    Hello All!

    Been reading this great website as I've been contemplating buying a Tundra. I've finally decided what I'm looking for thanks to this site.

    2nd Gen
    Blue Pearl
    Double Cab
    5.7L 4x4

    Has to be the best looking truck out there right? Every time I see one of these I pull a muscle in my neck. My trouble is I'm not seeing any 2010-2013 available in the lighter blue color, only earlier years. Did this color option disappear for those years?

    Hmmn. I don't know about colour/ year combos. But I do know that colour would look pretty in pictures of your truck parked in front of beautiful trees, lakes, and skies that Idaho features!

    I just got back from a visit to the northern-most area of the panhandle. Where are you?

    A lot of folks end up buying an MGM after test driving a Super White. They get so scared by the blinding speed that they commit to a life of mediocrity and slowness...

    And you never have to worry about a warranty because it is common knowledge that white tundras are indestructible.

    North Idaho. I must say after moving here, first thing I noticed is every other truck is a Tundra. Definitely Toyota country up here.

    I stopped and looked at a 2016 in Blazing Blue Pearl today... "just to see the difference". I now fully intend to make an offer tomorrow. The interior on the 3rd gen is much nicer, although I seem to prefer the 2nd gen exterior. Price is high so they will need to come down a bit. Comps are $29k-$33k which is where KBB is at. Dealer wants $39k. Get to do some bargaining!

    I noticed the blue I was after is 2007-2010 only. Then a similar blue returned in 2016+.

    Welcome from Washington.

    Blue is a fine color. Did not listen to the white truck guys. They feel they are going faster because no one wants to look at basic white. Us trucks with style need to slow down so others can get a nice look at us. No one ever saw a white one drive by and say I gotta have it. It was always an MGM, Inferno, Black, Blue or Red tundra that got them shopping. So as you're shopping, even if you don't get your blue that you are looking for, don't settle for white.
