    No regrets at all. Wish it was a pro 4tunner . I love the fact that the color was only available in 18(pro) and 19. It was discontinued for 2020. It’ll be a unicorn unlike every other white, black, silver and cement Taco. Happy I got CB. Wife talked me out of the Cement. 2nd best decision next to tricking her to marry me.

    Same here. I first wanted quicksand... then cement. Then, I saw the hundreds of those on the road every day here in CO. I always wanted black. But, there were no blacks coming in last month at all and they had no idea when any 2019 blacks would come in anywhere here in CO. Also, I know how hard it is to keep black looking good. So, I decided on the color I see least, cav blue. I love it. Granted, I have had it 1 month. But, I it snowed here yesterday. I drove it all over and it is in the garage now looking great. I have not washed it at all in that 1 month of ownership.

    Small sample size there, but I love the fact there are so few on the road, I hate being like other people. Plus, it is now a discontinued color - even better reason to get it.

    This is not mine, but here is a dirty cav blue. Love it. This was my screen saver for 2 weeks before I pulled the trigger... grew on me quick.

    I'm probably in the minority here - when I bought mine - I shopped around on the phone/internet (USAA Car Buying App). I had a few requirements (if I bought new): 1. Off Road model (we own a horse farm on a river and I'm often in the mud and driving along property trails - thought the OR was better suited, and I did not like th scoop) 2. No leather 3. ANY COLOR BUT BLACK. 4. 4 doors. 5. Automatic My wife and I drove to one of the 2 dealerships I had made prelim deals with. I had previously visited dealerships and did extensive test drives. The sales person showed me several trucks - all OR models without leather...the ones I liked best were, Silver, Sand and White all had sticker prices within 200-300 bucks...they had 3 Cav Blue ones - same sticker price as the others...I bought one of those as it was the best deal. I texted my wife - told her I was going to pay for it and to watch for it to be pulled around front. We were out of there in under an hour (from the time we drove up to the dealership door to me driving off in the new truck). When they pulled the truck up front - SHE LAUGHED OUT LOUD (she later told me). I've probably had 30-40 cars...90% of them silver or white in color, she was shocked. I must say I actually LIKE this color, a lot!! It is not a color I would have chosen, and had I bought tan, white or silver I'd be fine as it is just a truck and those colors are great...but it does not show dirt badly (I do hose it off often though), looks different in different light, and it is DIFFERENT. I love the color!!

    Cement and Calvary Blue were my top choice colors when I was looking for my Pro. Unfortunately couldn't find a Calvary with a manual remotely close and I liked the added features for 2018.

    It doesn't particularly show dirt (like black does), but it looks much nicer when it is shiny and clean. My truck sits out in the driveway and I wash it about every other week and wax as needed (I have been using a carnuba based wax, but I will probably switch to a polymer next time).

    My last 2 Tacomas were both silver and you could go along time not washing and they still looked good. I’ve had my Cav Blue for a month now and seems to not show dirt either. I’m very happy and even more so knowing they are not offering the color in 2020’s.

    Went from a white taco to cav tundra. Absolutely love it. I feel like white allowed a great variety of contrasting colors for wheels and decals etc. And the cav really only lends itself to black being the best contrast.
