    I have been torn between these two colors. I would love to see anyone’s crewmax of these , particularly the TRD OR packages for sr5 or limited. Love the look in both with predator steps and the stock tires so it’s hard to choose!

    I have owned many silver vehicles from Toyota. Always enjoyed the ease of upkeep/maintenance and took a lot to look dirty. However I will say that I love the Cement color. It’s slightly harder to keep clean but its more dramatic than silver in a very good way. Personally I would chose the Cement again in a heartbeat.

    I had a silver sky DC and almost bought a cement crewmax when I bought my MGM crewmax. the cement is cool looking. But I think you need to black everything out and lift with aggressive tires etc.

    The silver sky you can get away with some chrome and keep the truck looking relatively tame. Can’t speak for cleaning the cement but silver sky looks amazing when freshly detailed and doesn’t look terrible when that first rain hits or even it gets some dirt on it.

    long story short, I think the cement is something I’d grow tired of in a year or 2 where the silver sky (like MGM, black, white) are classic colors that won’t ever go out of style.

    Cement looks great, but it is definitely more of a “trendy” color choice. I’ve got SSM and am very happy with it.

    I vote cement. It always grabs my attention more than the silver. I see a debadged cement at my son's school and it looks so good.

    Cement, but I’m bias. Many on here say cement is -3 hp due to the added weight. :notsure:

    I would get cement between the two. It grabs my attention far more than silver. I had a sliver sky before.

    Your taste in wheels and beer can't be argued with.

    Sorry not a crewmax, but here’s my silver sky. Wasn’t ever a silver person but there’s something different about silver sky that I really like. It caught my eye at the dealership when I had actually gone there to look at a magnetic grey truck and ended up leaving with this one. It’s more of a titanium color than silver I think. It shows off the shadows of the unique body lines of the tundra like no other color IMO.

    I went with a ssm crewmax sr5 and bought trd or wheels on Craigslist. As others have said it is easier to keep "clean" and chrome blends in much better and saves me some money to not buy the color match bumpers and grill surround.

    I like cement but had doubts I would still like the color after 5 years. Sorry no pics now since I just changed my phone. Good luck with your choice

    Mine is SSM. I got it from my son who originally bought it new. If ordering today I would get cement.

    You can't go wrong with either. That said, my Tacoma was cement and it's a color I'd happily own again. I always got comments on the color.

    I like both colors but I went with silver because that is what I could find used with the packages I wanted. The silver sky also looks better if it don't want to spend a lot to delete the chrome.

    They both look good. Silver looks better if leaving the chrome tho. However id do the black badges and what not with either. If i had to choose id do the silver and get black wheels and badges
