move. Currently have a super white 18 but eyeing the 21s.

    Color match or SR black ones? I swapped to the black ones, but color matching seems more popular. Or dipping them I guess.

    I swapped to black, too.
    Silver looks really nice w the matte black fender flares and bumper, IMO!

    Is the 2021 have a more quiet ride than the 2018? As far as interior cabin noise, road noise, etc.

    Being that the truck had only been on the ground since last Friday, they peeled off really easily. Right side came off literally is one pull, left came off in pieces.

    This one has the colored bumper, but to be honest, I’m not even sure what packages it has. It happened really fast and I wasn’t really fully prepared. I was at work, a conversation presented itself with the sales manager about desperately needing trade ins because of no inventory. Told him about my 2018 and the next day I was driving this one home.

    My 2018 had become pretty noisy inside. Mostly from the drivers door panel around the window switch controller. This one is dead quite, but give it time. I’m sure it will start to rattle somewhere.

    Amazing how much just changing the wheels to all black regardless of the actual wheel you use improves the appearance of the truck. I do love those TRD wheels though! I'm toying with painting my stock OR wheels black as I really don't want to spend money on the TRD wheels. I'm just hesitant as I don't know how well the paint will hold up and I don't want to have to re-do it every 2 years.

    Silver was not my first choice either, but it has really grown on me! Sweet looking truck. I actually like the new grills a lot!

    And it seems more on the gray side to me. Maybe it’s all the black trim. Great color though.

    Looks good! I had a similar experience, I wanted a black TRD OR DCLB, but ended up with a silver and I’ve come to really like it. It’s a 2020 but by the looks of it the inventory hasn’t improved since September when I got it.

    What else do you have planned for the truck?

    Not too much. I didn’t have a goal to make mine look different than the rest, but I don’t see too many silvers out there with black rims with the stickers removed and I love it. I’ve always loved these wheels and i always went back and forth on pulling the stickers from my 2018 and never did. Even the other day about the stickers I was saying “I don’t know...” dear god it’s a sticker! Rip that s@#& off! Over the last year or so, I’ve made the decision to stop obsessing over things that I want to do put never actually do, and just doing. It’s way more satisfying.

    only other plan right now is black badges. THE ONLY thing I don’t like about the overlays is the hole in the As is solid and to me looks like someone forgot to punch it out.
