I am unsure or on the fence about the color cavalry blue

    If I had your money, I’d by you a white TRD Pro just because. Hell, maybe even a random person on here just for shitzngiggles.

    24DB6E82-626F-424F-B1D7-6A9B23B5B348.jpg It’s a gorgeous color no reason to be “unsure”. I would have chose it over my Cement if possible and I truly love the cement color…

    Don't do it. It's obvious your not a fan and have concerns. Don't spend 40+ thousand on something you might possibly like as time goes by.

    Lots of others on this site have shared similar regrets. Expand your search and get the color you actually want.

    Love it. Barcelona Red was my second choice, but Cavalry Blue changes in the light. I love that it isn't just another metallic color.

    These are the moments apart; one in the sun and one on the shaded side. It's even more drastic on a sunny vs overcast day.

    One thing to be aware of is tendency of the chip guard to discolor the paint on the lower panels/doors. It shows up more on the nonmetallic colors. Hardly a deal breaker for me, though.

    One more shameless pic. One of my favorites of the color. Funny enough it still had the chrome, and looked good, @memario1214! :quickdraw:

    Color does stick out, plus the Blacked out and Blue looks killer together... Chrome gotta go. Imho.

    I actually really like most colors with the chrome. It makes the colors more dramatic…let the :crapstorm:begin LOL!

    I wish my bumpers were completely chrome instead of having that stupid black section in the middle.

    Personally I love the contrast. I had a 2012 TRD Sport Tacoma and a 2017 4Runner which I loved but truthfully they looked like iKea furniture with everything being matchie matchie. Heck even my wife’s 2016 Highlander looked better with some chrome and small black wheel well trim. To me, too much of anything is no bueno…but to each their own. And clearly I am not a trendy guy.

    Not my truck, but these are some pics of @runnin4tacos AKA @r4tsquad (Instagram)
    Cavalry blue is definitely high on the list of best colors IMO!

    Its not as awesome as my truck, but its not terrible. :rofl: Cavalry is one of the prettier colors imo. But seriously, get whatever color makes you happy and dont worry about what strangers on the internet say. Im obsessed with my inferno, my sister thinks its the ugliest color on the planet.. everyones entitled to their opinions even if theyre shit. :D

    Just say no to chromaphobia!! If the color of your truck governs or effects your emotional state than there are medications and therapeutic supports to help you with that. Get the color you like, eat quiche all you want and don’t be afraid to cross your legs (as long as you are not driving).

    Root beer, Mesquite, or Magma Red as Ford calls it looks great when done up , but it is a SOB to keep it that way. I think it shows dirt and scratches worse than black. When I detailed my MGM today it was more forgiving that I thought it would be in showing smudges, halos and other artifacts in the finish.

    I wish you the best and MGM is a great color in addition to many others. I owned two MGM and unfortunately in due time in will become much harder to keep clean…

    Cavalry Blue looks real good on a TRD Tacoma. I almost bought a CV Tundra, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I was afraid that I would get tired of the color over time. Instead, I'll get tired of washing a black truck all the time.

    That said, some of the CV Tundras posted in this thread are real sharp. If you like it, get it. Its not a color you see every day, so it stands out.
