    I’m debating on buying a 2019 trd pro tacoma. It is white but I am unsure if it is super white. The vin also starts with 5 which means it was made in texas (Idk if this makes a difference). Does the paint also peel on these tacoma’s? Haven’t seen many post about the 2019 trd pro white paint peeling. I DONT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE TITLE OF MY POST, BUT MY QUESTION IS DOES ALL WHITE PAINT ON TACOMAS PEEL. I would hate to buy the 2019 trd pro and have the paint peel later on.

    A friend has a 2018 OR with 38k miles and it’s peeling. No way I would buy a white Tacoma 3rd Gen

    Toyota has issued a Warranty Enhancement on Super White paint on the Tacoma's. It set to start soon. It covers affected panels that are peeling. They have the same enhancement on Camry, Corolla, and Highlanders.

    Maybe GMC hasn't forgotten what was probably the worst paint peeling epidemic in automotive history. After all, they produced it. :rofl:

    I own a 2020 Tacoma and a 2020 Camry both white with around 50k miles on each of them and have no issues with the paint. I guess it could start coming off anytime but so far they are fine.

    My 09 with 99k that I bought new started peeling after about 5 years I’d say, I thought at first maybe it was the sun that caused it but it’s even peeling under the hood

    2017, poor girl sits out in the sun all day no garage and so far, all good on my white paint. I'd say the vast majority have no problems with flaking or peeling as I think white is the most popular color. :notsure:
