Thinking the cherry color has an edge here but I don't know, they both look good.

Looks great in the sun! Kind of like BMW Carbon Black but with a little more blue in the color change. Get it!

I believe electric waste gate is what was termed “turbo gate” on the 2022 Tundras. The waste gate I believe was faulty. I’ve had my experience with electric waste gates as well. They are finicky.

I am sure Toyota has figured that out by now. The 5.7 in the prior generation Tundra was recalled at the beginning. Faulty camshaft’s if I recall. And the engines were made in Japan. I am sure Toyota has fixed the hiccups of the 3rd gen

I think this is a work of art. The base model with just enough features. And the cloth seats are amazing. Too bad no manual

Congrats, bonus is you could probably get a senior citizen discount at most fast food restaurants with that color.
