Poll- Cavalry Blue: what do you think?

Even with the threat of revoking my man card, I like this color. IDK if I would ever buy it, but I do like it.

 

What i’d Like to see is someone buy one and paint the roof and the rocker panels bright red, with the custom license plate “papasmurf”. That would be cool.

 

I thought only woman bought cars/trucks based on color? Never seen a group so obsessed with looks on a truck.

 

Why would you think something as silly as that?

And you do realize you're on an enthusiast forum...right?

 

Last time I checked, black wheels don’t roll better than the stock polished, the hood scoop is non-functional, K02’s don’t give you better grip in downtown LA, and the pro grille does not increase airflow.

This crowd is most definitely obsessed with looks. And that’s OK. It’s part of the fun.

 

when I get my truck, my decisions will be about 95% based on looks. I have another vehicle for 4WD functionality and fun.

Edit to add: Just teasing.... there's a nice symmetry of your various uses of looks/looking while trying to macho it up.

 

I knew I saw that color somewhere before...

 

Don t like blue at all. Sorry !

 

It’s ok to be wrong...

 

I like the color, but wouldn't buy one. When it came to choosing a color for mine, I looked at other Tacoma's in various colors as they drove by, and for some odd reason, white seemed to be the most head turning for me. My wife said "it's going to look like a company work truck," and suggested MGM, but I stuck to my guns and bought white, which I never thought in a million years I would.

I'm always wary of going with colors that might wear on you after a bit, or fall out of favor which could impact value. To each their own I guess. Oddly enough, the color of my boat hull is Carolina Blue, which is frighteningly close to Cavalry Blue.

 

Don’t like it. I don’t hate it though. So my answer is, I don’t like it, I hope it stays exclusive to the pro.

 

Yeah, but on a boat that’s great! On a pro....uh pass

 

Well, I prefer...


Or maybe...

 

I think Toyota is on a bit of a retro binge with these colors. If you go back and look at the color chips from the late 60's FJ's, you will find examples of Sand, Cement, and Cavalry Blue, albeit under different names. I wouldn't be surprised if they roll out some sort of green in the next few years. These colors are a nod to the history of Toyota, and I like it.

 

As a guy that owns a 1969 Capri Blue FJ40 I like it too!

 

I think that asteroid grey would have looked better than cement

 

There’s a cement-like gray that Honda has on the new civics, a bit darker like that. Really nice.

 

That color definitely looks better on the FJ40 than on the Tacoma. I need to see this color first in person. I like the color, but undecided on a something like the Tacoma. If I was buying that FJ pictured, then no brainer for me on the blue.

Same with the Jeep color Chief. I think that color works on the Wranglers, even the longer 4drs, but I don't think a Grand Cherokee or similar could pull that off.
