    I am unsure if I like the color or not? Lets see how many members here I can offend by asking if the color is too effeminate for a guy. How bad is it at showing dirt and to maintain?

    Well, you could pick worse colors such as Lunar Rock, Army Green or Mesquite. I would much rather have CV over those three and even Black or Voodoo Blue.

    But I will say VB looks great...I just would not want to own that color.

    My favorite is Barcelona Red.

    But get the color YOU want...who cares what a bunch of internet strangers might say.

    Ugly color. I wouldn't call it effeminate, but it's definitely the ugliest color available on the Tundra. Looks like a desaturated, sun faded blue. Not good, won't age well.

    It's the best blue out there in my opinion. I prefer muted colors, don't much care for the other blues I've seen.

    you're gonna confuse your self if you ask people what they think about colors. just get whatever color you feel like and don't worry about people's opinions. Cement is definitely the best though

    Sounds like maybe you like it, but you're overly worried if others will. Fack'em and get the one you want. I guarantee you if you spend enough time on this forum, someone's going to make fun of it. Like @LuvTundras hating on my Smoked Mesquite, which is the only proper color except green for a manly Tundra :D. Someone typed 'Sement' once, and made me squirt coffee out of my nose. Blue is too foofy, gray is too unemotional, and white and black show dirt. They all look great.

    Cavalry Blue is an amazing color. I personally don't like it in TRD OR trim with all of the chrome, but with some modest modifications it's one of my favorites.

    Sorry guys but to me cement looks like primer with clear coat. I am on the fence because I found a truck for sale in CB that has everything I want at a decent price but I really like the dark gray color but there are few of those around here.

    Stretch out your search area a bit. Worth travelling if you can find the one you like.

    I was really on the fence when I ordered mine, all my favorite color options were done being built for the year. I didn’t hate Cav blue, but just wasn’t sure. Once I saw the truck in person, I was sold.

    I am looking in a 300 mile radius. I do not mind driving, but I will not fly to pickup as I haven't had my jab. (I caught myself and pulled back my thought there)

    I agree with you. Cavalry Blue and Army Green seem to be much better with color matched swaps then all the chrome trim.

    It's an art form :anonymous:

    Seriously though, the wheels are 17s, so it makes the tires look huge!

    I feel like it’s wanting to be like cement but blue. It’s a light color, with little depth to it like cement but lacks the appeal at the same time.

    I like this place as everyone is pretty easy going and doesn't get all butt hurt over the slightest little thing. I am on several forums and some people are just wound up tighter than dicks hatband.

    Emotions are irrational and unnecessary. Signed, a butthurt MGM owner. :rofl:

    I like the Cavalry Blue with black. Actually, that's the color I intended to buy when I went to check out the Tundra. Wife was worried I'd get tired of the color (I've never been a "colorful" guy with clothes or vehicles, my language can be a different story lol ). Anyway, she talked me into the MGM - which honestly didn't take much since our 4R is MGM too. That, and MGM looks damn good when clean!

    Short answer: If you like it, get it.:thumbsup:
