I'm surprised that there was orange peel on that Tundra. I've been looking at them and the paint jobs have been pretty smooth. There's always a chance that it was hit and repainted, but also a chance that it came from the factory that way.

They are really bad, I'm not impressed at all.

Yeah it has a full console armrest, much better than the seat mounted armrests

The size and height of the console armrest is one of my favorite things about my Pinnacle.

@AMIRZA786 My cousin was pumping gas in Beverly Hills today. I believe she said 20 gallons was $114. They should’ve rented an EV!!

That's just insane prices. BH is one of the most expensive cities in California. I haven't seen a Full service station since I was a kid, it figures they would have one in BH. Wouldn't want to get those rich hands dirty pumping gas 😂

The total prices are of course crazy high, but it's been at least 15 years since I've seen that small an incremental price (30 cents) between regular and premium.

Yesterday I drove by a BP station near me and the difference was $1.10 per gallon.

A friend at work just got a 24 Tundra. I couldn't believe how terrible the orange peel parts look.

That’s about the only gas station I can think of in the thick of BH. Prices are ALWAYS even higher there. I used to park down the street and walk right by that gas station to go to work, my god that was 10 years ago almost—insane.

It's the only gas station in California that still has full service. Is that Santa Monica Blvd or Wilshire Blvd? Used to drive through that area all the time, brings back memories of lots of traffic I had to drive through
