But to the point which shall ooze Heisenberg-levels of uncertainty; how is austere, staid, and utilitarian not within a certain realm of some fashion? For all the unicorn armies out there with glitter and rainbows, there's yet another mass of folks who want their Yeti coolers and matte (or flat-)-finished utility vehicles so they can go to beer dispensaries with chalkboard menus and reclaimed wood furnishings. To that point, was this theme not born out of a post-Recession/DIY mindset?

I can be wrong, and you have the right to prove it.

Nice buy by the way ! Love those trucks. We love our 2013 Taco as much as we still love our 2001 4Runner

I like that color on the new Tacomas, as well as the sand/mud looking color. My wife is not so fond of the latter.

not liking anything that is matte finish, to me every car needs a shiny clearcoat, the shinier the better.

There’s absolutely nothing matte about mine. It’s as glossy as OEM paint.
