    IDK about that. I did see a new white tundra the other day. I was just surprised it didn't have a direct tv installer sticker on it. I figure they must have just picked it up from the dealer and were on their way to get the sticker.

    Does one question why rain falls? Why true love is blind? Why I look better in a purple dress than a green one?
    No! One just understands that things are the way they are and questioning them is a waste of time.

    My WHITE Tundra is fast because it has to outrun all the boxer-briefs it seems to have dropping around it:rofl:20190813_002038.jpg

    White is not the fastest color BECAUSE...."Color is visible light with a specific wavelength. Black and white are not colors because they do not have specific wavelengths. Instead, white light contains all wavelengths of visible light. Black, on the other hand, is the absence of visible light."

    That's physics, man. White is actually a mix of every color. So, to say white is the fastest color is to defy the immutable laws of physics. Mic drop, end of discussion. :bowdown:

    It all depends on what the light wave is passing through, and how much refraction is occurring.

    White is great if you are riding in a truck, but you may want to choose red if you are somehow able to ride in a light wave.

    i think we should all embrace binary color positivity.

    as long as white identifies as any other color in the spectrum, it too can be accepted by others without prejudice :oldglory::devil:

    My wife’s sequoia is white and fast. It’s fast cause she hits to floor when she drives it and loves the power. She says who cares a MPG. Lol

    Toyota just announced that in 2021, white Tundras will no longer be available. They are discontinuing white and replacing it with violet.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I think it depends on the method of measurement... Like how Death Valley is the hottest point on Earth, but the oceans contain more overall heat. Everyone knows an MGM is the fastest single vehicle, but there are so many white trucks out there making deliveries and heading to jobs sites that white has a higher total speed. I dunno though. I'm not a scientist :notsure:

    Simple answer. Guys in white trucks drive around at full throttle to avoid being seen.

    Us cement gray guys drive nice and slow so everyone can see how great our trucks look.
