Ice Cap vs. Wind Chill Pearl - White vs. Gray?

[ajbLC250]

A little late to the party but here’s my 2 cents..

I had 4 5th Gen 4Runner Limiteds. All were White Pearl and I always hated the yellowish tint. I always wished they’d offer the same White as the TRD and SR5’s.

So I was going to get the Ice Cap (yes, I prefer white vehicles) or Meteor Shower.

When I saw the WCP in person I knew instantly I wanted it.

It definitely has a very slight blue/grey tint IMHO. But I feel it really just looks like the perfect white color.

As a bonus, I wash our black cars weekly and my LC once every 3-4 weeks as it always looks so clean in comparison.

Best of luck in your decision.

Edit to add: WCP looks awesome contrasted against tinted windows.

WCP with a full satin/stealth PPF. Really nice shimmer in different lights, and it seems to enhance the body angles on the LC.

Ice cap is a more solid, bright white. IMO it contrasts better with the black accents versus the WCP. I like white vehicles cause I’m in the woods a lot and they hide scratches better than a dark color. I would have been happy with ice cap but that color was not offered in the premie package so I got the WCP. It is a 3 stage paint . I did have an opportunity to purchase the grey, can’t remember what the official name is. But that vehicle was built at the Hino plant and I wanted a vehicle built at the Tahara plant. The grey is a very nice color. It would have been my only other choice.

I have Heritage Blue. I like it, though now and then I have to convince myself it’s not a gimmicky color. I get compliments.

I was waiting on an Incognito GX Overtrail that never arrived when I made the switch to the LC. Generally fine with it and I do like the Toyota ethos. But if Toyota offered the LC in a low flake concrete gray I would have jumped.

I saw a 2027 WCP at a dealership yesterday. Door handles, rear spoiler, and rear TOYOTA trim were glossy piano black. Can anyone confirm that the 2027 Ice Cap paint option is the same, or are the door handles, rear spoiler, and trim matte black?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure on IC, but my ‘26 WCP (Premium+) has black trim, handles and spoiler.

Piano (glossy) black or matte black?

My WCP (2026) has gloss black handles, mirrors, rear top spoiler, and tailgate TOYOTA badge in center. Fender skirts, roof pillars, and front end parts are flat black.

I haven’t seen anything except glossy black on any LC250 ? Never seen matte on door handles etc ? Maybe I have missed something. My 2025 Ice Cap is all glossy black …

Thanks everyone!

I would say it’s Gloss/Piano black.

I like Wind Chill, because It looks white, but also gray, and it shines at night. Its always a joy to walk up to it from far away. I made sure to check other cars at the dealership with that paint scheme before mine arrived to be sure that was the one. Ice Cap is also very nice, as both show the contours well. I went with whiteish because, Texas, and also perhaps with the pinstripes. I need to find a good local PPF installer. I am going to go look at it again.

All Land Cruisers have black mirrors and door handles. Lexus GX550 handles/mirrors are colors match the paint.

your making me want to go back to the OEM wheels. Not sure why everyone "upgrades" the stock 18" wheels.
I personally thought my LC LC Premium was going to come with 20” wheels so I ordered aftermarket wheels prior to delivery, otherwise I would have kept the OEM 18’s

its not a bad look, i preferer the NA black bumpers and door handles
