It has a totally discreet cargo volume that rivals a full size pickup. We had one, and you better remember where you parked because there were 3-4 of them in every lot.
 Or the Toyota equivalent if you want all wheel drive:

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. A 4 door midsized sedan. In the 90s, a GM product. After the 2000s, probably Japanese.

It's literally the ultimate gray vehicle... maybe less so in pickup truck country. I have a very bright green and yellow license plate which takes away from the gray man thing a bit, but helps us see it. |

Completely depends on your area. A farm pickup with some mud on it blends in where I live. A shiny mini van driving down my road means they are city people that are not surrounded by their people.

White XL trim F-150 with no Cap or any other identifying features that would set it apart. Not that people would notice your truck is a Lariat OP but it does set it apart a little.

Grey or white f150, Lariat (non-chrome) and down, or a white Chevy pick up.
We had a guy do a hit and run on a drunk pedestrian, totally the pedestrian's fault, but the drive bailed. In a crowed area, with video cameras, they have never caught them. White Tundra, no lift, stock wheels, no stickers, just tinted windows, no good shot of the plate. |

In my world.
Black, white, or silver: Toyota Highlander or Acura MDX/RDX will allow you to blend in anywhere at anytime. Basically, any white, black or silver semi-upscale SUV will do. Add a stick figure family sticker in the window and an empty Panera cup in the cup holder and you are invisible. |

In this part of the country I think the older two-tone Subaru Outback would win hands down. Good coat of road grime in the winter, and you're one of about a half million identical vehicles. The same guy in CDA owns the Toyota and Subaru dealership...he must be a billionaire.
Anyone in a 4x4 pickup is armed. Anyone in a neon Rubicon is a wealthy divorcee. Anyone in a Tesla or a Range Rover is out-of-state, no matter what their license plate says. 4Runner and Tacoma drivers are the salt of the Earth, and also armed. I hate people who stereotype. |
