    What is the deal with white paint? I see so many white vehicles with peeling paint.

    Has any one hear anything? This is getting a little ridiculous. Mines getting worse as time goes on.

    I think there are a lot of people on this thread who missed the news that Toyota has added 3rd gens to the super white paint campaign where they will repaint affected portions of the vehicle. You can google it or go back and find it in the thread. Been a while since that happened.

    Reading that latest update, it looks like the recall stops at the 2022 model year. I guess I'll let you guys know in a couple of years if the 2023's start falling apart!

    I am not sure. My 2005 Tacoma was sold to me as "Super White". My wife's 2023 4Runner was sold as "Super White", but my 2023 Tacoma was sold as "Ice Cap". All are 040 paint codes on the sticker inside of the driver's door pillar.

    That’s so interesting. It’s probably just as you said, so these trucks don’t have the baggage associated with super white.
