    Took this baby for one last test drive before singing purchase paperwork. Came to a stop light and the back left tire went completely flat. We thought there was a nail. Come to find out, they had to replace a control arm, shock, and the tire! I’m glad that didn’t happen after I drove it off the lot as it could have been blamed on the leveling kit. Looks like I may get a new one instead!

    What color should I go with???? I’m going with a platinum, so cement is not a choice unfortunately.....

    For a Platinum I think that Black, Red, and White are my top pics. If you can get a Mesquite that would be very unique! Don't see a lot of Mesquite Brown Platinum's driving around.

    What he said, shows everything and hot as hell in the summer. If I had to do it again I would do white (love the white with black contrast) or the sand.

    I have black. Just cause I got a good deal on a CPO. If I was buying new probably mgm or white. All the tundra colors look good. Best truck in today’s market. Good luck on your purchase.

    Those test drives are dangerous. After trying a Taco (and hating it), I drove the Tundra and knew that was the truck I'd been looking for. BTW, Inferno! is also a great color. :thumbsup:

    White is the best looking Tundra color in my honest opinion. I have had a lot of colors, but there is just something about my white Tundra. Now if I could just find some wheels I feel the same about.
