My Tacoma in "Cement" was one of the first vehicles in the area of that color,but I I knew is was up and coming color when I saw a Porsche and one of the high dollar European cars with the same paint.
At the time the dealer acted offended if I called it gray, but that is what the state called it on the registration.
With a long limestone driveway, the "Cement" is probably the perfect color, but they used to have a "metallic OD" color that was spectacular!

OK, it is the off road version, so one would expect some metal parts.
I went to determine what I needed to fabricate to have a front tie-down for my canoe and there is NO way.
That entire nose is PLASTIC.
Probably thousands of dollars of plastic, BUT PLASTIC NONETHELESS.
I think you will really like the truck!

Working on trying to buy a 6’ bed TRD Green.
Maybe I should re-think getting a new one.
I really have liked my 2013 TRD white 5’bed, it only has 86k. but really want the 6’ bed.

I happened to put down a $500 deposit on a 2021 4Runner to insure I got one how I wanted straight off the truck.
The dealer was getting 3 in and was told they would all be spoken for by the time the truck arrived.
Transaction went off without any problems .

Went to buy a Tacoma off road they wanted 3500 over MSRP they wanted to give me 22000 on my 2015 Tacoma I told them to stick it. Went and bought a Ford ranger
They gave me 28772 for my Tacoma I paid 36300 fir it in 2015. Ranger is a Lariat I paid 500 over sticker.

RE: my new Tacoma.
Looking at accessories, I really liked the bed racks.
It seems they cost $1,100 and up.
So I built one, $350 in parts.


I also ordered and installed the Black Out badge kit.

Is there any structural support carrying thru to the bed at the rear rack supports?

Just to the top/rim of the bed.
