    If north Texas isn't too far, then @RobertD or @Squatting Pigeon might have some info.

    Not sure if some people realize that the SO paint is faintly metallic in sunlight. Even I didnt know until they pulled it off the truck.
    It was a beautiful day today so I took some pictures as I was climbing in.

    Do a lot of people come up to you guys when you pull up into a parking lot to talk about the truck and its color?

    Constantly. Literally almost every day actually. Usually its other Tundra guys. I’d say half of them are, but then the other half is just random people. I have also been pulled over twice (no tickets, they just wanted to see it) and had another local sheriff deputy stop in front of me at a gas station so that he could block me in to see it up close. I told him to climb in.

    I'd follow you around for a bit. I've yet to see Solar Octane in the wild.

    Did the tires look small on the Pro? Also are the “raptor” lights on at all times when the truck is driving? Or do they only turn on when the headlights are on?

    I was on a frontage road beside the interstate, so I only saw it from the rear as it was going the same direction and at a bit of a distance. It didn't look like it had tiny tires, but they may not have been stock either. I am 99% sure the marker lights are on with the DRLs because they are DOT required due to the width of the truck. Same reason the Raptor has them.

    Yeah, that's a bit much. I'll ask about peoples cars at a gas station or in a parking lot, or I'll follow for a couple turns, but that's it. Don't want to weird people out.

    I was worried the tires would look small as in most pictures they looked on the small side to me. Full disclosure, other than the F150 I had as a stopgap for 4 months, this is the first truck I've owned, so I'm not a total truck guy and am more used to sports cars. In person, I think the tires look good. I don't think anything smaller would look good and bigger obviously suits the truck too. But before I picked up the truck some extended family were trying to convince me I needed 35s or 37s ASAP. Now that I have it, the stock tires look good and I'll only consider upping the size when I need to replace these.

    I think it's actually the metallic flakes that make it look orange. They are gold/yellow flakes in a very rich red orange color. In the sun they combine to make it look much more orange than in pictures.

    I think that's why Solar Octane photographs so differently from how it looks in person. In photos you mostly see that base rich red color. In person your mind picks up on the gold metallic flake and makes it look more orange.

    I was slightly worried they were making the Taco and 4Runner a little different color, the way they made the Lime Rush (4R) and Electric Lime (Taco) look a little different, after seeing the initial photos with all the Solar Octane Pros together. The Taco and 4R looked a little muted/pinkish compared to the Tundra and Sequoia, but this video has reassured me that it was likely a wrap as had been rumored.

    Love this color.

    I had a guy in a brand new Chevy ZR2 pull up to me to compare trucks. I should've taken a pic.

    That video isn't the wrap. The wrap was the ones that looked muted and pink. See the pic below how the Taco and the 4R don't look the same as the Tundra?

    I haven’t seen one in the wild yet. Only thing Ive seen on the ZR2 is complaints on youtube. To their credit, Chevy really could have done a lot more to call it a ZR2.
