    Hi everyone, super close to pulling the trigger on a Ice Cap White Tundra as I can't seem to find any in Lunar Rock in my price range. But as a previous Tacoma Owner, I know Tacomas had peeling paint issues on the White paint around 2018-2021 if I recall. Does the Tundra suffer from this same issue?

    Personally I would stay clear of whites and especially metallic whites. Ive experienced peeling issues with white cars myself. And it is an issue across brands, not just toyota. Not sure of the reasons, but do some research and you will find white paint has been an issue with many auto brands.

    My Crystal White Pearl on my 16 STI has been flawless, but I have paint protection film on it, the wind chill pearl Toyota uses is nice as well. These are tri coat processes though so I am sure the base whites could be different.

    The wind chill pearl for the Tundra looks matte white in daylight and sliver hue at dusk.

    I bought another white ‘23 in July. No issues at all. Easy to keep clean. My white 2016 Tacoma and a 2009 Corrola we had both started to peel at about the 6 yr mark and both were repainted by Toyota after a factory recall program at about 8yrs. I don’t care. They stay so much cooler in the Summer. You can’t keep your palm on any other color that’s been sitting in the sun all day. Lunar Rock and silver aren’t too bad.

    My wife had a white Jeep Compass for 175k miles and 10 years and it was great. That was a jeep even.

    I had an 08 Super White, but we all know Toyota screwed the pooch on that one. Nowadays who know what you will get with all these new EPA standards and crap they make manuf use to save the planet on vehicle at a time. I had a 2020 Lexus NX300 that had a pearl white color. It was a lease and it held up good for the 3 years I had it.

    2 years now with my ice cap. No issue with peeling. Did find a lot of rail dust though. My second option was lunar rock too, but dealer was allocated white in specs I wanted.
