    Not sure where to post:

    I have had several green trucks over the years, and they all seem to fade and rust faster then non green. Could just be coincidence, however was wondering if anyone had the Army Green and the thoughts are on it?

    I don’t think the army green color is old enough to know that information yeti? But maybe someone that owns one may have some insight...

    No paint expert but I can not imagine the AG would be any better/worse than any other color. All depends on k
    ept indoors or outdoors and how you kept up with washes/paint protection (wax/polish etc)

    It was a color on FJs in 2011, so there are a few out there.

    I had a TTSE army green FJ, it showed pinstripes quite well and took a bit more work than the lighter shades to maintain. Paint was as durable as any other Toyota I’ve owned though. It was 6years only when I sold it with 70k on it.

    Thanks, this one has been sitting on the lot for over two weeks, so either something is wrong with it (new truck) or people do not like the color. Price is about average for TRD Tundra's in my area.

    debadged, diamondback, window tint, dirty deeds exhaust.
    Not sure about fading but most new vehicles, Tundras included , the paint is so thin that it does chip very easily.
