    I want in on the current sale (15% off, see their website).

    I have a 2003 double cab with the grey interior and know that this grey is different than the earlier trucks, so 2001-2004 grey recommendations only!

    Which color matches the 01-04 grey interior best?
    • 21 Light Gray
    • 11 Charcoal
    • 100 Taupe
    Bonus if you have photos.

    11 charcoal is what you want. I got a set last year and wasn't sure by looking online so I drove too the factory in Costa Mesa Ca and looked at the sample swatches.
    21 light gray is very very light.
    11 charcoal isn't very dark at all, I would call it gray.
    100 Taupe not even close.
    I'll try too get a pic

    Charcoal is what I have, it matches MOST of the interior pieces. That being said, some pieces are darker than others so the seat covers won't match perfectly, regardless of what color you get. For instance, the center console/cupholders, steering wheel and dash pieces are a darker grey while the edge trim pieces are lighter grey. I think that light grey covers may still be a little lighter than the lightest colored trim pieces. There are some pics floating around of light grey somewhere - search the forums.

    Here's a pic of charcoal. I went with charcoal mainly because light grey would be far more difficult to keep clean and would have a harder time hiding stains.

    I agree with the responses so far.

    My thoughts are this: light grey will get dirty.
    Full black will be too hot in the sun.

    Cheapest ones (no piping): black outer / charcoal center stripe may be best.

    Charcoal with black. It’s not a perfect match but when I went to the show room and looked at all the upholstered seats side by side I thought it was close enough. Then took sample swatches out to the truck and realized it would be the best for me with the colors they offered. IMO the gray seemed more white than gray.
