    My dealer hasn't received and trucks yet and the few that are expected are black, and not what i am looking for. My two questions:

    1. Blueprint- I saw this an a van and it looks dark with cotton candy flake. Is that the same for the Trundra and is it bright/purplish in the sun. The van was a customers and couldn't be moved outside.
    2. MGM. Is there a lot/any metal flake in the paint. I saw this on a 2020?? model and it was not flaked.
    Thanks!!

    Thinking of putting an order in, but trying to decide on color. I also like the silver, but I may get out voted on that one..:). She says it is a "tinny" looking color.

    My daughters whom I consult on all things Colour related (As I am clinically colour blind) said the Silver looks tinny as well..Plus consulting them makes it seem like they are involved in the truck buying process ....SHHHH !! its a man secret

    i consulted my wife and 6 year old as well to make them feel included. Then I told them I’m going to buy the first one that meets my requirements because I’m not patient enough to wait for a certain color when I’m already waiting for a unicorn configuration.

    Blueprint was my last choice and what I ended up with. When it is clean it shows a little flake up close, more dark blue than anything. Slight dark purple vibe with bright light on it. I have had the truck for a couple weeks now and have a layer of grime on it and it looks great. Just a dark blue truck. Works for me.

    I haven’t seen much yet in Lunar Rock, does anyone have a photo to share? I’m currently waiting for a Crewmax Long box TRD OffRoad with the Lunar Rock, can’t wait.

    Check the pictures thread. There are 2022 Lunar Rock pics in there.

    Edit: Here’s the first one I found, but there are more in there. https://www.tundras.com/threads/who...new-truck-pics-here.99307/page-4#post-2533561
