    I still wish Cavalry Blue was available when I bought my truck.

    Had the Pro had the moonroof that year I’d have traded in a heartbeat.

    I like cement a lot... but if I pissed oil and shit gold I'd be driving to repaint it Cavalry Blue before doing anything else.

    That, or Spruce Green Mica, but I think Cavalry Blue edges it out.

    Doesnt matter much, but would be nice if they laid down 3 coats of color and 3-4 clear. I love Toyotas, but their paint jobs are pathetic.

    Cavalry Blue. I coulda/shoulda been patient when I made my purchase 2019. Really like Barcelona Red too. Blue Crush has me intrigued as well.

    I want the fire engine red like I had on my old 1999 Tacoma. Don't like the current Barfalona red.

    Toyota doesn't have anything on the European makes when it comes to colors.

    Audi's Sepang Blue, Ultra Blue, Tactical Green, Kyalami Green..
    BMW's San Remo Green, Phytonic Blue, Manhattan Green, Dravit Grey, Adventurin Red, British Racing Green, Sepang Bronze...
    Porsche's Adventurine Green, Chalk, Carrera White, Dolomite Silver, Copper Ruby, Volcano Grey, Papaya...

    Not to mention the quality of the European paint is leaps and bounds ahead.

    And... let's not forget that you can actually order any of those cars from the manufacturer in any of those colors, and the manufacturer will actually make you exactly what you want in the exact color. If you've got money to burn, there are literally thousands of custom colors those marques will paint your car, including "paint to sample" meaning many are available in any color you dream up, so long as it doesn't violate copyright.

    So yeah- you could build me a Tacoma in any of the above colors and I'd be pretty excited about it.

    Not necessarily my dream color but would like to see a Taco trim with Silver Spruce (6M3) with the same blueish gray quality leather interior used in the '93 SC300. Hell.. throw in the same 2JZ-motor and I'll pay $$$$ extra.

    The one below has the rare W58 manual transmission.

    If Inferno had been available in 2021, I would have purchased it. I need to see Octane closely before I judge it.

    A new red is long overdue.

    A color that doesn't peel off and a company that stands behind their product! I'm really disappointed that both dealers within 30 miles and Toyota USA won't stand behind their paint job. Having owned five Toyota's and a 1,000,000 plus miles of loyalty, I expected better when the paint on my 2017 Tacoma started coming off ... really have to rethink my next vehicle purchase.
