    Wow, they actually start allocation on these in just like 2 weeks! I hear September!

    I still think inferno pulls this color off better . Honestly why the hell you need multiple oranges anyway . They should of done like blazing peach or something stupid along the lines .

    I saw a solar octane tundra at the fair in FOCO about 2 weeks ago. It has such a "richer color" then these photos. The lighting also makes it look "red" but the truck is orange. No doubt about it. My wife loves it. She actually likes it more then Electric Lime. We are number 1 for it at our local dealer.

    Unless they changed "solar octane" between 2022 and 2023

    Liking it better than Lime isn’t saying much. :D

    Just teasing. I like that the car makers try out stuff with fun colors. I had Inferno. It was a terrific color. I just could not stand the drivetrain implementation in the 2017. My boring silver 2021 is light years better.

    I didn’t care for the Tundra I saw in solar. The Tacoma Pro or 4Runner might be better, but I’ll have to wait and see.

    A few.
    Is that the case. I was thinking that the color on the Tundra looked different and better in the pics than it did on the other 2 models.

    It's actually orange. I've seen it on a tundra 2022 pro. Unless Toyota changed "solar octane" from 2022 to 2023 it is orange.

    There’s a shit ton of cement trucks and vehicles in my area. I see cement BMW’s, Kia’s, etc. They are everywhere.

    I also noticed a Ranger today that was Lunar. It was also the most bad ass Ranger I’ve ever seen. Lifted and leveled, nice rack, wheels, tires, etc.

    Does everyone copy everyone? Sure seems like it.

    Not a lot down here in AL thankfully. Ya cactus gray by ford is damn right sexy. I also love sting gray for wranglers. They all are similar but cement by far is the best as far as the uniqueness and pearl flake to it. Loved it when it was on the late model Scions too.

    Saw an Inferno Tundra at local dealer and its pretty wild. Not for me, but its something fun to look at on the roadways vs the boring silver/black/white majority of vehicles.
